NATION MOURNS DEATH OF
EX-PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT

Colonel Theodore Rooselevt. the
twenty-sixth president of the United
States and one of the most forceful
figures in American public life, died
at his country home at Sycamore Hill
last Monday morning, death being
sudden and was caused by blood clot
on the heart.
Colonel Roosevelt, statesman, sol
dier and author and twenty sixth
president of the United States, was
the most spectacular and picturesque
figure that ever appeared upon the
.tage of American public life.
For upwards of thirty years
Colonel Roosevelt was in the public
eye in one role or another and he was
perhaps the best known man OF his
Gay. A man of tremendous person
ality, his magnetism won him a host
+ cs followers who stuck by him
through the UPS and downs OF his
long and historic political career. He
was born in New York on October
( 27, 1858, being the second son of
Theodore Roosevelt, a merchant and
( philanthropist. The colonel could
trace his American ancestry back to
1914. when the first of the Roosevelt
family came to this country from
Holland
Colonel Roosevelt turned to poll
ties as soon as he graduated from
Harvard in 1880 and his aptitude for
public life made itself apparent at
once. He worked his way through
the New York state assembly and the
governorship to the vice presidency
Of the United States and finally be-
came the 26th president in 1901
The colonel was not elected to his
first tenure OF the presidency, having
succeeded President Mckinley when
the latter was assasinated by an an
+ archist in Buffaio. New York. But
in 1904 he was elected prsident Al
the popular choice of the people.
