Estimates Of the standing Of Franklin
d. Roosevelt as Q result of the New
York election range from expressions of
certainty that he win be the Democratic
candidate for President In 1892 to
recognition that he is among the lead
ing contenders for the position Of
Democratic standardbearer. A few adj
verse judgments are based upon his
failure to take certain steps in relation
to corruption that has been charged to
Tammany influence. In such estimates
| 1t Is commended that Endorsement in New
York does not assure similar support in
other States.
Voicing its enthusiastic approval, the
Oklahoma City Olzlahoman (independ-
ent) says: He is the outstanding Gov
ernor Of the country and the outstand-
ing man in his party. His reelection
by the largest majority ever cast for q
gubernatorial candidate in his State has
caught the popular imagination and set
people to talking and thinking Of him
In every precinct In Amarica. There Is
no American alive today whose political
future carries with it more promise"
His victory means his nomination
for President in 1882 by the Democratic
National Convention, probably on the
first ballot" in the opinion ofNthe Jer-
Sey City Journal independent Aepubii-
CAM, while the Port Huron Hines
Herald independently holds that there
is, to many, practical assurance Of his
nomination" as certainly he has an
outstanding lead for the place at the
head Of his party in 1882" The Los
that his reelection as an open and
avowed advocate of repeal of the eight
zenith amendment practically insures his
nomination for President on the Demo-
cratic ticket" The Yakima Daily Re-
public Independently concludes that
unless the disclosures over the sale Of
judicial offices in Tammany put New
York Democracy as whole In disre-
pute, Franklin D. RooSevelt's name viii
appear at the head Of the ticket"
"Will the election Of Roosevelt with
such q tremendous majority of all the
votes cast be received by the Democrats
of the country as notice that he must
be nominated as the party candidate
for the presidencyP" asks the Utica
Observer Dispatch independently, offer
ing as It's own answer: I'VE believe that
it will; although nothing Is certain as to
the political lineup at the end of the
next 10 months" The Atlanta Journal
(Democratic) calls his victory, "by an
unparalleled majority, nothing short Of
epoch-marking
That he is the leading contender Is
the verdict of the Providence Journal
Independently, the Minneapolis Star
independently the Jackson Citizen
Patriot Independently, the San Fran
cisco Chronicle Independently, and the
Memphis Commercial Appeal (Demo-
cratic). The Asheville Citizen Times
Independent Democratic) calls him
''far and away the party's most power
full vote-getter," and adds that 50 cam
didate who can be reasonably sure Of
carrying New York State for the presi-
dency has long start on any potential
rival" The Charlotte Observer (inde-
pendent Democratic) points out that Gin
all discussions the Roosevelt candidacy
for Governor was the proposition that
upon his success depended the prob
ability of his nomination as the Demo-
cratic standardbearer in the next ma
tional campaign"
His triumph puts him nearer his
party's nomination" AYERS the Scranton
Times (Democratic), while the Hart
ford Times independent Democratic)
maintains that "his success not only
heartens his party everywhere, but
places him in the forefront for Demo-
cratic presidential consideration in
1882" The Uniontown Herald Repub-
liean) states that in his success The
went far toward nominating himself as
the Democratic presidential candidate"
The Pasadena Star-News (Republican)
asserts, Franklin d. Roosevelt Is re-
elected by a landslide, and he becomes
q stronger factor than ever in the Dem
ocrAtic race In 1882" The Buffalo
Evening News (Republican1 comments:
