Heretofore the colonel has declined
to be Interview ed while at Sugumoro

trance Into the ' campaign by lifting
the embargo lie was perfectly will-'
lug to talk but said there was nothing

gathered was that he was going to do
some plain talking before the fight
ends.
Colonel Itoosevelt. pressed for nn
uililliSSltill of OPUion concerning tho
statement given out last night by
Benator Dixon in which President

sharply said he had not read the sen- j
ator'S statement. He had heard how-
i v er. that the coercion of federal of- i
flee holders In the South was charged
and said that when he was president!
he had never used his influence with
office holders for his own advantage.
The Impression was general that
the lines of battle would bS drawn

tended to do everything In his pow.r

Colonel Itoosevelt said he expected
to spend the next fortnight largely at
Sagamore Hill. His movements arter
that will depend upon how the cam-
paigfl shapes itself. It Is Colonel

The excise tax so called by tho
ways and means committee Is in ef-
fect an income tax Tho bill is so
drawn that it is expected to comply
With the supremo court's decision
against the constitutionality Of an in-
come tax. Its effect would be to tax
every person who earns more than
$5000 a year or In excess of $5000
at tho rate of ono per cent.
The estimate of Chairman Cndcr-

between $50000000 and $60000000

The secret that members of the

was the provision to extend the cor-
