With the Republican party divided as never before, and the Democrats almost equally undecided, the situation was at least unique: but now at the eleventh hour comes Roosevelt’s declaration that if sufficiently urged he will be a candidate.

W’ith Roosevelt, the situation is: come hack or be an ‘ is-waser’—and you know that Roosevelt’s dictionary doesn’t have the word ‘was.’ ” However that may be, it would seem this year the Repub lican party will have the fight of its life in retaining its supremacy, and there can be little doubt but that its c h a n c e s •atam "Ballava ma, you osuldn’t make that bunch hear you with 0 cannon — Thorndike In Boltlmoro Amarioon. would be strengthened with the irresistible, though changeable Colonel at the head of its ticket.
