ton was. will Roosevelt ac-
cept the nomination If 1t Is
rendered himT' That question
having been definitely answered, He
WILL" the question now is, Can he
secure the nomination.
There has been great deal of con-
fusion n regard to Roosevelt's posi-
ton on the question of a nomination,
much of which has been caused by
the fact that one part of the Repub-
lican party wants him as a candidate
and the other part of the Republican
party wants the country TO believe
that under no circumstances could
Roosevelt be induced to run.
1t Is probably fair to state that the
uncertainty in regard to RoOseVelts
course has been due more to his
friends and foes than to any indie
cision on his part.
In the February Review of Reviews
DIR. Albert Shaw makes an authorita-
tive statement that will be welcomed
by all who are interested In the stua
ton He states. There Is no reason
whatsoever for asserting that Mr..
Roosevelt would decline the nomina-
ton If offered to him, nor is there any
reason for thinking that those Repub-
licans who wish to support him are
acting without due warrant in trying 10

Not Seeker.
As matter of fact. Roosevelt's at
titude has been logical. though. unfOr-
tunately. misunderstood. He is not an
active seeker for the nomination. nor
could he be. 1t would be most i'm
proper for him to make any active
fight for the nomination. He served
his term as president and retired vol
UNFAIRLY. Any attempt on his part TO
come back" would be vigorously and
properly resented by the large MAORI
ty of Americans.
But if conditions are such that the
public turns to Mr. Roosevelt as the
most available candidate and If his
party expresses of its own free will
an overwhelming desire for him to
lead 1t once more it would be not
only proper for him to accept the
nomination. but almost cowardly for |
him to refuse. His life for thirty |
years has been devoted to the public |
and to his country. and if they call on
him once more to lead them in a fight |
they have a right to expect him to an
swer, like a soldier. Ready for duty"
In less troublesome political times 1t |
is doubtful if any situation could arise |
that would necessitate the calling back |
of man who had voluntarily relin-
quished the highest office in the coun-
try. But in these times of mOmentous
questions there is grave necessity for
real leaders. and it is but natural that
the public should turn again to its for
mer leader.
So let us dispose of the question.
"Wir Roosevelt be a candidates? by
answering. IF the Republicans of the
country through their delegates desire
Roosevelt for their nominee he will ac-
cept." This answer has been accept
ed by all of his friends, and the work
of securing delegates is now being
rapidly pushed.

Three Points of Difference.

Colonel Roosevelt has openly opposed
the president on three important policies
viz. conservation. including the Con-
troller bay affair: the arbitration trea-
ties, and the steel trust prosecution. The
difference in attitude on the last named

Roosevelt and Blaine.

Those fond of historical parallels
point TO the similarity between the
present campaign and that of twenty
years ago Benjamin Harrison was
then president. In the convention or
1888 James q. Blaine could have been
the nominee. but declined and suggest
ed Harrison In the convention of l9OS
Theodore Roosevelt could have been
the nominee, but declined and sug-
rested Taft. A tariff bill was passed
during Harrisons administration just
as during that of Mr.. Taft. and the
succeeding outlook for the reelection
was dark. as it is admitted to be in
the present case. Under these circum-
stances Mr. Blaine was importuned TO
become a candidate to save the party.
as Mr. Roosevelt is being importuned
now. He declined and wrote a letter
to that effect to the chairman of the
nationa! committee. Colonel Roosevelt
now says he is not a candidate. In
the case of Mr. Blaine. however. his
friends said that he would accept If
the nomination came TO him unaui-
mously. Substantially the same thing
is being said by Roosevelt's friends to-
day. Although Mr.. Blaine was Harri-
sons secretary of state. it was general

his successor. Both twenty years ago
and now the administration was &C

Here the parallel must end, for the
reason that the 1912 campaign is yet
in the future. A review of what hap
pened subsequently in the Harrison
fight may be in place, however. not as
a suggestion that the parallel be fol
lowed to the end. but that it may be
avoided. A few days before the con-
vention met in 1892 Mr.. Blaine resign
