WHAT W. J. 3.
 THINKS OF II
Colonel Roosevelt Would Be the Paramount Issue If There Was the Slight est Possibility of His Election
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

DENVER, Sept 5.-'If Roosevelt could win, then in my opinion the presidential third term question would be of more importance in this cam paign than any economic issue. The evils resulting from any other issues could more easily be corrected than the evils that would arise from an overthrow of the two term limit for president''
 This was the answer made by Will liam Jennings Bryan in an interview just before he sat down as a guest of honor at a fish and game ban quet rendered to the visiting state game commissioners here tonight.
 Discussing national politics. Bryan said the returns from Vermont were encouraging, and if a similar decision by the republicans should be the re suit in other states, it would mean that the democrats would carry near ly every state this fall
 Replying to a question as to what is the supreme issue in the present campaign, Bryan said: Taft says it is the preservation of a constitutional government in the United States, but conviction. Roosevelt says the over throw of the bosses is the supreme issue, but to my mind everything seems to depend on whether the bosses are for him or against him.
 Democrats regard the tariff ques- tion as the paramount issue, and they are not surprised to see Roosevelt and Taft lodging it.

SEAGIRT, N. J, Sept. 5.-Governor Wilson received two delegations of Italians today, one from Jersey City and the other from Brooklyn. He talked to them about immigration. This sort of visit is more than welcome to me now" he said. Be cause I fear the things l have written have been most grossly misinterpret- ed 1 had on frequent occasions re- gently to meet delegations similar to this. It has been a great gratifica- ton to me that they all speak in gen. erous language their appreciation to- wards myself and also with an ex- tremely broadminded apprehension of what my real position is and of what my real feelings are.
 America has been enriched by having the aspirations of some of che finest races in the world brought to her shores. I don't know whether we ought to rejoice that other countries are in the same degree impoverished, but as for myself, as an American along with yourselves, I rejoice most heartily in the circumstance that men of every European blood have brought to this country tnelr HlSneSC dSplfd- tions, because they cannot bring these aspirations without making the coun- try greater, and freer than it would be without them
 "When men on their own initiative come with a preliminary love for or desire for America to establish homes here and to identify themselves with the country, the result cannot be any thing but good for the country it.
