Y., April u. Colonel Koosevelt s hat is in the ring. There is no longer any doubt of that. He announced the Terms under which he would be the Republican candidate for President in talking to a political caller who expects to be a delegate to the Republican national convention. This visitor was a man from a nearby state, who came to Sagamore Hill, saying that he expected to .be a candidate for Congress as well as a delegate to the G. O. P.- convention. Then. In hopes of the colonel's support of his congressional candidacy, the optimistic pilgrim added, "You know, colonel, I may make up, my mind that we'll have to nominate you." Defends Ills Position. "Well," began the colonel, pausing a moment to gather his strength before letting loose, "now let me give you a piece of advice. If you have any doubts on the subject, don't nominate me. "Get it perfectly clear In your head that If you nominate me it must not be because you think It Is in my Interest, but because you think It Is. In your Interest and the interest , of the Republican party, and because you think it is in the interest of the United State to do so. "And more than that, don't you do It If you expect me to put my foot on any single issue I have raised. Don't be for me unless you are prepared to say that every citizen of tills country has got to be States, first, last and all the time, and not else at all, and that we stand for every good American everywhere, whatever his birthplace or creed and wherever he now lives, and that in return we demand that he be an American and nothing else, vlth no hyphen about him.

"Every American citizen must be for America first and for no other country even pecond, and he hasn't any right to-In the United States at all If he has any divided loyalty between this country and any other. "I don't care a rap for the man's creed or birthplace or nationality so long as he Is straight United States. "I am for him if he is straight United tates and if he Isn't I am him and don't you nominate against me unless you are prepared to take the position that Uncle Sam is to be strong enough to defend his rights and to defend every one of his people, wherever these people are, and he can't be strong enough- unless he prepares in advance. "I am not for war. On the contrary, I abhor an unjust or a wanton war, and I would use every honorable expedient to avoid even a just war. But I feel with all my heart that you don't In the long run avoid war by making other people believe that you're afraid to fight for your own rights." From the middle west, where the colonel's advisers feared that all desire for preparedness and Rooseveltism lay decidedly dormant, came reports today to the contrary. John C. Shaffer, the editor of a chain of newspapers Jn Chicago. Indianapolis, Louisville, Denver, Terre Haute and Muncie, brought these reports.
