'You are authorized to state that I will
not again be a candidate for the office of
president of the United States. There are
no strings on this statement. I mean it.
"I made my speech at Denver for the
purpose of convincing the people of my
earnestness In regard to the matter of
railroad legislation. I will not be satisfied
with any compromise that does not bring
relief to the people from the conditions
that now exist In regard to transportation
affairs In this country. No compromise
bill from congress will be accepted."
This Is President Roosevelt's reply to a
representative of The Bee on his special
train as It Journeyed across Nebraska.
Published statements to the effect that
the president would be forced to accept a
renomlnatlon by the people, who would be
aroused to that pitch by the failure of
the congress to enact remedial legislation,
was shown him. Ho expressed himself
most emphatically that he was not to be
swayed from his determination by any ad
vances that might be made him, no matter
In what disguise they came.
Emphatic In Ills Stand.
President Roottevelt said that he made
his speech at Denver to make It certain
to the people that he would stand for no
compromise legislation and that there will
be no law enacted which will tend to make
the people think that they have won a
victory when in reality there Is only minor
legislation, such as bills to regulate pri
vate cars, private sidetracks or terminal
lines, or bills providing means for more
expeditious hearing of rate cases In the
federal courts. The president says that
he will not accept any measure of legis
lation that does not give relief to the peo
ple, and that he will exert his Influence
to get through congress legislation to en
large the powers of the Interstate Com-
rr.ercs commission and to protect the coun
try from unjust exactions and abuses, and
at the same time doing nothing that could
be Injurious to a railroad when honestly
and fairly managed. '
He alluded to the Insinuation that the
fight now waging Is likely to result In his
' being continued In office for another term,
He said he wanted It understood that there
are no strings to his statement that he
will not consider another term, and thfit
under no condition will he accept the nom
1 nation and stand for election for another
term at the White House.
He expressed himself as greatly pleased
with his whole trip, and dressed In a busl
pess suit did not look as tanned as one
would expect. "Skip," the bear dog. was In

president was continually stroking and pet

bers of the party.
The receptions given him all through the
south were the subject of comment from
the president, and he said that It was gratl
tying to him to receive such receptions and
also to see the progress which the south Is
making. ''
Hundreds Disappointed at Omaha
Hundreds of people were disappointed last
night when, after going to the Union sta
tion to see the president, they learned to
their sorrow that the Itnerary had been
changed and the presidential train had been
t irned aver to the Northwestern at Ames
The officials of the Union Pacific said that
the president had made no arrangement to
top or speak at Omaha or Council Bluffs,
and that It was found that better time
cfould be made by running the train across
the river at Blair to Missouri Valley and
not to come through Omaha.
The change was decided upon late yeater-
day afternoon and the private car of Vlre
President MrCullough of the Northwestern
with Mr. McCullough and General Manage
Gardner aboard, was switched to the Web
tar street depot and sent to Fremont ove
the Northwestern.
The crowd, which filled the depot and
crowded the viaduct, refused to believe the
police when told that the president would
not come through, and not until the Union
Pacific pilot train pulled Into tho depot and
Bill Canada Jumped off and In a loud voice
told them that the president would not be
through would they depart for home.
On the pilot train were Chancellor An
drews, EdHon Rich, Treasurer Ernst of the
Burlington and Mr. Duln, who had been at
tending a meeting of the regfnts of the
University of Nebraska at Lexington; Vice
President Mohler of the Union Pacific,
Senator Burkett, E. Rosewater and Super
intendent Ware.
In spite of the rain large crowds as
sembled at all stations this side of Grand

greeting at all points.
