The Presidential Office.

Many interesting facts are connected
with Theodore Roosevelt and the pres
idency. Twenty-Five men have filled the
presidential office; and of these eight
presidents have been elected to a second
term while filling the first. Mr.. Cleve-
land was a private citizen when he was
elected in 1892, hence does not come
within the list of those reelected. No
man who has filled the office of vice
president has been elected to the highest
place since Van Buren,. Since Jackson's
time, only three presidents have been re-
elected-Lincoln, Grant and Mckinley:
and only one, Grant, has served two full
successive terms. If Mr., Roosevelt shall be
elected this fall. he win be the first vice
president to succeed to the first office
after filling out the uneXpired term of
dead president; he will be the first man
ever elected by the Republican party
from east of the Allegheny mountains
and he will overturn a rule unbroken
since 1886. II he shall be defeated he
will become an eX-president, a younger
man than General Grant was when he
entered upon his duties as president the
youngest man ever elected to that office,
at the age of As years.

Special to Times Republican.
Sioux City. March 1s.-Subjects of
the ear of Russia residing in and
around Sioux City are not going to
take any chances of being drafted into
the service of their native country in
the war against Japan.
The records of naturalization of for
eign born citizens kept in the office of
the clerk of the district court show that
since the Russo -Japenese war broke
out some two months ago an unusual
number Of natives of the land of
Nicholas II. have secured their first
and second citizenship papers, making
them recognized subjects of Uncle
Sam.
The stories which have been circu-
later over the country TO the effect that
an effort was being made to induce
subjects of the ear in this country to
return to the land of their birth and
take up arms in her defense do not
strike the average Russian in this vi
cinity very favorably. Fears of being
drafted into the service of the Russian
army and made to enter the fight have
led many of them to make inquiry at
the office of the clerk of the courts re-
garding their naturalization, and most
of them have taken advantage of the
opportunity to renounce allegiance and
fidelity to the ear and take the oath of
an American citizen.
