Roosevelt Returns Ready To Go Again.

New York Times 100 years ago today, October 3, 1912:
Home None the Worse for 11,000-Mile Campaign, and Won't Stop to Rest if Called.
HERE TO-DAY TO CONFER
Then Off to Washington the Next Day to Testify In Answer to Archbold and Others.
    OYSTER BAY, Oct. 2.— Col. Roosevelt got back yesterday from his 11,000-mile campaign tour, apparently little the worse for wear, and all ready, he said, to start in again after a few hours' rest. His train arrived at the Pennsylvania Station, New York, at 4 o'clock, and the Colonel found an enthusiastic little band of Progressive leaders awaiting him. He shook hands with them, and laughed at the report that his voice was giving out, posed a dozen times for the photographers, and then, with a last hearty good-bye, jumped into his automobile to greet Mrs. Roosevelt and his daughter, Miss Ethel, and was off for Oyster Bay.
    The Colonel was in the highest spirits as a result of the big receptions that he received everywhere on his trip, and while he refused to make any predictions, he showed that he was greatly encouraged. He let it be known, too, that, while he would like to get a short rest, he would be ready to start out immediately on a two weeks' campaign of the Middle West if his managers insisted upon his doing so. That subject is going to be talked over at a private conference of the Progressive leaders in New York at which the Colonel is to be present.
    One of the first things Col. Roosevelt inquired about after his arrival in New York was the progress being made by Oscar S. Straus, nominee of the Progressives for Governor. Mr. Hotchkiss informed Col. Roosevelt that there was every prospect of the success of Mr. Straus, who was off on a campaign tour doing what he could to help carry the Bull Moose ticket to victory.
    "That's bully," retorted the Colonel. "I'm glad to hear that."
    Col. Roosevelt announced that he would see no one to-night. He was urged by Chairman Hotchkiss to meet with the Progressive leaders at dinner to-morrow evening. As his automobile was leaving the station he called out to Hotchkiss "Well, I'll see you all to-morrow, I'll expect to see you then."
    At the conference will be George W. Perkins, Frank A. Munsey, Senator Dixon, Mr. Hotchkiss, Col. Cecil Lyon, of Texas, ex-Senator Flinn of Pennsylvania, and a few other leaders. Col. Roosevelt will go over carefully with them the testimony which has already been given before the Senate Sub-Committee investigating campaign contributions, before which he will give evidence on Friday. He will leave for Washington on the midnight train over the Pennsylvania lines. Col. Roosevelt had no comment to make to-day upon the testimony given by his campaign manager, Senator Dixon, before the committee, but it is understood that he has gone over it carefully. He is going to Washington, he has said, ready to tell the committee anything that he knows, and he is going to follow up what Senator Dixon had to say and demand that "the committee lay its cards on the table."
    After John D. Archbold testified and was allowed to go, Col. Roosevelt remarked that the investigation looked to him like a "frame-up." He is going to demand that the other parties to the controversy be investigated without any further delay. He was asked to-day if he would say anything about the testimony of George R. Sheldon, Treasurer of the Republican National Committee, but he refused to discuss it, saying that he would make no statement before he testified.
    On the last leg of his trip, Col. Roosevelt remained in his stateroom. As the train passed through Washington he shook his campaign hat at a crowd of about fifty supporters who gave him a hearty cheer. At Rahway, N.J., the Colonel was joined on the train by Henry H. Howland and Ernest Abbott of The Outlook office.
    The Colonel willingly posed for the camera men. "Let her go, fire—" he exclaimed, as they leveled their cameras at him.
