As Harmony Candidate.

Lincoln. Neb., Dec. 22.=COmment-
ing on the filing of the name of Col
onel Roosevelt for the presidential
preference primary election in April,
Governor Chester II. Aldrich said;
Without doubt, his name could go
onto the ballot in every state in the
Union if Colonel Roosevelt would even
give the slightest Indication that he
would sanction it and he would be
nominated for president at the next
national convention just as easily as
he was in 1904.
Here in Nebraska is a latent SEN
timent that needs but slight encOur-
agement to become the dominating pO-
litical force in the state But in spite
of Colonel Roosevelt's declaration that
he does not wish to be a candidate for
office under any circumstance, the peo-
pie of this country may put him in
position that he may feel it to be his
moral and patriotic duty to accept the
nomination.
1.-The people elected him to the ex-
allied position of the presidency when
he wanted it and it would be his CRATE
full duty to become a candidate be-
cause they want him.
Colonel Roosevelt could carry Ne
braska and the West by even a greater
ma jority than he did before, which was
a record breaker 1t is my opinion
that not only here in the West, but
over the entire country, his nomination
would cement and harmonic into a
coherent working force the entire Re
publican party.

Mr.. George r. Sheldon 81 Cedar

Dear Mr.. Sheldon:-I thank you for
your letter and I am glad that it was
written. There is little for me to add
to what you have said. ] never uIrect-
" or Indirectly, in any shape. way or
form, asked Mr. Hartman or anybody
else to contribute a dollar to aid in
my election. Moreover, on the only oc-
casion on which Mr. Hartman ever
spoke to me on the subject at all he
did so of his own Initiatives and so far
from there being any request from me
to him, he made to me the request
that l would aid him in getting the
national committee to contribute some
of its funds for the campaign expenses
of Mr. Higgins. the candidate for gov
ernor in New York state.
He at the time stated to me that
my own election was assured; that the
election of Mr.. Higgins, in which he
was especially interested. was doubtful
and that he earnestly hoped that the
national committee would divert some
of its funds from the national to the
state campaign, where the need was
great and where he believed the cleo
ton of Mr. Higgins to be in jeopardy.
AS shown in your letter, this was pre-
cIsely what the national committee did.
Very truly yours,
(Signed) THEODORE ROOSEVELT.'

where he attended a dinner given to
President Taft at the home of John
Hays Hammond There were sixty
guests, the majority of them men,
bers of the national Republican COM
mittee and the National Republican
league, of which Mr.. Rely is a IN en-
Ter. AT this dinner President Taft
made a speech in which he repeated
his declaration made in Chicago that
he hoped" the Republicans would
carry the country in the presidential
election next year.
In Washington / met Republican
leaders from all over the country
Mr.. Rely said 1.-THE feeling is almost
unanimous that Taft can not carry
the party to victory, but that Roose-
welt can and will. The opinion is
that it must be Roosevelt or a Demo-
crat. I had two conferences with
Roosevelt in New York. the last one
lasted three hours He told me he
was not a candidate for the presiden-
tial nomination. but, he said, the de-
mands the public was making upon
him were nearly overwhelming. He
receives an average of four hundred
letters a day from people in all parts
of the country asking him to be
candidate.
TT is my opinion that Colonel
Roosevelt will be forced to accept the
nomination, and 1 found that opinion
prevalent among leaders of the Re
publican party in Washington and
