Political effects of Colonel Ttoos
elfs death began to be discussed. In
asmuch as Co'onel Roosevelt had been
mentioned prominently as a possible
residential nominee In 1S20. it was In
evitable that his passing should cause
speculation as to other candidates.
There had been teports that Colonel
Koosevelt would Issue a statement soon
formally announcing his Intention not
to seek the nomination for ITesldent
next year. Nevertheless Democratic
leaders and many Republicans still re
garded him as the prospective Repub

Democratic leaders took the view
that Colonel's Roosevelt's loss left the
Ilepublican party without a leader or
yntential Presidential candidate. '
In the Capitol lobby discussions the
rime of General Pershing- was men
tioned frequently as a possible Repub
lican standard bearer In 1920. Some
1 republican leaders, however, declared
mphatirally that General Pershing
lould not be seriously considered. The
republican opinion generally seemed to
le that there was plenty of time in
vhich to select a candidate and plenty
of material.
In presenting- the formal resolutions

"The characteristic of his life was
his unqualified courage. He was a
man of unlimited courage, of limitless
resources and of unbounded patriotism.
"I look upon him as one of the great
men produced on this continent since
the discovery of America."
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, re
garded as the ex-President's closest
friend in the Senate, in a voice choked
with emotion, said:
"Mr. Roosevelt served hii'country In

He was a great patriot, a great

Representative Ralney, in presenting
the resolutions In the House, said:
"The country has heard with pro
found regret of the death of Theodore
Roosevelt. Those who could not agree
with him politically found in him a
ready foeman, splendidly equipped to
defend the positions he took. He was
a man of tremendous energy, a perfect
engine of force and rendered his coun-
ry splendid service in the Army, as
Governor of our greatest state, as Vice-
President and as President of the
United States. Hla sturdy American-

Representative Hicks, speaking for
the New York Congressional delega-

expression of sorrow.
The life that Just closed was tne
fullest expression of Theodore Roose-
elfs conception of what life should
be." Mr. Hicks said. "He himself has
said: 'The life of duty, not the life of
mere ease, or of mere pleasure, that
is the kind of life which makes great
men Just as It makes a great nation.

"Colonel Roosevelt was one or tne

and of their country; few men have
enjoyed such immense popularity, pop
ularity which has crossed frontiers and
oceans, for his fame was universal.
"France, whose friend he was, will
not forget the ardor with which he
espoused her cause at the hour of her
supreme trial; the noble conviction,
the eloquence, the enthusiasm with
which he spoke of her. She will not
forget his whole family enrolled in

her soil."

Secretary Baker:
"During his long and brilliant career
he touched the public life of America
In more ways than any other of our
public men. His relations to the Navy
and to the Army are of course a part
of the history of those services. . . .
Taken all In all. it Is the close of a
great career, typically American and
marked at every point by loyalty to
American ideals as well as by resist
less energy and determination."
Speaker Clark:
"Ha was one of the most extraordi
nary characters this country has ever
produced. He was the personification
and exemplar of energy. He exercised
his talents and industry in many fields
of human endeavor and in every one
of them was distinguished to a re
markable degree. He had a wonderful
hold on the popular imagination and
will hold a high place and fill much
space in American history."
Representative Cannon of Illinois,
former Speaker:
"Colonel Roosevelt's place in history
will be as one of the great Presidents
of the reDubllc. He kept in closer touch

ROOSEVELTS LAST PUBLIC UTTERANCE PLEADS FOR
TRUE AMERICANISM.
NEW YORK. Jan. . What was the last public statement by Colonel
Roosevelt was read last night at an "all-American concert" here under
the auspices of the American Defense Society, of which he was honor
ary president. '
"I cannot be with you. and so all I can do is to wish you Godspeed,
it read. "There must be no sagging back in the fight for Americanism
merelv because the war is over.
"There are plenty of persons who have already made the assertion
that they believe the American people have a short memory and that
they Intend to revive all the foreign associations which most directly
interfere with the complete Americanization of our people. Our prin
ciple In this matter should be absolutely simple.
"In the first place we should insist that If the immigrant who comes
here does. In good faith, become an American and assimilates himself
to us. he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for
it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed
or birthplace or origin But this is predicated upon the man's becoming
In very fact an American and nothing but an American. '
"If he tries to keep segregated from men of his own origin and
separated from the rest of America, then he isn't doing his part as an
American. There can be no divided alliance at all.
"We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this ex
cludes the red flag, which aymbolixes all wars against liberty and
civilization Just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation
to which we are hostile. We have room for but one language here, and
that is the English language, tor we intend to see that the crucible
turns our people out as Americans end American Nationality, ad not
as dwellers In a polyglot boarding-house and we have room for but
one aoul loyalty, and that is loyalty to the American people."
