lost no time in declaring himself for
President Roosevelt for the Republican

surprise that any one should doubt his

that he would not be candidate. and

clare himself against the wish and viii

VicIiOn that President Roosevelt is bet
ter equipped than ever for the exalted
Office which ne has honOTed and
adorned attracting the attention and
admiration OF the whole world, de,
mands that his service be continued

an appeal to his sense of duty that
ought TO cause him to respond with as
cheerful obedience as he gave TO his
