lows:
First and least important II you

amused for it is moralizing with lofty
indignation over the Bringing servility

insurance superintendent. I fear 1t viii

THE VICE PRESIDENCY.
Now as to serious matters. l have
of course done a great deal of think
| ing about the vice presidency. Since
the talk I had with you followed by
the letter from Lodge and the visit
from Payne. of Wisconsin I have been
reserving the matter to talk over
with you, but in view Of the publication
in the Sun this morning I would like
to begin the conversation, as 1t were,
| by just line or two now. / need not
speak of the confidence / have in the
! j
not help feeling more and more that
the vice presidency is not an Office
in which / could do anything, and not
an office in which man who is still
vigorous and not past middle life has
| much chance of doing anything.
! las you know, ! AN of an active
nature IN spite of all the work and all
the worry-and very largely because of
your constant courtesy and consideration,
my dear senator--l have thoroughly on
| joyed being governor, have kept every
promise expressed or implied, made on
the stump and feel that the Republican
party is stronger before the State be-
cause Of my incumbency. Certainly every
thing is being managed now on per-
fectly straight basis and every office
is as clean as a whistle.
Now. / should like to be governor for
another term, especially if we are able
! to take hold of the canals in serious
shape, but as c-president I don't Sec
that there is anything I can do. would
simply be a presiding officer and that
should find a bore.
II am by no means sure that | ought
, to go on in public life at all providing
| some remunerative work provided itself
The only reason that should like to go
on is that as | have not been a money
maker | feel rather in honor bound to
leave my children the equvalen. in a
way of n substantial sum of actual
achievement in politics or letters. Now,
as governor | can achieve, but as vice
president ] Should achieve nothing. The
more l look at it the less I feel if the
vicc-presidency offered anything to mo
that would warrant my taking it, OF
course I shall not say anything until
hear from you and possibly not until
see you"
