' Bear Cabott: t About the vicepresidency: It seems * to me that the chance of my being a J “residential candidate is too small to S warrant very serious consideration at present. To have been a good colo nel, a good gov ernor and a good assistant secre tary of the navy is not enough to last four years. If McKinley were a to die tomorrow I would be one of the men seriously considered as his successo r— I mean that and just no more. J But four years hence the Span f Ish war will be in j the very'remote past, and what T I have done as governor will not be \ very recent. Nobody can tell who j will be up ®y that time. Of course, I S should like to feel that I would still [ be in the running, but I do not re « gard it as sufficiently probable to ‘ be worth receiving very much ; weight. | There therefore remains the ques * tlon of what each office is by itself. 1 The vice-presidency is a most honor j able office, but for a young man Sthore is not much to do. It is infi nitely hotter than many other posi JAmi- but it hardly seems to me as good as being governor of this state, WgJlch is a pretty important state. ^ "then, while it is very unjikely that I could be president, there is a qfianoe of my being something else— governor general of the Philippines, <S» a cabinet officer, or perchance in tjjje remote future, senator. Mind you, AlttUJo not think that any of these g* things are likely, but at least there ; it. sufficient chance to warrant my jiv taking them seriously, while I do not “ tWnk the chance for the presidency Jl m sufficient to warrant our taking T jj-eerlously. If I am vice-president I * tail • planted” for four years. Here I 1 gA« turn around. Platt told me defi ' z Stely that, of course, he was for me « i for a renomination—that everybody ” was—-and though we shall have a E-i gocif deal of friction from time to *5 - time, I do not believe It very likely J-that he will come To' a deffTiTfe break K* with me, because I like him per — sonally, I always tell him the truth, |T’ ami I genuinely endeavor to help y.;;him, if I Ofcn, with proper regard for interest of the state and party. S J The upshot of it is that it seems 53to" mo that I had better stay where I y -am. The great argument on the other §h" side is, as I have said before, your jifdgment, which on the whole I have Z'"found better than my own. Some of .fittfe western men are wild to .have me go- on to strengthen the ticket, but it "t* scarcely seems to me that the ticket iff' needs strengthening. Root would be au admirable man. ;.V Give rrly best love to Nannie. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. (Washington, D. C .) Dec. 13, 1899. Personal My Dear Theodore: Beveridge* is a very bright fellow, t'ij well informed and sound in his views, jgj I like him very much, but he arrived here with a very imperfect idea of 3s the rights of seniority In the senate, *2 and with a large idea of what he 3 ought to have. He expected to get »*•- the chairmanship of the Philippine j'!"f committee, which is going to he one ; V °f the biggest committees in the sen fate, and which they have forced me 1 t« take much against my will, for 1 sacrifice a great deal of persona IS cqmfort to do It, and he wanted in pi, addition a place on foreign relations SC. I thought I was unusually lucky tc :, get on foreign relations after I had ,j heen four years in the senate, during 15 which time I wae not on any com ;& rnlttee that ever met. We have had fy many applications for the one va if” cancy on foreign relations, and it hai r gone to Wolcott, who had the longest ,• service. The commutes put Beveridgt r ‘ on the committee on the Phlltppinei }■>' -“which I think he Is fortunate t( I”, get and where I think he ought to be ; Personally I am very glad to havt ! him there. j The rice-presidency I consider i 1 settled question since you feel as yot , do, though I do not take the earn' f? view of your prospects that you do ■ j hut If Root goes on to the ticket 1 \ leaves a vacancy in the cablne which would Just suit you, and 1: fir better for you than the vice-presl " dency would ba If I were you *; would keep on the lookout and I thin’ V' there would be a fair opportunity o getting It. Ton hate stood aside for McKinley, and were wise in doing so I think, and you will also stand aside for Hoot, and I do not see why these actions should not have due credit given to them. Meantime, as you say, you are very well where you are, despite the many perils that sur round the governorship of New York, and there is always the change that there may come an opening In the senate. There Is nothing that I can do at this moment to forward your Interests since you decide not to take the vice-presidency, but I am always here on the lookout, as you well know. Give my best love to Edith. H. C. LODGE •Albert J, Beveridge, then the new tT It Senator from Indiana. Governor Roose velt had suggested to Senator bodge that Beveridge would he a good man for the senate foreign relations committee. EXECUTIVE CHAMBER ALBANY Dec. 14, 1899. Dear Cabot: Many thanks'for yours of the 13th. Of all things, I should like to be secretary of war, If Root should de cide to take the vice-presidency. What an awful time the English are having in the ’Kransvaal. I should think they would feel pretty melan choly. ' T. R. Hon. H. C. Lodge, Senate Chamber. Washington, D. C. , EXECUTIVE CHAMBER, . ALBANY Dec. 19, 1899. Dear Cabot: I had a lonk talk with Platt and Odell* yesterday. In the first place, we have come to a very satisfactory agreement In state matters. I mean satisfactory in view of the extraordi nary complications of our New York politics, the wide divergency of inter ests and the endless trouble produced by the corruptionists on the one hand, and the vain, self-seeking and visionary reformers on the other. As to the vice presidency, Platt told me that you and Chandler** wanted me nominated; that some of the far western senators wanted me because they thought I would strengthen the ticket in their states: but that the general opinion was that It would not be a wise move for me personally, as I should be simply shelved as vice president and could do nothing, for If I did anything I would attract suspicion and antagon ism. Lucius Llttauer*** had been ex amining me about the vice presi dency, telling me that all the western congressmen who spoke of me and who professed much friendship for me were against my taking the nom ination for vice president for the reasons given above. All my western friends keep writing, m# to the rame offect. I do not think I have had a letter from any of them advising me to take the nomination for vlce-prest dent, and I have had scores urging me not to take it. Give my w-arm love to Nannie.

C.,) Dee. 29, 1899. Confidential . Dear Theodore: Plfttt told me that Root would notj be vice president because the presi dent wished him to remain In his cab inet. Yesterday I heard, practically at first hand from the White House, that it was substantially agreed that Root was to be vice president. After such contradictions I am not sur prised that Platt said nothing much to you about the vice presidency, but advised you to take it. He certainly gave me to understand that his views were tending in the other di rection. Under these circumstances I do not know what to say. Of course, if Root is to have the vice presidency that would open a much better place for you if we could bring it about, of which I would not despair. I will talk further with Platt when he comes back. Always yours, H. C. LODGE. Hon. Theodore Roosevelt.

Hon. IE C. Lodge, Senate Chamber, Washington, D. C. My Dear Cabot; I hasten to write yoil because of a ' most unexpected bit of information. I find that after Platt's return from Washington he did tell a couple of New York politicians that I would undoubtedly have to accept the vice presidency; that events were shaping themselves so that this was inevita ble, He gave me no hint of this, tak ing exactly the opposite view, and I do not understand what was up, or for the matter of that what Is up now, but I send you this for your own private Information. Always yours. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. (When the foUiewinir letter wee written Senator Platt had at laat told Gover nor Roosevelt of his (Platt's) wish to have Roosevelt run for the vice presi dency.

Dear Cabot: As you know, the thing I should really like to do would be to 'be the first civil governor general of the Philippines. I believe I could do that job, and It Is a job emphatically worth doing. i feel that being vice president would rut me off definitely from all chances of do ing it; whereas in my second term as governor, were I offered the Phil ippines, I could resign and accept It. I am getting so anxious to see you that I do not know but I will have to run down. On the other hand, it does not seem possible for me to get away. I am having (t very ugly and uncomfort able time over Payn. It was wholly impossible for me to take any other course save what I did. Like the pop ulation of Poker Flat, I only venture to draw the line against individuals whose Immorality is professional, But in Mr. Payn's case it is profes sional.

In a civilized community, Mr. Payn svoulfl not be kept In for a moment, and I do not know a single decent republican who favors his being kept. But the machine is afraid of him and lares not take sides. They did not think I had any chance of winning against him, but I have • now come very close. The democrats will be al most unanimous against me, of course, but I have at least two-thirds of the republican senators, and un less the opposition bolt the caucus ;which of course, they will do If paid sufficiently high) I will win.
