are some advantages about such a

Aooordlng 70 the kansas civ star

According to the Kansas City Star
It &c not because Of te-iai
spirit, bat because he knows that his
policies are the peoples policies that
President Roosevelt is striving to
name his successor. The beauty of
this explanation consists in the fact
that it is identical with the explana-

sought to provide succession in office.
The Stars idea is that while it might
have been highly d ctatorial for the
president to ave tried to force AL
drich or Fairbanks upon the republic

force Taft upon it. In other words
a president would be highly dictator

his party but not at all so in the case
