CAN'T D0WNTHlRD TERM TALK
Walter Wellman Tells How Roose-
volt Can Be Renominated.

Chicago, May 6.--Walter Wellman
says today: 1t is the expected that
has happened. There is now distinct
revival of talk of nominating President
Roosevelt for another term. When we
say it was expected we mean that it
was looked for by every man who
understands American politics, inelud
ing President Roosevelt himself. Those
who thought the presidents reitera-
tion of his earlier statement that he
was not candidate would for all
time, put stop to talk of him as a
possible nominee, were mistaken.
Unless the president changes his
mind the convention will meet without
any further word from him.
And what will happen theny 1t is
just now a favorite idea with many
political writer's and the men who
are interviewed for publication that
the convention will stampede for
Roosevelt; that some man with a
grievance will start hurrah for the
president and that the convention will
lose its head and in tremendous
wave of enthusiasm give the nOmina-
ton to the president by reclamation.
Or that, if this does not happen, dur
ing the first ballot some delegation or
delegations will start voting for Roose.
welt, Others will follow and in a few
moments the convention will be in IN
describabe uproar and excitement as
delegation after delegation rushes to
join the movement, till the nomination
of the president is achieved in a
frenzied outburst.
