81 have personal knowledge that Col.
Roosevelt does not want the nomination,
but there is such demand that he will
have to take it. Once Roosevelt is
nominated the country will be swept
with an enthusiasm of the intensity of
prairie fire.
IL wrote a personal letter to the COL
onel and told him that his only reason
for not putting himself in the race is
because he does not wish to displease
the man he put there-Taft. This is the
reason he holds off. T. R. is the only
man who is strong enough in character
and experienced enough in the political
game to serve the people. Business
conditions are such as to demand the
exponent of the square deal. The man
who can bring order out of chaos is

ened the business conscience of this
country to any great extent, and |
should not hesitate to vote for him.
The third term bugaboo doesn't bother
me in the least. If he should receive

would sweep the country. | don't think
Taft could be elected, not that have
anything against Taft, but you know

president of the Cambridge Coach Com
pany stated: Roosevelt as the Repub-
lican candidate for President would be
elected by larger vote than any other
man that the Republicans could nomi-
nate.

Tho Roosevelt Current.

The statements of James Yurann of
Blue Rapids, Kan, of talk with Col.
Roosevelt, and also that of Lawrence
Abbott of the Outlook, in Boston, on
the position of Roosevelt today are sig
niicant only by way of confirmation.
Neither one alters in the least The
Journals definition of his precise
position. He will enter no contest, but
no man, not even Mr. Roosevelt, has a
right to say that he will under no con-
ditions refuse call to duty.
The really significant thing is the
development with swiftness that is
phenomenal of demonstration that is
running over the length and breadth of
the country and increasing in intensity
as it Ispreads. The expressions which
have come to the Journal the past four
days both from Boston and outside have
revealed what power and sweep the
Roosevelt current has. Boston Journal.

YOU'VE HIT BUSTER FAY.
That's Nothing" Replies Chsuf-
feur and Shakes OF Corpse

New York, Jan. 10. The police are
looking tonight for the chauffeur of an
automobile who ran down and killed 10
year-old Patrick Fay on an upper West
Side street and escaped. According to
the boys playmates, his body was
hurled into the air and landed on the
hood of the motor and in order to shake
it off, the chauffeur "zig-zagged" his
machine until the dead body rolled into
the street.
One of the boys told the police that he.
shouted the chauffeur, Mister, you've
hit Buster Fay" and that the man re-
piled, "Oh, that's nothing" and sped
away. The boy got the number of the
machine, however, and the police are
confident that the identity of the man
will soon be established. The chauffeur
had passenger who, the boy witnesses
say, made no effort to prevent the.
chauffeur from escaping.

VIOLENT DEATHS LEAST IN
VERMONT.
Increased Number of Murders
during 1910 In the United
States

Washington, Jan. q. About six per-
sons in every 100, 900 in the United States
were murdered in 1910. This estimate
is made by DR.. Cressy L. WIKI burn,
chief statistician of vital statistics of
the census bureau. He attributes to
homicidal causes 3,190 of the AZ, COG
deaths from violence in thatyear This
is at the rate of SO per 100, 900 as
against 81 in 1909.
Violent deaths resulted to 80. 3 persons
out of every 100, 900 in 1910, and in 1909
only IS. 8 in the same number met death
in the same manner.
Railroads killed the greatest number
and 1877 deaths are reported from in
juries from that source. This is an in
crease to LAG in every 100000 popula-
ton over 1871 in 1909. Accidental
drowning took the next largest number.
Automobiles killed $50 persons, just
1.S to every 100000 inhabitants. This
is an increase in rate over 12 in 1909.
Pennsylvania had the largest num-
Der of violent deaths in 1910, and Col
orado theihighest rate. New York was
second. Vermont reported the smallest
number of deaths in 1910, and Wisconsin
had the lowest rate in both 1910 and
1909.

FRIDAY. JANUARY a6, 1919.
ROOSEVELT STRONGEST
MAN IN PARTY.
Frank A. Munsey's Reason for
Urging His Nom n alton.

New York, Jan. 24.-The New York
Times publishes an interview with MIR.
Frank A. Munsey on the political sit
uation of today.
The Times prefaces the interview by
referring to Mr.. Munsey's signed edi-
torial in his newspapers published Jan.
II on "Mr. Roosevelt and the Presi-
dency." 1t is pointed out that that
editorial bears all the earmarks of
being photographcally accurate view
of the situation and of Mr.. Roosevelt S
attitude. The editorial was published a
fortnight ago. but recent developments
make it clear that Mr.. Munsey was not
without a pretty good knowledge of
what he was discussing.
In his interview in the Times Mr..
Munsey says:
"All this talk eminating from Wash
ington about men prominent in the Steel
Corporation and other corporations be-
ing behind the Roosevelt movement be-
cause of financial interests in these cor
porations and because of the govern
ment's suit against the Steel Corpora
ton is kindergarten politics. 1t isn't
good enough, because it isn't true, and
nothing that doesn't rest on a basis of
fact and truth can get very far with
the American people.
$50 far as know the situation, the
matter of the Roosevelt agitation has
its origin in the belief will go further
and say conviction that Mr.. Taft can
not be elected if nominated, except by
some great political blunder on the part
of the Democratic party-a blunder
either in policies or in the candidate it
names for President.
1.-The voting strength of the Demo-
cratic party today is obviously greater
than that of the Republican party.
Therefore to win out in the coming cleo
ton the Republicans must have a can
didate stronger than the party; strong
enough to hold the votes of the party
and gain sufficient number of votes
from the Democratic party to elect it's
candidate.
$50 far as | am concerned, there is
or has been no mystery in my position
in this matter. My analysis of the sit
uation points clearly to the conclusion
that Mr.. Roosevelt is stronger with the
people of this country than any other
man in the Republican party, and there
fore | would like to see him nominated.
"And as citizen it is perfectly legt-
innate to work for the man or measure
that means most for the general pros
perity of the country. Beyond this gen.
eral prosperity | have no interest of
any kind whatsoever.

The Public Must Dodae.

1t is familiar story that the auto
mobile has come to be too much re-
garded as supreme upon the public high
ways. The rights of pedestrians are
being altogether too much overlooked.
1t has come about that pedestrians are
expected to do all the lodging. 1t ought
to be the rule everywhere that auto
mobiles should give passengers to and
from the street cars full right of way.
But in. Springfield and many other
places the danger of taking and leaving
a trolley car is great and constant.
The drivers of most automobiles respect
neither age nor youth, and speed by
waiting cars with a dangerous disre-
gard for those on foot. We have not
begun as vet to properly regulate the
use of automobiles, and the public
spirited men who have organized the
highway safety league have Undertaken
a work that is vital to the safety of the
people. 1t is most encouraging to see
how earnestly those who are responsible
for this movement are taking hold of
a thankless public duty. Springfield
