The New York Press and Colonel Roosevelt
 Within forty-cisht hours, beginning May 20, ble editorials appeared in the New York newspapers, bearing the candidacy of Colonel Roosevelt the republican nomination for the presidency Only of these papers the New York Globe had been friendly to the colonel But all united in commenting his Detroit speech. Even the New Tor. Herald declared that it was admirable appeal for straight out Americansm." And the Herald added, Petty must be the viewpoint of the who insists upon seeing in that Detroit address anything selfish any effort to promote anybody's candidacy"
 The New York Times under the caption Political Memories Are short points the folly of attempt ing to harmonize party by the nomination of a can ddate of unknown views the issues which divide it. Though the name of Mir Justice Hughes is not men toned by the Times, there evidently in the mind of the writer comparison between him in the present situation and Alton E. Parker who was nominated by the democrats in 1904. The democratic party was then looking for man who had not offended any body by his views. Says the Times The only way to get such candidate find man who had not expressed any Where, outside of the grave could such be found? Why on the bench" Parker was nominated and then he forced to express opinions that alienated half of the party An express sion of contrary views would aenated the other half Parker at the time his nomination was the worst beaten candidate in the history of his party
 The New York Sun has always been anti -Roose- welt though for the last quarter of a century of strong republican tendencies. writing on May p of the Detroit speech the Sun says "Once again the veerng weathercock of national politics points in the direction of Theodore Roosevelt. Who can wonder? The frank and patriotic wisdom of his great Detroit speech put to shame the hestatons and ret- cences of his competitors" It was declaration on the one great question of the hour" In a breath the waverng and dumb tribes of Burtons and Fairbankses and Cumminses who either stand nowhere or do not dare say where they stand begin to look like mposs- biltes."
 If the people knew. thinks the Sun, where Justice Hughes stands they might to him rather than to Colonel Roosevelt But they do know And" asks the Sun. "can the people be reasonably asked to pick president in the dark" In conclusion the Sun says: The strength which Colonel Roose- welt exhibits today is, between him and Justice Hughes almost altogether the outcome of the lauers persistent shyness in revealing his opinions and if in the long run the colonel becomes the republican nom inee and the next president the future historian will have small difficulty in figuring out the reason for his victory"
 The New York Globe inquires how stubborn Is the determination of the New York delegates to the Chicago convention misrepresent their constitu- ents. For neither MT. Root nor MT Hughes" says the Globe lis there much support of the hard
 
 preparedness parade in New York should be "a suf ficen demonstration of the trend of public opinion The Globe recalls 1912 when the New York leaders and delegation savagely opposed Colonel Roosevelt Yet in the election, in New York City alone he led Mr. Taft by 62OOO votes in spite of strong repub- hcan organization behind the latter, and Colonel Roosevelt with only hastily improvlsed organization. It is plain that the republicans New York preferred Roosevelt then Tt is impossible to judge" says the Globe how great is the preponderance in his favor now when thousands of former Taft supporters are behind his candidacy" Colonel Roosevelt declares the Globe can carry New York and it is a matter of grave doubt whether any other republican candidate can And" observes the Globe "the republican hope or electing president is stronger the hope of carrying New York"
 or the Detroit speech the Brooklyn Eagle says: lf his enemies seek deprecate it as intended for campaign purposes. the obvious retort of thoughtful and impartial readers be that no better or more inspiring platform could possibly be constructed
 It was sincere, dignified, logical and tremen- dously forceful presentation of doctrine which must command the adherence every American worthy of the honor and dignity of citizenship in the republic"
 The New York World esteems Colonel Roosevelt as the least worthy of all those whose names will be brought before the Chicago convention It's editorial and news columns reek with bitterness toward Jim It holds him as the weakest of all candidates But we have the answer to all that The World is the most enthusiastic advocate of President Wilson. It has been of all the great journals of this country the thick-an thin supporter of every administration policy, always blind or silent to administration weakness and blunders, and it knows full we'll that Roosevelt if nominated by the republicans is the one man who running a straight from the shoulder platform of Amercanism, defeat Wilson
