NOTES OF A NEWsPAPERAAAN
 Letter to Woodrow Wilson from Franklin ID. Roosevelt: My dear Nr. President: I entirely forgot on Sunday evening to speak to you of personal matter which might cone up during my absence the ques- tion of my nomination for the Governorship of New York. have tried in every way to stop 1t, but some of your friends and mine have talked of the possibility of forcing this while am away, and of ask ing you to encourage me to accept tt.
 T sincerely hope the matter will not come up. have made my posi- tion entirely clear that my duty lies in my present work-not only my duty to you and the country, but my duty to myself. If were at any time to leave the Assistant Secretaryship it could only be for active service.
 Furthermore, may say that ] am very certain that it would be a grave mistake for either you or any member of the Administration to ask that give up war work for what is frankly very much of a political job in these times. l can- not accept such a nomination at this time with honesty or honor to myself. I think have put off all danger of it, but in case you are appealed to, I want you to know what I Iceland know too that you will not listen to the ap- peal"
 Regardless of what you have heard and read, FDR never wanted 8 3rd Term A few months before his 2nd Term was about to end, Mrs. Roosevelt invited kin of Ed Flynn to spend a night in the White House. She especially wanted their two tots to sleep there "so that they never will forget thet hr1ll of it" :. Considering the people (we do not really know) who have been here," she said in effect, T want the children to be with us for a highland this positively is their very, very last chance!"
 After press conference in his White TouSe office reporter told the President of a story that had come in the mail. Did he mind its publication? "It was at the Gridiron Dinner" said FDR. You d better clear it with some of the boys who were there" A famed Re- publican Senator, it appears, was teasing FDR about his lucky h. augural suit" "If you run fol third term" heckled the senator let me borrow that suit, and I'll run against you and win!' FDR told him he couldn't let hin; borrow his lucky" suit Because may need it myself!"
 You mean," was the retort, "that you ARE going to run again?'
 T mean," said MT. Roosevelt wearily, that I may need it my. self. do not consider it my In augural suit. It is my funeral suit
 Another of the favorite FDE stogies deals with the White House visitor who remarked: MT. Presi. cent, how in the world did you ac. QuiHe such patience-with all thu bores you meet in a day?"
