ROOSEVELT CANDIDATE
Statement Given Out Monday Says
He is in the Race for
President.
REPLY TO SEVEN GOVERNORS.
Former President Will Accept NOm-
inatiOn if rendered. Would Have,
Direct Primaries to Decide.

Col. Theodore Roosevelt, whose
possible candidacy for the presiden-
cy has doubtless been the most dis
cussed question throughout the ma
tion for several months past, defin-
lily decided the matter on Monday
in public statement, being a letter
in reply to a request from the con-
ference of the governors of the
states of West Virginia, Nebraska,
New Hampshire, Wyoming, Michigan
Kansas and Missouri.
The above named governors met
in Chicago two weeks ago and draft
ed letter to Col. Roosevelt assert
ing that there was popular demand
for him to be president again and
urging him to declare himself as to
whether he would accept the re-
publican nomination if it came to
him unsolicited and unsought." For
two weeks he considered the letter,
and on Monday gave a favorable re-
ply as follows:
New York, Feb. "a, 1912.-Gen-
tlemen: Il deeply appreciate your
letter and | realize to the full the
heavy responsibility it puts upon
me, expressing as it does the careful
ly considered convictions of the men
elected by popular vote to stand as
the heads of government in the sew
eral states.
Il absolutely agree with you that
this matter is not one to be decided
with any reference to the personal
preferences or interests of any man,
but purely from the standpoint of
the interests of the people as a
whole. will accept the nomination
for president if it is rendered me
and will adhere to this decision un-
til the convention has expressed its
preference. One of the chief prin-
ciples for which l have stood and for
which l now stand and for which
have always endeavored and always
shall endeavor to reduce to action, is
the genuine rule of the people; and
therefore l hope that so far as possi-
bic the people may be given the
chance, through direct primaries, to
express their preference as to who
shall be the nominee of the republi-
can presidential convention. Very
truly yours,
Theodore Roosevelt"
1t is yet to early to fortell what
effect this announcement will have
on the situation. but it will be con-
ceded, We believe, that henceforth
the race will be between Taft and
Roosevelt, with Cummins and LaFOl-
lette trailing behind and practically
out of it. 1t will be an interesting
campaign, with the probability of
plenty of fireworks all along the
line.

How many of our readers can tell
what the stripes on barber pole
signify? You see the pole with it's
stripes and you know there is bar
ber back of the pole, but here the
knowledge of the average person
ends. In the early days BARRIERS did
the bleeding for the community and
surgeons were not so plentiful as
now. The first thing thought neces-
sary. way down to the time of George
Washington's death, was that any
patient should be bled. Tap him and
take a few ounces of blood from
him no matter how weak he might
be. Well the red stripes on the bar
ber pole mean the ribbon bandages
that BARRIERS bound over the wounds
caused by bleeding people. When
they got through with a plethoric
man of full habit and had tapped
him like hard maple tree in Febru-
airy. he was patched up and ban
daged until his arms. legs and body
looked like a much gartered leg.
