Day by day there seems to be evidences of growth of Roosevelt sentiment even among the stand pat republicans unless all dispatches lie.
 Indeed it is now held that it Is not remotely probable that he may be nominated by that very party which he shook to pieces at the last election and whose defeat by his defection he clearly secured.
 In all the republican party there is no possibility like Roosevelt. None have his vigor; his into lsity and earnestness; his aggressive and dominating manner; his political un- scrupulousness: his unsuitable am bition.
 He has what no other man has in the United States, fanatical fol- lowing which will vote for and sup port him. no motter how errctic his policies or how extravagant his visions.
 People imagine that Roosevelt is has-been, but they are very wide of the mark Not single man that visited the Fair in San Francisco ever had the reception that he re- ceived all along the way. Thousands hung upon his words and thou sands cheered him as if he were ar emperor.

 Fine epigram and sententious pia- titudes born of the Princeton mid night oil would avail little before the sledge hammer destructiveness oi Roosevelt criticism. The doctrine of gentlomanly preparedness tha' Wilson has devised to satisfy the de .nands of the war fevered, would be but shallow draft indeed foI Roosevelt Before the scorchlne breath of Roosevelt aggressiveness these fanciful policies would evapo' rate as dew on summer morn.
 Wilson is a clever politician, and he has taken care that no extremity of policy will offend any large fac. dion of the voters. He has dono this ably and well. His policy towards Germany was moderate and reason able to all but an ultra fanatic. Hi! conclusion of the Lusitania case has been hailed as great success anc his notes are not supposed to have been lacking in punch.
 He has not antagonized the in .terests unduly. He wisely upheld the neutrality of the government in the Notation of loan for the Al lies and will not interfere with { intuition industry which brough democratic prosperity" to the eas at least
 His remarks as to hyphenatet Americans were unfortunate ant did considerable harm, which, how ever, he is now repairing by mean of several very forceful notes t England.
 He says himself that any pcrsol who says that the democrats will b. defeated next election is talkin!
