Alba tried hard enough. He
went through Holland like an

The more brutal Alba got, the
more stubborn the Dutch got. The
Spanish soldiers were profession

and often they killed. burned and

The Dutch didn't have much of

The rehabilitation and colored

the nomination.
The exact date for the public
announcement is, of course, some
thing Mr.. Roosevelt alone can de-
eide or change his mind about, but
the March 4 date would f1t in with
the plans Of other candidates who
feel in all fairness that they should
be given a chance between then
and June to develop their cam
paigns for the nomination, with the
Roosevelt riddle answered.
Some day the whole idea of Mr..
Roosevelt ever having for one mo-
ment even thought of wishing to
be a third-term candidate may turn
out to be just a big joke perpetrated
on the country by few overzealous
friends in the administration who
never really knew about Mr.. Roose-
velt's deep-seated respect for the
