Statements recently made that the for- mer president would take such action are declared to be without foundation. “That such a proposition has been made to Colonel Roosevelt is not denied. It is stated that the majority of the | administration nomination campaign managers in making use of the ‘steam | roller’ caused several admirers of onel Roosevelt to fear the Chicago convention would be ‘packed,’ and that the popular will of the people would find no expression there. In this event it was asserted it would be well to give the people a chance to express their sentiments at the polls, an_independent party being formed to e Colonel Roosevelt's name before them. “From an authoritative source it was learned today that C'olonel Roose- velt did not loc ipon the proposition with favor, and in effect stated that such a proceeding was out of the ques- tion.” TEDDY IN HAPPY VEIN.
