We were glad indeed to see ex-Sher-
if F. NJ. Mccullough elected chair
man Of the republican party of Marion
county. Francis is o. X. and will do
the clean thing to all candidates in the
field. Francis, l am with you to the
end. In a letter a lille back l said
ex-President Roosevelt would be the
next republican nominee for president
of the National Convention, and some
writers hooted at my political prophe-
cy, but you see it is now fast coming
to pass. | know it came as a shock
and a great surprise when old Marion
county stepped forward and endorsed
the Rough Rider, but readers, he is
sure a winner. l find, afer surveying
ing the political field, that a great
number of the leading democrats of
the south are endorsing the candidacy
of Roosevelt for President. l hope /
won't be criticised because l endorse
his candidacy. l am not by myself in
this county by a jugful, and a vast
number of them are regular readers of
the News.
