The Virginia Republican state com
mittee, at it's recent meeting in Nor
folk, declared for the denomination Of
President Roosevelt for a third term,
and 1t is safe to say that nine-tenths
Of the Republican Office holders Of the
country are in favor of the same
policy. These men will in all prob
ability control the next national Re-
publican convention. Hence the ex-
pectation of Roosevelt's denomination.
1t is not the unfriendly independent
or Democratic press that Is respon-
sible for the impression that, when the
climax Of the Republican convention
IA reached, Roosevelt will be renomi.
mated. On the contrary, many Of the
Democrats and independents have
been disposed to take the president al
his word. The president has simply
not been able to convince his parti
sans that he will not at the last min
ute accept.
This indicates that Roosevelt's par
tisans do not believe him to be al
honorable man; and that they do no
want a truthful man for their leader
they are ready to sacrifice MT, Roose

of the great increase in naval strength

some idea of what the horrors of the
