ALL THINGS POSSIBLE
WITH ROOSEVELT
Tenor Of Opinion on Latest
Story About Colonel.

Washington, Sept. 25.--"With Roose-
welt all things are possible" was the
general tenor of answers returned by
congressman interviewed on the re-
marks attributed to Senator Suther-
land at Salt Lake City recently that
the colonel would be the Republican
nominee in 1916.
The Roosevelt query gained interest
by a statement by Representative
Clyde Kelly of PENNSYLVANIA that the
colonel had refused to state definitely
to Progressive congressman who re-
Gently visited him that he would or
would not accept a Republican nomi-
nation.
THE question was put to Colonel
Roosevelt point blank" said Kelly.
"He gave his visitor every assurance
that such an event was most improb-
able, but he did not make a categorical
answer.
Il believe" Kelly added, that the
talk of Roosevelt being nominated by
the Republicans is buncombe, merely
an attempt to distort the issue be-
tween the Republicans and Progress
sives. But even the loss of Roosevelt
would not destroy the Progressive
party 1t is a party of principles and
is not based on any mans personal
ity."
Il believe, If the Republican. party
is to be successful in the next cleo
tion, Progressive must be selected
to lead the party" said Senator Cum
minis of Iowa. La Toilette, Borah
and any one of dozen other Progress
sives would do"
