is the chance that the colonel would have
to defeat District Attorney Whitman. II
the latter should be the Republican can

that II he should run and be beaten his
prestige would suffer a severe blow.
Another matter that is being seriously
considered is the candidate for the United

frequently mentioned, but since the return
OF Colonel Roosevelt 1t has been pointed
out that Mr.. Straus would not DE avails-

TO the Progressive platform. Frederick

In spite Of the fact that Colonel Roose-

for Governor this fall the Progressive

whether or not it would be tho wisest

Oyster Bay. May %.-Colonel Roosevelt
is preparing to fire a broadside at the
Wilson administration before he sails for
Europe on Saturday.
His shot will be directed at the Under
wood tariff law. the Panama Canal tolls
repeal act and the proposed Colombia
treaty
The colonel will attack the Underwood
tariff act on the ground that It has failed
10 make good the Wilson promises that
1t would reduce the high cost OF living
and be a tonic TO business. He will say
the reverse has been true.
II is believed that, when tho colonel
starts. he may also strike at the admins
tration's Mexican policy.
Color was lent to this surmise by the
visit to Sycamore Hill to-day Of John
Callan O'Laughlin. for short time As
sistant Secretary Of State under Mr.
Roosevelt Mr.. OLaughlin had spent
several days at Niagara Falls, Ontario,
getting first hand information Of tho

at once critical and condemnatory, was
made within the last forty-eight hours.
Ever since his return from South Amer
lea, two weeks ago, he has been pleaded
with by two sets of advisers, one urging
him to withhold his fire on the admins
tration until his return from Spain, and
the other group advising him to Jump
into the fight at once. The colonel, who
dearly loves fight, decided the quicker
the better.
Colonel Roosevelt, when asked to-day

representatives tomorrow he would dis
cuss the possibility of his running for

topic but his failure to enter a denial

The ex-President will leave sagamore

New York for his train. He will start
back on Tuesday night.

day. Chief among them were ex-senator
