Letters were addressed to 500 editors,
covering the entire country. Sixty.
eight replies are published by the
Times in its Sunday issue, and only one
is at all inclined to be unfavorable to
the president. The editors are solidly
and enthusiastically for Roosevelt for a
third term, and, as far as they repre-
sent the voters of their party or can
crystalline their opinions, here we have
tine result. They go further than
merely saying SO for themselves and
for the republican party, of which they
are in some sense mouthpieces, and
claim that numerous democrats have
the Roosevelt feeling and will vote for
him ii nominated. Here is condition
that is developing throughout the coun-
try that may assume the proportions of
a Roosevelt tidal wave, possibly. In
the face OF great popular demand-o
even OF an almost universal party de-
mand--will President Roosevelt remem-
Der his words of the election day in
