Theodore Roosevelt, the greatest
politician of his time, the one poll
tician who measures up to the stature
of a statesman, the most picturesque
and powerful personality in the
world today has not been received
with the loud acclaim in Lake county
that his supporters expected.
Ever since Roosevelt announced
his candidacy for the presidency
THE TIMES has been conducting IN
investigation among its readers with
the purpose of determining how his
announcement had been received.

If the conservative sentiment as
representated by the Taft votes Was
nearly 1000 strong there was stacked
UP against it the 1,73S votes that were
cast for the three radicals or semi
radicals who opposed him.
That made ii appear that IL there
was one of these three. Roosevelt.

stronger today than he was two weeks

Roosevelt has lot of admirers here
