johnson Calls on Him.
| Chicago, Oct. 19-Colonel Roosevelt
| will leave Chicago for Oyster Bay on
Monday or Tuesday of next week. He
will travel on one of the slower trains,
so that he may enter New York at the
| station from which the trains to Oy-
ster Bay depart.
This plan was decided upon, with
only the qualification that it depended
| upon Colonel Roosevelts continued
| and uninterrupted Improvement,
which hts physicians now confidently
| expect.
With the danger of blood poisoning
virtually past, the physicians for the
| first time agreed to comparatively
| speedy release for the patient. 1t was
thought best for him to travel on one
of the slower trains, on the theory that
the more frequent stops would give
him occasional periods of rest.
Colonel Roosevelt will travel in a
private car, and probably will be un-
der the care of DR.. Scurry Terrell, the
Dallas physician, who has accompan-
led him throughout his campaign, and
DR.. Alexander Lambert, his family
physician.
Others in the party will be Mrs.
Roosevelt, Theodore, Jr., Miss Ethel.
Philip Roosevelt, the colonel's young
cousin; Elbert H. Martin, the secre-
tary, who disarmed Schrank; John
McGrath, another of the colonels Sec
n~1~ r fSf
Texas.
Although Colonel Roosevelt insists
that he will shortly be in fit trim to
re-enter the campaign, the physicians
say he must have period of absolute
rest after he reaches home. DR.. Lam
bert probably will remain at Oyster
Bay for some time, and while the
suit with Progressive leaders, 1t had
not been decided definitely that 1t
would be safe for him to take the
stump.
The wound in the colonel's chest has
healed to such an extent that there Is
believed to be only one chance in
thousand of his having any further
trouble with it. So far as inconven1-
ence from the wound is concerned the
patient could be walking about as be-
pleased.
Governor Johnson was admitted to-
the colonel's room.
Keep the fight going full blast,
Johnson; don't let our boys slack up
in their work because l can't be with
them for few days. Tell the people
you speak to I wish could be out
there working with you myself, and
that I certainly will be as soon as my
doctors will let me-"
This was Colonel Roosevelt's part
ing injunction and encouragement to
the Progressive candidate for vice
president as the latter left the hos
pital.
Mrs. Johnson accompanied her hus-
band into the Roosevelt apartments.
and after greeting the patient chatted
with Mrs. Roosevelt while the candi-
dates heading the Progressive ticket
planned the immediate future in short
crisp sentences.
The conference continued less than
half an hour, but when Governor
Johnson emerged his smile was lost
in determined look, set brow and a
vigorous step, which betokened reas-
surance and encouragement from his
chief
"He looks fine," said Governor
johnson. 81 told him so, and also
told him not to worry, that we were
doing fine; that the people were
awakening to the fact our work was
not a voice in the dark idly calling,
but a challenge to them to arise to
their own responsibilities. He laughed
and told me 1 was making an argu-
ment to him in so speaking, and sug-
gested that I save that to give to my
audience"
Mrs. Johnson said she thought Colo
mel Roosevelt looked exceptionally
well, and was told by him he felt "bet-
ter than he looked"
After the departure of Governor
Johnson. attendants assisted the pa
tient to his feet and he sat in an easy
chair for an hour. He said it rested
him so much and so relieved him from
the monotony of lying in bed, he was
going to ask his physicians to allow
