been received. and in his talk with
newspaper men, the governor left
the impression that he, at least
was interested in the proposition OF
an early invasion of the west If not
in fact favorable to it. He stated
however, that campaign arrange
ments are in the hands of the ma
tional committee and that he could
say nothing definite until he has

The fact that Franklin y. Roose-
welt has stopped over for 24-hour
rest at Glenwood Springs. Colo,

conference probably will take place
in Columbus as he expects to go
there Monday to look after mat
ters of the executive office.

souri, his expression of thanks for
the courteous message received
from the Missouri senator,
