A monstrous piece of ego that any

ment upon Theodore Rooseyelt's aspira-
tons for a third term as President of the

Mr.. Cox further scored Roosevelt for
declaring himself a candidate for the re-
publican nomination. He lauded the policy
and administration of President Taft.
There are mistakes made in govern
ment, however. said the orator, that are
meeting with widespread protest from the
people. sounded 10y the growing socialist
party. Legislation is too impersonal. said
Mr. Cox. and should be brought down to

Not n Personal Issue.

Col. Roosevelt repeated his statement
that he had not taken his present posi-
ton for personal reasons. and made it
clear that heidi not propose to make the
issue in any sense n personal one.
Col. Roosevelt was asked to explain the
position he will maintain during the cam
paign.
In reply he issued the following state
ment: II could not more definitely state
my position on the great issues of the
day than | stated it in my Columbus
speech and again yesterday before the
Massachusetts legislature.
In addition to calling attention to what
l there said on the subject of popular
government / also call particular atten-
ton to what | said al Columbus on the
business situation and the proper atti-
tude OF the government toward business
as to assure conditions that will make
for the prosperity of the business world
and Of all our people.
Subjects of Moment.
In my Ohio speech ] dwelt with en-
phasis upon the two great subjects of
immediate moment to our people, the
need of having a real and not merely
nominal popular rule. and the need of Sc
curing prosperity for the business man.

Disaster Seen in Nomination.

The financial dailies all declare the
sound business interests of the United
States are against Roosevelt. The Express
fears his nomination, let alone his cleo
ton, would have disastrous effect.
According to cable dispatches in the
Morning Leader and the Daily Telegraph,
the coal miners and the railroad men
in fact workers in nearly all the indus
tries-either are going on strike soon or
are getting ready to quit work in the near
future, the object being, according to
these exemplars OF British thought. to in
duce the politicians of the democratic
and republican parties, as this is presi-
Dental year. to force employers to in
crease wages all around.

Not a Great Leader.

The Daily Telegraph says: Many per-
sons hold that Mr. Roosevelt is neither
a prophet nor great leader, but just an
ordinary politician, with knack for
quick changes, demagogy and great love
of the limelight.''
The Daily Mail says: Roosevelt is lam
pooned by the Herald. pitied by the sun:
denounced by the Times, and the World
would welcome his defeat. He is accused
on every side of deliberately breaking his
promise not to again be a presidential
candidate.
Referring to Mr.. Roosevelt as a jump
ing cat. the Daily raphic declares that.
judging by the unanimous outburst of the
responsible American press, Mr.. Roosevelt
will have his modifying plunge into dem
agOgy in van.

London newspaper, editorially or in the

The Morning Posts Washington cor
respondent declares there perhaps was an
outside chance of Mr.. Roosevelt getting
the nomination before he made his Co.
lumbus speech. but that it cost him the
support OF thousands of influential men
in the party who are now fighting him
bitterly because they believe his election
would mean business anarchy.
The Morning Leader. in an editorial
