PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
AND THE THIRD TfRM
The Notion That is Crystalizine in the
Minds of Some of the Cyncs.

Washington. Nov. l1.-(Snec!al Cor
ical Washington is becoming more
thoroughly convinced every day that
President Roosevelt's candidate for
1908 Is none other than Theodore
Roosevelt. Within the past week he
sent word to his friends and supporters
throughout the country that it is his
wish that the delegates elected from
their respective states TO the next re-
publican national convention shall be
men who can be relied upon to support
his policies and who will cast their
votes for the candidate VINO at the
time seems best equipped to carry
those policies forward.
This report is no idle rumor. Inquiry
OF the recognized Roosevelt third-term
supporters in every state will confirm
its truth. II is known here that the
president personally has taken hold
Of the political situation. and that from
now on he will make things hum. 1t
appears certain hat he is despairing
% the Taft candidacy. A year ago Mr..
Roosevelt started the Taft boom. He
let il be known that the secretary of
war above all others was his first
choice for the succession. At that time
he meant what he said. He then
thought that the nomination OF Judge
Taft would be easy of accomplishment.
Even at so late a date as wnen he sent
his secretary of war on a Jaunt around
the world, first to start the new Phil
ippines government off right and then
to proceed to the courst OF Europe Il
confer with the crowned heads. the
president felt confident OF his ability
to name the Ohioan as his successor
But something strangely has happened
to the Taft boom. II is not rolling viii
that noise and roar that Mr.. Roosevelt
had expected. Hence it behooves the
occupant of the White House not only
to inquire into the causes of the threat
ened collapse of the Taft movement
Arizona republican. [volume] (Phoenix, Ariz.) 1890-1930, 1907-11-16

refused to share with the president the
credit of the exposures made in the
Metropolitan Street Railway investiga-
ton in the metropolis. 1t is known
here that the president made earnest
efforts to learn what Governor Hughes
program was after the cremation of
the public utilities commission in New
York and failed. Had the governor
taken the president itno his confidence
Mr. Roosevelt could have given out
hints to the country OF what was COM
ing and thus have received the lions
share of the credit for the WORK what
is being done by Governor Hughes
public utilities commission.
