Reebe said he had given no other pos
sible candidate any thought and had
no choice.
j. j. DAILY Theodore Roosevelt
would be. OF course. my first choice, I
am 4 great admirer of him. Should he
refuse to run-why, then will abide by
the choice OF the convention. Taft or
Root? Well consider Root one Of the
greatest men In the United states.
