GOVERNORSHIP.

CHICAGO, Special.-On the eve of
the departure of Colonel Roosevelt to
oyster Bay to cOnvalesce from his
bullet wound, the Bull Moose leaders
found themselves in a vortex Of po-
litical activity last night.
While the wounded colonel went
back today, anticipating that he is to
get into the whirl of the campaign i'm
meoiately and run things himself from
Sycamore Hill, his managers. realizing
that he must quietly rest, laid plans to
relieve him of the intimate response
bility.
To this end Governor Johnson. the
vice presidential candidate. came out
with the definite announcement that
he would not so back to California 10
save his job-which is in peril be-
cause Of his long stay away from it
but that he intended taking up the
work left by his invalid running mate
when felled by. the wouId-be assas-
sins bullet. Shortly after giving out
his statement, Governor Johnson bus
tied off to q train ana left for New
York, where he is TO start a desperate
campaign tour of the East.
The Governor took this action in
face of the urgent advice of CclHr ?;
Roosevelt that he hasten back to Cal
ifornia and leave the campaign to the
rough riuer. When Roosevelt learned,
at Mercy Hospital of what Johnson
! had done, trace of a tear came to
