NOT STRONG IN THE SOUTH
NO CONSPICUOUS DEMAND FOR
PRESIDENTS DENOMINATION.
Contingency That Might Induce Him
to Alter His Determination Ap-
parently Not Yet Existing.

The suggestion. credited to a close friend
of President Roosevelt that there is one
contingency in which he might agree to
run again. is being eagerly discussed by
southern democrats in Washington. The
proposition was that if there should come
anything like unanimous call from the
south for the Presidents denomination,
coupled with like demand from the west.
the President might deem the situation
such to warrant reconsideration of his
determination not to be candidate for
third term
The question discussed by the southern
democrats in connection with that sugges
tiOn Is how much of a demand for Roose-
velts nomination is likely to come from the
south and how popular is he. after all,
with the real rank and file of southern dem
ocrats? There are conflicting answers to
the question. Consensus of the Judgment
might be expressed this way:
Suspicious Of Roosevelt.
That the south is still in suspicious at
titude toward President Roosevelt. The
memory of the Booker Washington incl
dent still fingers: the recollection of the
Crum case is still keen along the seaboard,
while the Indianoa affair is not forgotten.
Whatever the rest of the country thinks
about those incidents. there is only one
tagonstic to the President.
AS q Set-off. however. is the Presidents
action in the Brownsville affair BY the
very same course of reasoning which die
tated their resentment of the Presidents
course in the other cases they give him
praise for Brownsville The question is.
Which outweighs in the estimation of the
southern democrats and is there reason to
believe that the Presidents action in the
Brownsville affair marks n change in his
attitude toward the southerners?
Brownsville Not a Set-Of
Some of the southern politicians point
out that the Presidents course i'll the
Brownsville affair was not a"tuated by
any motive of peas ng the south. They
any unction to thmselves in that affair:
the President law unto himself and
went ahead entirely independently of what
the effect might be in the south. So they
eliminate that et-off and find President
Roosevelts attitude toward tn" south 10
be just what IL has been from the begin
mig of his adminStratio ion. Consequently
they see no reason why the south shonli
fall down and worship him political
idol.
Other southern democrats say that tn"
third-term idea is peculiarly rcpugnant
to the south, and that the tendencies OF
President Roosevelt toward contradiction
are distaste:ul to the las; degree To that
section of the country. \ combination of
about through a wip:ng out of political
lines. would come nearer putting the
United States upon Mexican basis than
anything imag .nable, these nel say.

All vehicles approaching 18th street and

slacken speed to four miles an hour, and
a sign warning all drivers to proceed slow
ly will be placed on the corner in question

yester. Superintendent of police, as an
amendment to article X, section 81, Of
the police regulations.
The regulation was prepared by Cor

commended by the superintendent of police
because of the amount of traffic of vehicles
at the point mentioned, and because OF the
fact that there is always large number
of persons transferring from the Columbia
