WOULD NOMINATE ROOSEVELT.

An interesting contribution to cur
rent political literature has resulted
from the offer of o prize of 81 1000 by
Senator Jonathan Bourne, of Oregon,
who insists that President Roosevelt
should be re.nominated and reelected
Notwithstanding his statement that
under no circumstances will he accept
another nomination. Senator Bourne
offered a prize of 81, 200 for the best
argument in support of another term
for Mr.. Roosevelt, and the award has
been made to Judge Norcross, of
Nevada, whose paper is in part to
this effect:
Mr.. Roosevelt has not declared
that he will decline the Office should
nation. We need not fear that he
would think of refusing 1t. He Is too
good q soldier and o. patriotic an
American to refuse to obey the com.
mand of the pople to stay In the har-
ness until he finishes the good work
he has inaugurated.
If the American people will stop to
think for a moment they will realize
that, "barring death or serious ILL.,
ness, President Roosevelt must and
will be selected and elected for a
second elective term" The people
are with him in the great work he has
undertaken. They have tho utmost
faith in his honesty of purpose. They
appreciate his transcendent ability to
deal with the great problems now con
fronting the state. They realize his
courage, his initiative, his vast ex
perience, his tremendous capacity fol
effective work. They believe in his
purpose to enforce the law i'm
partially, without respect to person,
wealth, or station.I They:have an abid
ing faith in the ultimate good thai
will result to this nation from hit
persistent campaign against legal ant
moral wrongdoing. They compre
bend the value Of having such q maj
as Chief Executive.
No other man has such q hold upo,
the confidence Of the people. N,
other man can gain such confdenc
without years of trial. The peopl
know what Roosevelt Is: they do nc
know what some other man may b,
come. The policies Of Roosevelt al
in course Of execution. Few, at tn
time, have reached ultimate ~conclusio,
To place another man at the head
this government would mean, for son
time to come, delay, uncertainty,
not possible disappointment in the su
cessful carrying out Of the problems
government the President has essaye
to solve.
For President Roosevelt to be pc
mitted to give up the reins Of COVER
ment at the end of his first electi,
term because Of such illogical az
paltry reasons as have been offere
againt the wish of the great mass
the people, in the present condition

than folly.

able thing to do under the circul
