sons nomination that we we're privi-
legged to be alone with Theodore
Roosevelt and his family and to ac-
quire personal, irrefutable proof
that his purposes are patriotic, I'M
selfish, utterly sincere.
During a two-hour discussion he
laid before us his masterful analysis
of the situation confronting him.
There was not a trace of nervousness
nor a hint of egotistical assurance
in his manner or his words. With
merciless exactitude he pictured the
probable effect upon his career OF
the step he was facing, and weighed
its results with the serene courage
of a man reconciled to what seemed
q certain fate.
1t is no violation of confidence to
say that there never appeared in
anything he said a suggestion of per-
sonal victory. There was, on the
other hand, a plain realization Of
the fact-indicated already in the
abuse of enemies and the advice of
timorous friends-that he must en-
dure ostracism, the loss of cherished
associations, the breaking of friend
ships, misinterpretation without end,
VIII utltdl DIS lHS dlD1OSt tuSNtldDlt
elimination.
With this full understanding In
his mind, with q disastrous termina-
ton to his career the only expected
outcome, Theodore Roosevelt made
his choice.
He chose to make the fight. He
chose to brave m~alignity and asper-
sion, misconstruction, strife and I'LL
innate failure, 81 far as his personal
fortunes were concerned.
He chose this course, because
therein lay his duty; because the
principles he believed in demanded
1t: because IN this crisis, as in all
others, he was driven by a passion
to serve humanity by promoting Soc
ial Justice. He decided then and
there to sacrifice his own interests
to one task-the carrying forward
of this cause to a point where ever
again 1t could be overthrow by the
forces which had destroyed the Re-
publican party.
Events since have changed entire
ly the complexion of affairs and have
shown anew the power of an aroused
people to turn the tide Of an ap-
parently hopeless fight. But when
this leader made his decision it was
with the expectation Of personal de-
feat and discredit. He accepted the
issue without a tremor.
These three scene reveal Theo-
dore Roosevelt as he is. Admiring
but cynical opponents are fond of
saying hat he Is the shrewdest,
most consummate politician this
country has aver seen. He himself
ridicules the idea. He holds that
his power has ever been derived
from a deep-rooted belief In certain
fundamental things, the most COM
monplace principles Of honesty and
decency and Justice. His code has
been effective, because 1t happens to
be the code of a very large number
Of people in each community.
He has been successful-is sue
cessful now-simply because he
makes articulate the unspoken ae-
pirations Of millions of men and
women, because his aim is to serve,
because he Is sincere. b

have held greater promise. He had
escaped the doubtful advantage of a
nomination from a party split by dis
sension. To his vast popularity had
been added the tremendous political
asset of martyrdom. The n In
which Mr.. Taft had been nominated
insured his reputation at the cleo
ton, as he had been repudiated by
the majority Of his party. Every
practical consideration of personal
politics urged hat Colonel Roosevelt,
after making his solemn protest,
should return to private life, and
there await the inevitable-his
one man who could lead the Repub-
lican party back to power.
We know that such advice poured
In upon him from all sides, not alone
from faint-hearted supporters, but
from powerful leaders, who had op-
posed him. 1t was pointed out that
he could retire with all the honors
of war, and that II he would acqui-
esce in the Taft nomination, even
while not indorsing him publicly,
nothing could prevent his own re-
turn to the presidency four years
hence, backed by a united party.
The logic of the situation was pal
pable to the meanest understanding,
as 1t would have been fatally con-
vincing to a mea ambition. Roose-
welt saw clearly the easy path point
ed out to him; but what of the cause
he had been chosen to lead; what OF
the principles which he had declared
to be vital? He never hesitated
The alluring certainty of vindication
and eventual triumph as the rescuer
of the party he thrust aside, and for
the sake of the principles be had
espoused, chose the course which as
certainly seemed to lead toward
political humiliation and discredit.
But events had a still more severe
test for him. Following the tumult
of the convention and the public In.
dignation aroused by it's crime, there
was an emphatic recession Of feel
ing. The enthusiasm stirred by the
fierceness of the battle largely evap-
Grated. Political conditions in the
various states were complicated by
problems which INSTRUCTED independ-
ent action. The election laws pre-
scented apparently insurmountable
obstacles for q fair expression Of
public sentiment. And from many
sincere supporters came advice that
he rest satisfied with his moral vic
tory and appeals that he should not
completely disrupt the shaken party
Then came the nomination Of
Woodrow Wilson by the Democrats
an event which had seemed impossi.
BILE, and which Unexpectedly present,
ed against any third party propose,
the most formidable candidacy tina,
could be conceived.
Governor Wilson's superiority tt
the other Democratic aspirants and
the dramatic features Of his nomina.
ton combined to inspire a hasty
view in many quarters that the Pro
gressive cause had become merged
with the Democratic cause. There
was a general belief that he would
satisfy the aspirations of enough
progressives of both parties to In
sure his election. The surprise OF
his victory vas SO refreshing that
his success in November vas regard
ed as a foregone conclusion.

CITIZENS MEETING
DISCUSSED COLLEGE
A Committee was Sent to GreenvilIe
last Night to Go Before Board of
Trustees of ChicOra College.

meeting of a few business men
of all denominations was held in the
rooms of the Chamber OF Commerce
Monday afternoon to discuss the Ques-
ton of sending committee to Green
vile to feel the sentiment of the board
of trustees of Chicora college to-
wards moving the college to Lau-
rens. The committee was appointed
and left yesterday afternoon to ap-
pear before the board last night.
The meeting Monday afternoon was
called by Rev. c.. f. Rankin, pastor
of the Presbyterian church DR.. H. *.
Aiken was elected chairman of the
meeting and Rev. Mr.. Rankin stated
the purpose. He stated that right at
this time there was a movement on
foot to selln the present property of
Chicora college and buy location
elsewhere. A committee was appoint
ed at the last meeting of the board of
trustees to report upon the advisable
ity of the change, All the committee
were appointed from Greenvile so it
is not supposed that the board had
yet considered the question of moving
the college to some other city Yet.
Mr. Rankin believed there is Il senti-
ment among the board in favor OF
moving the college to some other city
and that those in favor of the change
of location think that Laurcns is the
proper place for it,
The committee last night went pre-
pared to present the advantages of
Laurcns as a location for girls col
lege and the advantages that the col
lese would be to Laurens
