DECLARES FOR ROOSEVELT

Gen. N. Winslow Williams, who
was Secretary Of State under he lats
Governor Crothers. yesterday sent
letter to Mr.. Z. 9. Darlington, Jr., il
which he declares in favor Of Colon
Roosevelt For many years Genera
Williams has been regarded as an in
dependent Democrat and his friends
say that his is not the first time that
he has broken away from his party.
After the Democratic convention,
General Williams states in bis letter,
he was encouraged to hope that his
own party had found candidate
qualified for the strenuous work a.
head, bit that Governor Wilfon's
speech Of acceptance was not salts
factory
The letter, which was sent from
York Harbor, Maine, Is, in part, as
follows.
sMr. Wilson's speech Of aceep-
lance was not a satisfactory nor an
Illuminating utterance from a candi-
date who seeks to be the next Presi-
dent of the United States. The
coming four years will offer no time
Or place for distractions or generali-
ties, much less for opportunism or
straddle. Great problems, social and
industrial, will have to be squarely
met and squarely dealt with; to at
tempt to temporize with or dodge
Them will only be to put off the day al
reckoning and pile up the trouble.
Yet such seems te be the policy Of
old parties and of their candidates
ssThe situation existing in this cou +
try today demands at the head Of af-
fairs a man who is definite in purpose
and positive in action; the reins
should be put in the hands Of one
who knows the road he is driving
and is not afraid Of his horses. Mr..
Roosevelt is that man. He has been
President and knows the office and
the people know him.n Sun.
This bears out our contention III a
receat editorial that Col. Roosevelt
would poll more votes from the Dem
ocratic party than from the Republi-
can party. Republicans will not do
sert their party but follow the old
standard to victory.

OF THE UNIVERSITY CLUB

Seventh Annual Banquet

of honor, the University Club of Wash
ington will give its seventh annual ham
quet at the New Willard Hotel the night
of Tuesday. February ~ Gardner F.
Williams, the clubs president, will pre-
side, and it is expected nearly 800 club
men and their guests will participate in
the festivities
Especial interest is felt i'm this years
function in view of the progress made in
building the new clubhouse facing Nc
Pherson Square, at the northwest corner
of 18th and | streets. In compliment to
his work in that connection Col Myron
NJ Parker, head of the building company
erecting the structure, has been selected
as POSTMASTER at the banquet.
Prominent speakers have always been
a feature of University Club events, and
this years list, while at present A club
secret, is understood TO contain names
of men OF natfOnPl reputation as orators
and after-dinner speakers Arrangements
for the dinner are in charge of a. COM
mittee of which the chairman is Charles
E. Howe Members of this committee
have been designated to provide special
features of entertainment, lead the sing
ing and arrange decorative designs in
flowers. college flags, etc.
Formal announcement of details is eX-
pected shortly in communications TO
club members. describing the seating ar
rangements so that clubmen desiring to
entertain guests can be placed in groups
or at special tables. In past years the
attendance has been in excess OF s0t
persons, and this years function Is likely
to be even larger. because of the interest
aroused by the satisfactory progress in
the erection of the new clubhouse. This
is one of the ideas advocated by Pres-
dent Taft, who was the clubs first presi
dent, and has received enthusiastic sup
port from the members.
