WILL ROOSEVELT
 RUN FOR GOVERNOR '?
Colonel Says He Will Not Change His Previous Statements Declining
 to Run-Question Still Open.

to Run-Question Still Open.
 New York, July S.-For two hours today the progressive leaders of New York state used every argument at tfeir command to force Colonel Roosevelt to agree that he would &C., cept the nomination for governor. After it was all over, Colonel Roose- welt said that he had nothing to say at this time, and would not change his previous statements declining to run. 1t was 2 understood, however that the question was still an open che.
 Judging from the sounds which emanted from the big counsel room at the national progressive head quarters, the debate was a lively one with Colonel Roosevelt on one side and everybody else on the other, Colonel Roosevelt was told that in his own party there was an overwhelm- ing demand for him to lead the party.
 When Colonel Roosevelt came out of the counsel room he said: II spent the time listening. I haven't got any thing to say about the governorship or anything else concerning politics"
 Somebody handed to the colonel a newspaper despatch quoting Henry Savage Landor of England, as renew ing his attack on explorer Roosevelt's claim to the discovery of a river in South America.
 "Landor," the colonel exclaimed, lis a perfectly preposterous absur- dity'
 Colonel Roosevelt agreed today to make speech in Boston, originally set for July 24, on August IT.
 Delegations of progressives from ly that they had not even considered another name for the head of the ticket. ..r
 Col. Roosevelt came to New York by train from Oyster Bay and went at once to progressive headquarters. He declined to talk politics, but in- timated that he might have some- thing to say later..
 Although Col. Roosevelt has said several times that he would not ac- cept the nomination, he admits that his denials have made little impress sion on his political associates. He is reluctant to make the fight, both on account of the condition of his health and the bearing which a de- feat might have on the fortunes of the progressive party at large.
 Ever since his return from Europe Col. Roosevelt has been receiving letters and telegrams from progress sive leaders in various parts of the country urging him not to accept the nomination.

TOWN AROUSED OVER
 KISSING TEACHER
Mass Meeting Called at Bergenficld N. J., to Protest Against His
 Engagement.

Hackensack, N. J.. July s.-Women as we'll as men will attend the mass meeting in the fire house at Bergen field tonight to make a further pro- test against the action of. the board of education there in engaging Prof. Lafayatte Talbot as supervising prin- cipal for next term in face of the fact that Talbot was dismissed from a Hoboken school few weeks ago for kissing scrubwoman.
 Here is the contents of circular distributed in Bergenheld yesterday and given to each housekeeper in a house to house canvass:
 Protect your school!
 Protect the moral welfare of your children by attending the mass meet ing under the auspices of the Inde- pendent Civic League of Bergenfield on Wednesday evening, July 8, in the fire hall!
 If you have a boy or girl going to school next term you are doing them an injustice if you fail to be present!
 Mothers and fathers particularly are urged to attend.''
 We are not assailing Prof. Talbot personally, but we are opposing the boards action in signing a contract with him to teach in this town while his appeal to the state board is pend- ing," said Editor Jones of the Civic League yesterday. We have got to reach some definite conclusion in the matter, because the state board will not take up Prof. Talbet's appeal un- til September II, four -days after his contract with the board is supposed to begin"
 A vigorous protest has been pre- pared and is to be filed with County Superintendent Wooster, providing it Is indorsed at the meeting tonight,

 Bear in mlnd that an ounce of prevention is worth weeks of fire fighting. When you see a fire. if you cant go to it yourself and and put it out, will you notify the nearest forest officer?
 In 1913 there occurred "A fires on the Apache Forest. That number must be reduced this year and it can be done by talk ing care with camp fires.
 Any assistance you may give us during the coming season will certainly be appreciated.
