Yes, several delegates to the convention have men- tioned the subject and inquired of me if 1 would accept, but I told them that I | was not a candidate and would not under | any circumstances agree to run. My business affairs render it impossible for me to engage in politics at this time.” When it was suggested to Mr. Russ that Zenas U. Dodge desired to bring him for- ward as a candidate, the former said: “Mr. Dodge did not speak to me on the subject.” The question was asked: “Did Henry T. Scott suggest your acceptance of the nomination?” To this inquiry iir. Russ replied: “Yes, Mr. Scott spoke to me, suggesting that 1 should be a candi- date, but I told him that I could not take the time from my business which the duties of the office would demand. I feel extremely grateful for the newspaper and personal comment, but my acceptance of any political office this year is out of the question.” At the Democratic fountain of inspira- tion the assertion is made in a_positive manner that the Republican “dark horse” QOKS IN THREE HINUTES was trotted out in the person of Mr. 3 Rits, "but at the headquatiers of the | ek FREE |« Republican League the story is told that | : the real “dark horse” is young in vears and full of spirit and go.
