Can Talk Him Out of II,
GreenIee Says.
STILL LOYAL. HE ADDS
My Soul Is Not for SaIe,'

interviewer.
BY JAMES DOSS
Times stan Writer.

Nobody and that includes Gov.
Paul V. McNutt-is going TO talk
Pleas Greenlee out Of running for
Governor. If Mr.. Greenlee chooses
to run.
This was made plain today by Mr..
Greenlee when ne reafirmed his
loyalty 10 Gov. McNutt, but in the
same breath observed that his soul
is his own and is not for sale"
The state patronage Secretary's
remarks were prompted by repeated
rlImors that various key men IN the
McNutt faction of the Democratic
party have about prevailed uDon
him 10 relinqUish whatever political
ambitions he may have.
Nothing to IT," Says Pleas
The diminution in ne speaking
campaign Mr.. Greenlee has been
conducting has been construed in
some quarters as indicative that the
arguments Of various other McNutt
leaders have carried weight
II is no secret that several of
them have tried to convince Mr.
Greenlee that even if he should be
successful in obtaining the nominal
ton. ne could not lead the party
ID victory in 1896.
Nothing to it." said Mr. Green
lee. Nothing to it at all
It's true I'm not speaking so
often these days. but it isn't because
! don't have plenty of chances.
There are plenty of letters on my
desk right now telling me that such
and such county wants to have a
GTeenlee meeting.
Too Hot for Meetings
The only reason the meetings
have slowed down is because it's
getting hotter and it's vacation
time
Mr.. Greenlee made it plain he
has not yet decided to ruin for
Governor. but at the same time
indicated he is doing more than
toying with the idea.
III tell YOU this" he said. You've
heard of fellows announcing for this
or that Office with an outburst of
hokum about his friends having
prevailed upon him TO offer himself?
Well it won't be like that with
me. if I decide to run. If I an
nounce for Governor, 1t will be be-
cause Pleas Greenlee wants to run
for Governor"
He Answers One Question.
It was suggested TO Mr.. Greenlee
that. while the attitude of his fell
low leaders in the administration is
important. that the real determining
factor IN his political future is Gov.
McNutt.
Listen" said Mr.. Greelee. Il
owe Paul MCNutt loyalty. I've given
it to him. and I'll continue to give
it to him, but nobody owns my soul,
and it's not for sale"
Two questions have been perpleX-
ing politicians and observers. One.
what will Gov McNutts attitude be
when the time comes to select a
nominee, and two, what will Mr.
Greenlee do if the Governor de-
cides the Greenlee candidacy would
be bad political strategy?
Mr.. Greenlee has answered one of
them.
