Hon. A. M. Stephenson, republican
national committeeman for Colorado, on
his recent return from trip To Wash
ington. ID. c., is reported to have said
in an interview that. in his judgement,
Theodore Roosevelt would be renomi-
mated and elected president. He says
that in the interests Of his country and
party President Roosevelt cannot re-
fuse the nomination when rendered him
by the republican convention.
There is no question about where the
republicans Of Colorado stand on the
presidential question. They nro for
Theodore Roosevelt first, last and all
the time II he will. under any circum-
stances, accept the nomination. As n
candidate. he would not only get the
solid republican vote Of the state but
would have very strong vote from
members Of other political parties.
Theodore Roosevelt is the man who
should be his own successor.
