For several reasons Mr.. Roosevelt
ought not to be nominated. First. be-
cause Mr.. Taft deserves reconciliation
and should not be Inundated by rejec-
ton. Again, the party would make It,
self ridiculous by rejecting the presi-
dent, thus branding him - unworthy or
incompetent, and BY selecting In MS
place candidate the most prominent
plank in whose platform at present Is
the recall Of court decisions by MAJOR
ity vote at the polls. In addition, Mr.
Roosevelt as the nominee, would be
weighed down by the objection to
third term and by the belief of very
large number of Americans that In ac-
cepting a nomination he had broken his
word. Can the party afford to COM
mend In its platform It's executive and
legislative work Of four years. and to
withhold a denomination from the presi-
dent 50 closely associated with that
work and responsible for a large part
