prediction, however. runs the impression that
Mr. Roosevelt will bolt, and that there will be
a third ticket in the field with the Rough

Although he himself has never said any
thing TO support such a prophecy. what he has
said in the course OF bis campaign for the
nomination necessitates the belief that Roose-

not head, or any platform that he does not
dictate.

With a splendid situation, d rare climate,
