With Roosevelt an our leuder the republican party will emerge from the fog of uncertainly hut surrounds It at the present time. ; Roosevelt's great strength with the people lies In this thorough knowl edge of men and conditions and his sympathy for the masses. When he was president, I remember that his nowledge of men and conditions In North Carolina was wonderful. I dis tinctly remember when I first met hint nine years ago as the newly elected ongressman from Montana, and he thought it was a queer condition of politics when a North Carolina Quaker should be representing so wild and wooly a constituency, as the state of Montana.

"I also remember that Mr. Roose velt at that time was of the belief that there . were plenty of judicial timber among North uaronna repuoncaim from which to select a federal Judge. Unfortunately his successor did not evidently labor under the same Im pression as did Colonel Roosevelt. "His great strength also lies In th--fnct that all republicans can and will; rally to his standard. Under his for mer leadership there war no factional discord.
