ROOSEVELT AGAIN.

IT LOOKS as if the question of whether Colonel
Il Roosevelt is to be candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination for President will be put up to
the Colonel so that he will not be able to dodge
it,
His friends have been circulating the report
that under no condition would he accept the nomi-
nation, but the Colonel himself has not made
statement that satisfactorily removes all doubt.
This is obvious from the fact that despite such
statements the former president has made, his
friends in Nebraska have determined to support
him in the primary, which is to be held on April IA.
An Omaha attorney the other day presented the
petition and paid the filing fee, giving notice that
later he would file supplementary petition and
a list of sixteen names, the latter TO be known
as Roosevelt delegates, and such to so on the
Official ballot for the primary election.
Taft leaders in Nebraska think that the action
of the attorney is the launching of the Roosevelt
boom in Nebraska Mr. Yeiser the lawyer who
filed the petition, declined to say whether he was
authorized to do so by the former president but
admitted that he had been in correspondence with
Colonel Roosevelt. The probabilities are that the
lawyer received no encouragement from Roosevelt,
although the sage of Oyster Bay, when informed
Of the matter, declined to comment. If Mr.. Roose-
welt should continue to decline to comment the
Roosevelt boom in Nebraska would be followed
by the use of the Presidents name in the other
states where primary elections are held to deter
mine the choice of the voters for the presidential
nomination.
