Why People Like Roosevelt

Pullman porter tells his experiences in the American Magazine. Among oth- CT things he says:
 No one can help liking MT. Roose- welt, of course. He is a great one for picking up information; and at election time he would always say to me, We'll George, do I win or lose this year? And I picked him every time. If I could pick horses as well as that I'd have returned with fortune long ago.
 All the porters like Roosevelt be- cause he is so democratic. Some people think it is a pose on his part, but my friend on the Merchants Limited was telling me the other day about when Roosevelt was only police commissioner in New York, some 20 years ago.
 Tn those days they had buffet cars, and 1t sometimes took an hour and a half to get your lunch. But Roosevelt didn't complain. He'd say, Feed the others, Gene; they're hungrier than I am. When they're through you can take care of me-. It is little things like that that make Roosevelt so popular'
