NEW YORK. March 9. Colonet
Theodore Rooeevelt. who in now at

statement Riven out today, through
the Now York Evening Mall, em
phatically declines to be a candidate
In the primaries of Massachusetts or

"I wiil not enter into any fight
for the nomination," the colonel
says. "and'I will not permit any fac

pay that it would be a mistake to
nominate me, unless the country has
l:i its mood something of the heroic;

Lincoln.
Whether ws do cr do not accomplish
this feat will largely depond upon ths
action taken at th republican and pro

Nothing Is to be hoped from the present
administration. All that fhejr offer
us Is a choice between degrees of hypoo
rly and degrees of Infamy. But disgust
with the unmanly failure of ths proaent
administration, I believe does not and I
know ought not to mean that the Amer-It-sn
people will vote In a spirit of mere
protest. They ouaht not to, and I be

Impossible too greatly to magnify the

'The men chosen to decide aurh a
question ought not to be politicians cf
average type and parochial outlook, mill
less should they be politicians controlled
by sinister Influences from within or

men that ean be found In our country,
whose one great mission should be to
declare In unequivocal terms for a pro

Americanism, In deeds not less then In

Warning Resolution
is Withdrawn by
Senator McCumber
WASHINGTON, March . Senator Mc
Cumber. republican of North Dakota, to
day withdrew his resolution to wain
American cltlxens off armed ships, stat
ing he thought that Americans had been
effectively warned and that the pendency
of his resolution might embarrass dip
lomatic negotiations.
"In view of the turn In our Intemt-
tlonsl affaire during the last twenty-four
hours," aald Senator McCumber, "I feel
that seagoing Americana have been as
effectively warned of their perils as
though either the McLemore or the Gore
reaolutlons had been adopted, and con
sidering new proposals tending tower 1
an amicable settlement of the questlond
In controversy, I feel that reopening of
the discussion might be embarrassing and
Improper.
'The resolution, which waa Introduced
at a time when the president was asking
for an expression of the sentiment of the
senate, should be withdrawn. As It &

subject. I msy Introduce It again should
the occasion demand, but I hope the con
