Roosevelt and Hughes.

Mr.. Roosevelt's letter to the bull moose
national committee on the subject of
his nomination for President will be de-
livered Monday. 1t is understood that
he viii decline the nomination, and in
doing SO announce his purpose to sup
port Mr.. Hughes and give his reasons.
This has been the popular expectation
ever since the nomination was made.
Standing by itself, it had, and could
have, no value. Bull moose success at
the polls was clearly impossible. The
real question presented therefore was
a. to whether the bull moosers and their
leader cared to play the part of as
sistant democrats in this campaign. As
the part did not appeal to Mr.. Rooss-
welt he refused it and the Hughes camp
was his only refuge.
1t is unnecessary to point out the
marked difference between the situation
Of 1919 and this years situation. Then
the bull moosers alleged, and argued. q
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1916-06-22

grievance. Now they have none. The
convention that nominated Mr.. Hughes
proceeded without friction and in order,
and registered in its nomination the
unmistakable desire of the great bulk of
the republican party. Mr.. Roosevelt's
case was presented and respectfully con-
sidered, but showed no strength. His
nomination. as events disclosed, was
never possible.
The most influential of the men who
attended the bull moose convention pre-
ceded Mr. Roosevelt into the republican
organization, and doubtless did so in the
belief that he would follow. From that
organization they had come, and unto it
they returned. 1t was easy for them to
accept so strong and attractive man as
Mr.. Hughes; and there was nothing
whatever Objectionable. but much most
praiseworthy. in the platform.
Reunited, the republicans offer battle
in formidable force. Had they stood to-
gether in 1912 Mr. Taft would have had
largely the best of the poll. Mr.. Wilson
is a minority President
The figures of four years ago are not
quotable now without challenge. how
ever. 1t is simple matter to add to-
gether the votes cast for Taft and those
cast for Roosevelt; but it is not safe
to assume that Mr. Hughes will receive
the strength of that support as com
pared with the support Mr.. Wilson then
received. That would give Mr.. Hughes
walkover; and undertaking the opposi-
ton is not good politics.
That Mr.. Roosevelt will be active in
the campaign is likely. The part of a
spectator would not suit his tempera-
ment or training. He always lends
hand when his sympathies are enlisted.
And he will probably have large meet
ings when he takes the stump.

consideration hereafter. The happen
ings Of the past year, marked by court
proceedings, eliminating in the prompt
acquittal Of the officers of the bank of
the preposterous charge Of perjury, have
been such as to arouse feelings Of bit
terness and to elicit the apprehension
that personal considerations were domi-
nant in the treatment of the bank. A
refusal of charter renewal would have
been construed as indication of con-
tinuanee of this policy. Fortunately,
both for the Treasury and the bank,
this course has not been pursued and
the chapter of unpleasantness may be
regarded as closed, without detriment to
the prestige of the institution which has
been a financial landmark Of Washing
ton for many years.
