SENATOR PLATT ON ROOSEVELT.
ST. Augustine Record: President
Roosevelt will be a candidate to sue
coed himself. He will have the unani-
nous support of the New York deIega-
ton. + do not think that there is aRy
doubt of his denomination. While l be-
leve he will be reelected, do not
count on the electoral vote of any
Southern state. AS to my own candi-
dacy for reelection to the Senate, it
will depend largely upon the state of
my health. If 1 conclude to stand for
reelection, 1 am confident that l will
have no opposition" The above terse
and unequivocal expression of opinion
and belief fell from the lips of Sena-
tor Platt as he sat in a sunny corner
of his apartment in the Alcazar and
cOnversed with a representative of the
Record. When asked regarding the
coming presidential election, he said:
IIeSlueHt INOOSeNelI Will De canal
date for reelection. l know of no OPP
position sufficient to cause him any
anxiety regarding his probable renom-
nation. He will go into the convention
with solid delegation from the state
of New York. OF that there is no
doubt. While I believe that he will be
reelected l do not anticipate any cleo
toral votes to be cast for him in the
Southern states. l am convinced that
there are a great many Southern men
who have heretofore affiliated with the
Democratic party who have a great re-
spect for our Republican President and
whose convictions on the general policy
of the Republican party is that it ac-.
cords with their sentiments. Many of
these may openly support the Republi-
can candidate at the next election, but
/ do not believe there are enough who
will come out and support the ticket to
affect the result in any of the Southern
states.''
