Waiter Wellman's Washington Special to Thss Chicago Record Herald. | Where doss President Roosevelt real ly stand as, to the third-term talk i That which was expected has come to pass--there is . distinct, revival of lspeculation as to the possibility of mal<- ing MT. Roosevelt the candidate again. Editorials are printed. interviews given, petitions circulated. with that end in view. William R. Hearst and other well informed public men continue to assert their belief that Mir. Roosevelt will De forced to run. Southern Repub- licans declare that so great is the hold the President has upon the people of thHir section he could carry several Southern States against Bryan. Ne brasha Republicans wanted to take the lead in forcing the Presidents hand. Other Republicans talk of the President as the one candidate who would be ab- soluteiy sure to swsep the country | against Mir. Bryan or anyone else the opposition party could name. | What are the views of Mir. Roosevelt hinaseif as to all this7
 | The President believes Judge Taft will be nominated by the Republican National Convention. He believes the nomination will be made on the first ballot. He believes Taft is not only satisfactory to the great majority of the Republican Party. but that hes is distinctly and rapidly growing as a strong public leader.
 President Roosevelt believes there is now much less danger of his own nom. inafion than there was three months l ago. He believes there is less danger than there was for the simple reason that Taft has grown so rapidly and is so admirably suited to the peculiar situation which now exists in the Re- publican Party.
 He believes. further. that while Taft has grown on his own merits. and on general recognition of those merits, that the Influence of the administration. of Mfr! Roosevelt himself has been a ltower of strength to the Taft candidacy. The President feels that he has done a great deal toward making Judge Taft his successor. What he has done he has done for a number of reasons: Be- cause he loves Taft, because he trusts him to carry on the Roosevelt work if elected, and because he has conscious iy wished to. leave no doubt In any ones mind as to his own sincerity.
 
 NotwithstandIng his confidence in the succegs of Taft. notwithstanding his be- Eiief that Taft will win on the first bal lot. Mir. Roosevelt still realizes there re- mains vague possibility of his own nomination. He thinks that the danger s growing less every day and hopes 1t may entirely disappear by the time the conyention meets.
 At the same time as a frank and thoughtful man. accustomed to looking feets Squarely in the face, MT. Roose- welt is conscious that accident or plot or upheaval may push him into q most embarrassing position. For example. if an unexpectedly large measure of sue cess should attend the efforts of the
