ROOSEVELT ON THE STUMP
Colonel viii Probably Be Sent to De
batable States.

New York, Aug. 27.-Theodore
Roosevelt does not intend to make
more than half dozen speeches dur
ing the Hughes campaign, it became
known yesterday after call for help
had been sent to the colonel from the
West. The republican national COM
mittee had made arrangements with
the colonel to speak once in Maine on
August 81 and at Battle Creek, Mich
on September 30. Then the need for
more ginger in the campaign became
so manifect that pressure was brought
to bear on the ex-president to extend
his itinerary. The colonel reluctant
ly asented and agreed to make few
more speeches.
Where they will be made has not
yet been determined, but 1t is likely
that the colonel will be sent into the
debatable States. 1t is Just possible
that he will be importuned to speak
once or twice in New York state but
nothing has yet been done about that.
A. T. Hert, in charge of the republi-
can campaign In Chicago and the mid
die West, called upon Mr. Roosevelt
at Oyster Bay on Wednesday and told
him that he was urgently needed In
the West. II is understood that he
assured the colonel that he was the
only speaker on the republican list
that could be depended upon to put
the necessary ginger into the situation
Il, hA ts,
make six speeches altogether, but no
more. II 1t was absolutely necessary
he might make seven, he added.
Ex-President Taft has also been ap
pealed to, to take the stump in the
cause of Mr. Hughes, and II is under
stood that he will make several
speeches during October. Ex-senator
Elihu Root will also speak, but nc
dates have been arranged for either.
