 Meeting of Interest. It will undoubtedly be the most inter esting meeting national committee hai held in many years. The Chairman of thC Committee. at the last meeting prelirhi. mary IO NHC COHtcUttOHs Ddu UO OIHcl thought in connection with the nomina. ton to be made by the coming conventi or than the choice of William Mex nley fol reelection and the naming of a suitable candidate for Vice-President. Theodore Roosevelt was not thought of for thC place. He was known to cherish burn. ing ambition to be President and was known to be utterly opposed to accepting a nomination for the second place on the ticket.
 Since the Committee last met the pres. idency has come to Roosevelt by the death of Mckinley. Ever since his accession tC the presidency MT. Roosevelt has laboret necessarily to obtain a nomination fol President. That has absorbed hIl thoughts and influenced his course Tn ev cry act.
 It Is a singular situation. to say tn, least. with which the Campaign Commit tee will have to deal. It is extremely doubtful if one-third of the members ot the Committee favors the nomination oi Mir. Roosevelt. It Is certain th7t a great ajority of the Republican politicians oi the country would like to see almost any other candidate named.
 Roosevelt as a Jol1ier. The trouble is that the uncaIculating masses of the party are for Roo%evelt.
  runnings around the country he has l 'l- lied them like a thoroughly good fellow and he has uttered sentiments that Ieed well. He has. too, the capacity for d's- play of decisive zeal which tends to allure the crowd which will quicker tolerate than dull inaction. Another phase of the situation which is profoundly interesting to students of poll itics as well as to thousands of Rep 'bli- cans who feel deeply concerned in the out come Is the attitude of Senator Hanna. The Chairman has had to encounter a tremendous pressure of partiality for hlm- self in connection with the nomination and notwithstanding the declarations of State conventions endors- ing Roosevelt and pledging him support Hanna has mad enough assurance to war- rant him. barring other adverse con-ider. ations, to undertake to get the nomina- ton. The same thing that he'd him ok months and months ago restroins hin now and will most likely deter him at the last chance from entering into any con. test for the presidency. It is his own ap- prehension ot his physical inability ia stand the strain. If he thought he co,IlI pull through a campaign without serious
