ON WEEKS CRUISE.

gram for Trip With Sons.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, July 9.-Democracy's
candidate for the White House will
cook his own meals, wash dishes and
be his own housekeeper next week.
But. between such menial tasks
Franklin D. Roosevelt will turn his
mind to thoughts Of the most i'm
portant undertaking he has ever faced
"a campaign for the Presidency.
The Governor sets sail Monday on
40-foot yawl, which has been rented
for $3.50. His only companions, as he
cruises UP the New England Coast, viii
be three Of his four sons.
There will be plenty Of opportunity
for rest and relaxation in preparation
for the arduous months of campaign
ing. Much of the time will be spent
by Roosevelt at his favor1te sport,
swimming.
But trailing the 40-foot Myth II will
be the trim 90-foot Ambassadress,
sea-going cruiser, which will have as
passengers a long list Of Democracys
kingpins.
once a day the Ambassadors will
come alongside the Myth, and Roose-
velt's thoughts will be brought back
to his campaign.
Conference Before Trip.
The new Democratic standard bearer,
before he sets sail will hold confer
ence with his campaign advisers, but
most of them will follow him on the
Anbassadress so the discussions can
be renewed from day to day.
Important decisions will have TO be
made-decisions which may have a
potent effect on who the countrys next
President is to be.
The Governors aides plan discussions
of campaign issues. campaign organlSa-
ton. campaign finances and campaign
strategy. They also may decide on the
selection Of campaign treasurer and
the chair1nen and personnel OF finance
and executive committees.
Roosevelt also plans to study the
charges filed against Mayor Walker and
the mayors reply, If it gets to him
during the week.
In the wake of the Myth and the Am
bassadress will be a craft bearing news
paper men, who will be kept informed OF
any decisions that may be reached by
the Governor The exact itinerary and
destination of the trip are being kept
secret.
Few plans for Democracy's 1892 fight
have been formulated yet, although Re-
publican leaders already have their
have opened their main headquarters
in Chicago and while Roosevelt is away
will settle details of their Eastern cam
paign.
AS preparations for the cruise were
being completed today the Roosevelt
managers expressed satisfaction over
the weeks political developments and
expressions Of opinion.
Wcnian Scores Platform.
The latest was statement from Mrs.
Christian r. Holmes, New York chair
man of the Women's Organization for
National Prohibition Reform, who de-
scribed herself as an ohio Repuh-
lican"
THE Republican platform is like O
iig-saw puzzle cut into a myriad Of
jagged, irregular pieces" she said AS
she sailed on the lie De France.
But no matter how skillfuliy it may
be manipulated, 1t can never make a
complete picture because the all-im-
portant fundamental piece is missing,
repeal Of the eighteenth amendment.
The Democratic platform presents a
complete picture. 1t is no puzzle
That is why I favor the Endorsement
of the platform of the Democratic
party and its nominee. I believe, how
ever, that in all congressional districts
we should adhere to non-partisan
policy and work and vote only for those
candidates who openly declare them
selves without evasion for repeal. A
wet Congress is the answer in achiev-
ing our goal.
IT came from Ohio and am a Re-
publican, with all the traditions Of that
Republican State but strongly feel
that until the eighteenth amendment
is repealed the welfare of our country
and not political party should be the
first consideration of every American
patriot
Mrs. Holmes stand is virtually the
same as that taken by the organization S
Executive Committee earlier in the
week.
Those who will follow Roosevelt on
the Ambassadress include James A,
Farley, new national chairman; Frank
c. Walker, assistant treasurer; Edward
j. Flynn, Rooseyelt's secretary of State
and Bronx Democratic leader, and Ed
die Dowling, comedian.
Under the original plan the Gov
ernor's four sons were to accompany
him on the yawl, but this afternoon
Elliott, next to the Oldest of the four,
informed his father business would pre-
vent him from making the trip.
