There are several things about the

that the wheel does not labor, as 1t

The ROOSEVELT CANDIDACY.

Colonel Rooseyelt's announcement
that he will accept the presidential
nomination if it is offered him places
him openly in the field as candidate
for another term in that high office.
1t is no part of his program or the
program of those supporting him to
allow matters to shape themselves and
depend upon popular uprising in his
favor as a means of GROWING his can
headquarters will be opened in New
York, Chicago and San Francisco and
organized efforts to secure delegates
will be made under the direction of
skilled political leaders. This dis
poses once and for all of the as
sumption that he would accept nomina-
| ton only in case he was called upon
to do so in obedience to practically
unanimous and wholly spontaneous
! demand His announcement changes
/ his attitude from that of one whom
the Office might in certain conting-
/ encies seek to that Of determined
seeker after further political prefer
ment and honor
4 Colonel Roosevelt's course in pro-
jecting himself into the field as an
active candidate, despite his pledge on
the night of the election in 1904 that
he would under no circumstances
again be candidate for President
carries with it the implication that
President Taft has been tried and
found wanting and that he alone Is
worthy of the position of standard
bearer in the coming campaign. Tht
, fact is that President Taft has shown
himself TO be one of the ablest ant
j hest Presidents this country has eve
had and history will so record. 1t u
a foregone conclusion that this aspec
d of the situation will arouse the friend
t of President Taft and cause them t
e put forth their best efforts in his be
n half An active and exciting contes
n is therefore in prospect, but it is nc
E believed that the party will be S
s shortsighted as to refuse the preser
@ incumbent another term. Such Ell
n dorsement IS clearly his due an

Then the ex-President," says one
account OF the Inauguration, started
to leave the chamber with Senator
Knox as an escort. As he passed
around the rostrum Mr.. Taft was
coming down. Mr.. Roosevelt ran up
the steps and grasped President Taft
by the shoulders. The President
grasped his predecessor in the same
way. For a second they huaged each
other and then shook hands vigorous
ly."
This occurrence, testifying more
dramatically than any other to the
warm friendship that existed between
William Fl. Taft and Theodore Roose-
welt three brief years ago. was re.
called by hundreds in Washington to.
night when 1t became known that
Roosevelt had entered the race for
the 1912 nomination, and the questions
were asked: What is the explana-
tion9l What has brought about the
change in the relations between these
two men?"
Roosevelt's Love Of Power.
Republicans who know both Roose-
welt and Taft intimately will tell you
now that they realized from the time
Taft was elected that a break was
bound to come between Taft and his
predecessor. They credit Roosevelt
| with having been absolutely sincere
| in his early manifestations of regard
and affection for Taft, but they de
clare they we're certain in the end
/ that Roosevelt's ambition, his love OF
power, his desire to dominate the
Taft administration, his habit of mag
4 nifying innocent acts into intended
Sights and his disposition to listen
to the tales of trouble makers would
lead to an enlargement.
The irritation on the colonels part
so his friends say, began even before
Mr.. Taft had been installed at the
White House When Mr.. Taft was
making up his cabinet Roosevelt i:
understood TO have made only one re
quest, and that was that William
Loeb, Jr.. who had served for years a:
Roosevelt's secretary. should have I
place in the Taft cabinet. At tina
time the country was specializing Oh
whether Roosevelt was to dominate
the Taft administration. The asseI
tion was being made that Roosevelt
having dominated Taft and contribu
ed largely to his election, would i
considerable measure dictate the a
fairs of the administration. 1t wa
chiefly to put an end to these rumor
and establish the Taft administrator
on its own basis that the Presiden
turned Loeb down as cabinet pc!
sibility. He offered Mr.. Roosevelt
secretary instead any other executiv
office within his gift The Presider
eventually took only one man frol
the Roosevelt administration, Georg
: Won l.. Meyer, now secretary of tn
n navy.
