Roosevelt Savs Hes Too Poor for Yiee Presidency * Lodge Tdl* Colonel TIis Can didacy I* Inevitable, But T. R. Fails to Agree. Coin right, 195,1. (Washington, D. C.), Jan. 5, 1900. Personal My Dear Theodore: I am going lo hare a talk with the president and a very frank talk as soon as possible about both the vice presidency and the Philippines. You know the direction in which I should Ilk# to sea you go, but If you want to go to the Philippines, my one de sire Is that you should have what you w-atlt. I have great faith in your own Instinct as to what you prefer, and there Is no question that there Is great work to he done In the Islands, al though I should rather see you take the chance of something bigger at home. X am inclined to think that the vie# presidency would he an open road In either direction, hut I can tell you more after I have talked with the president. I heard In a curious way the other day that the president in tended to send you as governor-gen eral of the Philippines, but that you knew nothing about it. Always yours, IT. C. LODGE •Tan. 7, 1900. Private and Confidential Dear Theodore: I had yesterday afiernoon a long talk with the president. I asked him point blank whether he was thinking of sending you ns governor general of the Philippines. He said not at pres ent; that when civil government was established there under act of con gress. or otherwise, and a governor general was authorized, he thought that you were the Ideal man to lie the first pioneer governor In those Island*, that th^re wai no one whom he thought so well fitted for that great work, but that the war was still going on, and that he did not think It wise at present to divide the military and civil power, that It would not be fair to you to send you out there as civil governor until the situation had altered and the civil governor could have control in every thing. The force of this I, of rourse, saw' myself and admiited; in fact, 1 have not believed from all I could learn that it was wise at present to appoint i civil governor. It will come along, however, before very long, and I can not see w hy the vice presidency .would not be ns good a bridge as any other. I talked with him also about the vice presidency. He is evidently per fectly content to have you on the ticket with him, and realizes that if your name is brought forward you would be nominated with a rush. I think now I know the whole situation, and that you do, too. I am clear in the opinion that the time has come when you should make up your mind whether to refuse to be a candidate for vice president and run again for governor of New York, or let your name be brought forward for the sec ond place op the national ticket and remain quiescent In regard to it— which, of course, would be taken as a willingness to accept it—is all that would be necessary, in my opinion. 1 wish you would write me what course you deside to follow. I am not going to tirjjr you one way or the other, but I think the trend of events is steadily making your acceptance more desirable. You have, however, better means of knowing than I, and 1 have great confidence in your in stinot in the matter. If you do not take the vice presidency, New York will have lost it. This, Platt does not want to have happen, and the attitude of thp organization, which has now come around to desire you to take it, is something to be considered. I should say you had won very hand somely in thp Payn rase, and your canal report Is evidently a great suc cess. Nevertheless. I think the vice presidency the better road to the fu lure, ns well as the safer one. Always yours. II. r. LODGE. Hon. Theodore Roosevelt. (A* th# national convention time ap proach ed. In 190ft Roosevelt continued in a quandary about the* vice presidential opportunity Senator Thomas r Platt, as has been shown, was trying bird to per suade him t-* .stand for the nomination, and tt« corporations were behind Plait, p.s thev wanted to ret rid of the hostile envernor. An element of uncertainty v\as injected into the situation hv th* fa* t that Lieutenant Governor Timothv L. Woodruff seemed to have “sewed up’’ the New York delegation. Woodruff wanted to be vice president. He had considerable political ability and popularity, but was regarded ns something of a Joke by the ■ rioiis -minded. I.odRe. consistently urged V It to run. but th*- governor wrote to him on Februarv 2 that he had decided ar.alnst and asUed forgiveness for not tak ing his friend's advice.) STATE OF NEW YORK EXECUTIVE CHAMBER Albany, Jan. 30, 1300. Senator H. C. Lodge, Washington, D. C. Dear Cabot: I have Just received your letter and It ha* given me much food for thought. I shall have to see Senator Platt be Ifors I can aay anything. There 1* an amualng, new complication In the fart that Woodruff may have already got ten all the dele gate# from New York, no that Platt rannot get them away from him, In which case Platt will B certainly not want 51 metoatand. If"! Moreover, M If Woodruff 1* to he tha governor, that may again cause a grave question whether I ought to stand, as It I* by no meana certain that he could carry th# state. Woodruff I* a most good humored, friendly fellow, wild to have me nominate him for vice president, which I suppose for my alms I might have to do (not If I can help It I. and he Is amusingly and absolutely cer tain that nothing can prevent his nomination. He Is a great worker, and he has had rather a remarkable success In getting nominations and handling the machine here, and he Is absolutely confident that he can get the vice presidency. He had a long and frank talk with me the other day, though I told him I could not speak as frankly In return. He ex plained that he did not want the gov ernorship; that he had seen Black cut hi* own throat from ear to ear, and seen me keep the machine from cutting Its throat (and mine too) by main force, and at the constant peril of a break which would have been Just a* fatal and which rould only be averted by the Incessant exercise of resolution and sleepless Judgment; and that he did very murh want the vice presidency, chiefly because he had plenty of money and could entertain, and he knew he could act as pre siding officer of the senate. The money question la a serious one with me. As you know, my means are very moderate, and as my children have grown up and their education haa become more and more a matter of pressing Importance, I have felt a very keen regret that I did not have some money making occupation, for 1 am never certain when It ntav become necessary for me lo try to sell Saga more and completely alter ray whole style of lift. A* governor, I atn com paratlvely well paid, having nnt only a salary hut a. house which Is prar tlcally kept up during the winter, and thanks to the fact that the idiots of the magazines now wish 1o pay me very large prices for willing, on ac count of my temporary notoriety, I was enabled to save handsomely last year and will lie enabled to do bo again this year. Not Financially Qualified. But great pressure would come upon me If 1 went. In as vice president. I could only live simply. Of course, I could not begin lo entertain ns Morton and Hobart have; and even to live simply ns a vice president would have to live would he a aerloua drain upon me, and would cause me continual anxiety about money. If the place held out a chance of doing really good work, T should not mind this, for I must try to carry out my schema of life, and as 1 am not to leave the chll <y-eh money, I am In honor hound to leave them a record of honorable achievement; hut of course the chance for a vice president to do much of anything Is Infinitesimal. T suppose I should have leisure to taka up my his torlcal work again, hut that I* about all. If the vice presidency led to the governor generalship of the Philip pines, then the question would he en tlrelv altered, hilt 1 hove n very nn comfortable feeling that thera will he a strong allhough entirely unreason able feeling against my resigning. Of course, there should not he. as the succession Is arranged in ths secre taryship of state. I am extremely pleased at the con versation you report with the presi dent. It is quite needless to say that I absolutely agree with the theory that until the war is over, we want to have the military authority not merely supreme but alone. It would never do to have a divided authority, and it would not be worth while for a really good man to go out there with divided authority. In public life It seems to me that the blue ribbon part is (if very small value. The point is to get hold of some job really worth doing and then do it well. The governor generalship of the Philip pines, especially the first generalship would be exactly such a piece of work. I should approach It with very serious sense, not only of its Im portance. but of Its difficulty: but as far as I can see among those who are likely to be considered as randt dates, I would be quite as apt to do as w-ell as any. As soon as I can. 1 will see Senator Platt and then will let you know. It would be idle for me to thank you, old man. As I have said before. If T began to thank you I should have to take up so much time that there would he very little time left for anything else'You are the only man whom, In all my life, I have met who has repeatedly and in every way done for me what I rould not do for myself, and what nobody else eould do. and done It in a way that merely makes me glad to he under the obligation to you. I have never been able to do, and nover shall be able to do, anything in return, I suppose; but that Is part of the irony As for the Payn matter, seeming ly I have won out; by dint of com of life in this world, bining infexible determination with extreme good nature, and resolutely refusing the advice of Godkin.
