no differences of agreement with him.
He has the right ideas about all such
things and yet he is not radical in the
sense that radicalism is injurious to
any rightly vested interests. He is
conservative when 1t comes to proper
ty interests. He is radical only when
he approaches the man who has been
doing what is not right or honest. AS
to another term. there seems to be a
great pressure being brought on him..
But doubt the wisdom of 1t. The pres-
ident has done his duty and it would
be almost cruelty to him after his
strenuous years Of public service to
compel him to serve the people longer
in such an exacting office There is
tho 1t will be only a second cleo

elections. But the president desires to
retire from that office at the end of
his present term and I do not believe
he will change his mind-unless con-
ditiorls should make it imperative for
him 10 do so. There are other good
men for the office and the man who
will he elected will be man who will
carry out the policies of Roosevelt in
their spirit.
