For Presidential Nomination

"IIe is the master Of his party IA
New York, independent Of an ma
chimes" says the New York Sun (inds-
pendent), adding: HE stays as the
chief executive Of the greatest State,
with . clear mandate. We shall see
what he makes of his power and his
gifts" The Manchester Union Cinde-
pendent Republican, reviews the party
situation with the statement: Every
political Nature take her course. Thanks
to the election results, he Is today easily
the outstanding figure among the men
toned for the honor Of being the
Democratic standardbearer In the next
campaign. He doesn't need to do any
thing to focus attention Of his party
upon him. There n enough talk Of and
for Roosevelt in 1882 70 serve the pur-
poses Of q real candidacy. Not that
other party leaders are altogether OBJ
scured. There Is Gov. Ritchie of Mary
land. for instance, O man Of ability,
four times elected chief executive Of his
State, prominent champion Of the
wet cause long before Gov. Roosevelt
became committed 70 the idea of pro-
hihition revision. There Is Senator
Robinson, who ought to be able to COM
nand quite q lot Of backing, and there
Is former Senator Reed Of Missouri, who
has an eye on the nomination and can
be, on occasion, bitter figilter Tor
what he wants. There or, rising lights
IN the Democracy in Ohio and Con-
hecticut and other States. But none
Of them, as II happens. shines as bright

"A more vigorous policy in exposing
Tammany corruption and In bringing

"a splendid tribute to an admirable
and able man" Is seen by the Little
Rock Arkansas Democrat (DemocraD,
while the Schenectady Gazette (inde-
pendent Democracy pays the tribute:
1.-THE people gave the emphatic stamp
OF approval to the forward-looking pro-
gram which he either has sponsored or
has pushed TO successful conclusion.
They admittedly admire his frankness,
his rugged honesty, his ability and his
determination to represent them to the
best Of his ability" His personal
triumph Is pointed out also by the
Asbury Park Evening Press (inde-
pendent Democracy, while the Albany

The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin
independent Republican, refers TO
Gov. Roosevelts emphasis on the power
issue, and holds that this must be
given q leading place in any study Of
his victory" The Bulletin adds: ct
