Theodore Roosevelt, tho newl,
elected Vice President Of the United
States, is not onl ly ono Of tho most
unique and interesting characters in
tho Republican party, but he is actu,
ally ono Of tho most remarkable
Amorlcans of tho day. And, leaving
his political opinions entirely out CT
tho question, he is even moro inter.

nlost men with ample inherited
fortunes, gentle birth and collegiate
education content themselves with
tho pleasure Of quiet lives and pur
suo whatovcr fad or fancy may inter-
est them in tho society Of their equals.

study the question Of government
that arise from day to day. Ho also
holds that no man who is unwilling
to fight for his rights is entitled to
enjoy thom. Governor Roosevelt is
unique in the fact that ho represents
and comprehends tho feelings of tho
South, tho North and the West.

Miss Bulloch Of Savannah. and her
marriage Of the Governors father

much from his Southern as from his
northern ancestors. IIo is likewise
