Had this convention been great
enough to nominate for president, La
Toilette or Cummins or Senator Clapp
all true progressives, all of whom have
shown themselves sincere, and then
Roosevelt had proved his own sin
certify by supporting the nominee as
vigorously as he is working for him
| self, it would, in my judgment, have
appealed more strongly and surely to
! the people.
The progressive movement in Florida
is captained by splendid men, such as
Anderson of Jacksonville, Wentworth
| Of Pensacola, and Gunby of Tampa,
men who would be credit to any po-
litical party, and I wish them Godspeed
in their efforts to establish new po-
litical party in Florida. Nothing could
be of greater benefit to the south than
a second party strong enough to elect
a minority representation in our legls-
latures.
The south is suffering industrially
and morally today and always will SO
suffer so long as a nomination in one
political party is equivalent to an cleo
ton. And if such a condition as now
prevails is broken, and a new party of
decency and responsibility becomes an
active force in the south, through this
movement, no one will welcome it more
than I, and so far as Roosevelt's part
in it is concerned, will only say God
moves in q mysterious way, his won
Gers to perform" I believe it is ac-
cepted that God sometimes uses the
children of evil to accomplish good
RoosEVELTs SUCCESSOR.
When Roosevelt was considering
who he would select as his successor,
he was not lacking in material In MS
immediate family. There was besides
Taft, Geo. B. Cortelyou, who ably
filed three different Cabinet positions
under the first Roosevelt administra-
tion-a man Of extraordinary executive
ability, gentlemanly and kindly in
every instinct.
His intimate relations with Mckinley
during his administration, and in his
capacity of practical executor for the
dead president, together with his
faculty for making good whatever the
demands on him, and his personal his
tory, all endeared him to the American
people.
There is no doubt that Cortelyou had
aspirations, and there were well de-
fined rumors current in the under
ground political history of this era.
that he received more or less encour-
agement from the man who controlled
the destiny and decision Of the coming
Republican Convention in his hand.
that he might be the favored one.
But Roosevelt passed him by. It was
also rumored that Hitchcock, that kuni-
tation Of Statesman and product of
the kindergarten System that has ex-
listed in Washington in recent years for
turning out bureaucrats, and who owed
his advancement to Cortelyou, gave TO
that gentleman, during those parlous
times, a very good imitation Of the old
fable Of the kind-hearted man who
warmed a freezing viper in his bosom
only to be stung to death for his kind
ness.
Hitchcock, from the story as told in
Washington, was a discharged clerk
from the Agricultural Department.
Cortelyou when Secretary Of the De-
partment Of Commerce and Labor gave
