lican National Committee. visited
Sycamore Hill today and pleaded
with Colonel Roosevelt to increase
the number of speeches he is to make

with much emphasis. asserted that
Republican leaders throughout the
country are clamorng for the reap
poarance of the Roosevelt punch in
the campaign. This demand said
Perkins has become more insistent
since the Coloners Battle Creek speech
last Saturday The Colonel appeared
gratited over the fact that his par
t'cipation in the campaign is so eager
" sought, but he did not promise to
make more speeches than he has
already contracted for. He did not
refuse, and II is possible at his con-
ference tomorrow in New York with
hartman Wilcox he will accept.
The Republican managers are anx-
;ous to have the Colonel go to the
coast. and also into some OF the
southern States, but he is not very
enthusiastic over the idea.
