WASHINGTON May 29.-(Special Tele
gram.)-The Baltimore Sun this morning
prints the following regarding Mr.. Victor
Rosewater. editor of The Omaha Bee, who
is in the east with Mrs. Rosewater:
''Mr. Victor Rosewater one OF the pro-
prietors of The Omaha Bee and member
of the republican state central committee
of Nebraska, visited the building of the
Sun yesterday. on an eastern trip last
December, about a month after the opening
of the new building, Mr.. Rosewater in
spected the plant from top to bottom and
expressed himself as highly pleased with
what he saw.
National politics is engrossing good
part of the attention of most Nebraskans
at present and Roosevelt sentiment is
stronger than ever before in the central
west" he says.
Mr.. Rosewater was asked for an express
sion concerning the situation In his part
( of the country.
THE action of the Michigan state SEN
ate in indorsing President Roosevelt for a
second elective term reflects the sentiment
prevailing almost universally throughout
the central west. There is no question
| that the people of the entire section are
! thoroughly in harmony with the presidents
policies and appreciative Of his achieve
I ments especially in the direction of rail-
road regulation and corporation control
I believe that the disposition of republic
cans in our part of the country will be,
unless the president makes II known that
/ 1t will be positively distasteful to him, to
send delegations to the next republican
national convention so far committed to
! him at least to make him offer of
| another nomination and give him an OPP
| portunity to refuse it. The opportunity
to refuse a nomination for the presidency.
with success assured in advance, has
never come to anyone, and the mere re-
fusal would give the president a unique
position I'm American history.
There is no thought that the president
would accept another nomination unless
conditions materially change, but the peo-
pie Of the west who admire him and be-
lieve in him, would be glad to confer on
him the distinction of another nomination,
even If 1t has to be followed up with the
selection Of a new nominee, who will have
to be, no matter what his personality,
firmly committed to the Roosevelt poll
cies."
jenkins Called on to Explain.
! John jenkins of Nebraska, United States
consul at San Salvador. is coming home to
=, explain some things in relation to the re-
cent clash between Salvador and Nicaragua.
I There are, it is understood. seme real ugly
charges filed against Jenkins by the Sal
vadorean government, which alleges that
the Omaha man gave aid and comfort
secretly to the Nicaraguans and permitted
them to misuse his official capacity.
It is related of Jenkins, who is Nan i'm
! mune from yellow and other tropc fevers,
that he has taken savage delight in pic
turing the horrors of his position to
would-be successors. and outlining what
would befall them should they be appointed
to his position. Thus far ambitious Ameri-
cans desiring consular positions have
fought shy of putting in an application for
( Salvador.
