nounced some OF the most impor-
tant things be will aud will not do
on his arrival IN New York.
Briefly summarized, here are bis
intentions and bis reasons therefor.
lie will not:
Run for governorship of New
York, because he has not time 10
be sidetracked IN Albany again.
Accept nomination for the Unit
ed States Senatorship, because the
suggestion is palpably Preposterous.
Make any speech. making cam
palgn for any party or individual,
himself included, because his physi-
clan will not let him-but
He Will accept the Progressive
party's nomination for the presi-
dency, because be is convinced the
country is IN a most unhealthy state
and he feels that the majority of the
men of the nation want hin to cure
it. Obviously, the man who has
been declaring many times a day
that he would make absolutely no
statement on politics until after his
return home could not completely
forget these delaratIons-and he
proved he had them in mind by tor.
bidding the correspondent a dozen
times during the interview to quote
HIM on subjects about which he
talked positively enough to make
impossible his doing anything less
than once more becoming before the
nation az a candidate for president.
Bitter Against Wilson
In the beginning the colonel
fenced with the interviewer, his
statements being carefully weighed
and slowly delivered, but presently
he waxed enthusiastic aud plunged
ahead with his old.time vlgor en-
tirely and joyful;y regardless of the
printed consequences.

imperturbability he has been wear.
ing IN the role of geographer ever
since he landed in England and let
it be seen that his real purpose Of
giving the American voters another
chance to hand over to him the
reins OF government springs primar-
lily from his conviction that the
hour of his return is at hand.
His appeal may be divided into
two general parts.
First-He is going to show up
what he characterlzes as the "fright.
full errors" not only of the Wilson,
but of The Taft administration, and
