Roosevelt in 1912

1t looks like Roosevelt expected
to be candidate in 1912. Some of
his enthusiastic friends have been
talking about him but there was
nothing to support their prophesies
until the confidential friends. who
visited him after the turn down for
chairman, announced that he will
be candidate only if it is neces-
sary to do SO in order to carry out
his policies. That means that
he is not satisfied with the admin
stration and expects to contest the
nomination two years hence. That
means fun. And how will he set
forth, specifically, the policies
which he regards as his? 1t will
be interesting to know what policies
he regards as of such vital impor-
lance as to justify him in violating
the precedent of a century. Are
there any good policies that Dem
ocratic victory would not protect?
