BUCHAREST, Roumania, March 3d.
COuriers tonight are speeding every
where throughout Roumania artusing
the peasants and working people in the
towns and cities to resist the troops
which are making such fierce attacks
on the rioters in the disturbed districts.
Every village and hamlet has its or
ganization directed by anarchists who
have started the uprising. and all are
working To one end-to infiame the peo-
pie against the government and the
troops which represent it.
While at first it appeared that the au-
thorities were getting the upper hand
through the vigorous repressive policy
adopted, it is now apparent that the
government has overdone itself. The
brutality Of the troops has acted as a
counterirritant Women and children
have been shot down as ruthlessly as
have been the men who opposed the
soldiers The troops seemed carried
away by a desire to kill.
Now the peasants are actuated by =

the government can put down the move

Practically 5000 votes have been

in The Sunday Times of two weeks
ago:
What shall Theodore Roosevelt

term of Officel
They have been collected by the
leading newspapers Of the country.
counted, and tabulated. And they
show:
An overwhelming majority in IA
vor of another term as President.
The total of the poll was 5,9s7
votes. OF that number 4.O26 came
from citizens who Thoughts it Theo-
dore Roosevelt's duty to continue az
the head of the National Government.
In other words. 6S per cent of the
newspaper readers who were inter
ested enough to make answer to the
query would have him reelected. in
spite of the fact that he has already
served more than four years.
Result of Washington's Vote.
In Washington the vote for another
term was larger than that for any other
occupation but it fell considerabI short
of a majority. Only 80 per cent Of those
who wrote from the District so voted
and the number which favored the
Presidents absolute retirement far ex-
ceeded that from the country at large
Here Is per cent would have him end
his public career with March 4. 1909
outside the District the percentage was
only 1.2s.
Next u continuing as President the
proposal that Theodore Roosevelt should
serve in Congress as a Representative
or Senator at large found most general
favor. The total vote was $50, or u per
cent Of the whole number cast In
Washington, it was only "a per cent.
The desire to have him supervise the
building Of the Isthmian Canal was ex-
pressed IN only a few less letters the
total being 694 votes, or not quite u
per cent. In this, Washington $1,000
just about as the country stood. its
Panama vote being 10 per cent of its
aggregate.
Some of the Suggestions.

readers voted largely for the callings,
