II think the president must have
either been misquoted or else misun-
derstood at Chicago. 1 can see no
reason for apprehension at the pres
ent. There is much talk regarding
the existence Of a business depression.
That Is all rot. Conditions are nor

world Of good politically. He is q
remarkable man and has handled the
trying incidents which have occurred
during his administration in an ex-
ceptional manner. l believe that he
stands as good a chance as anyone
Of receiving the Republican nomina-
tion and that mems a certain re-
election"
