more striking phases of hie varied, in
teresting and "atrenuous” life to re
call to tbe peblic mind details of his
many snplolU snd experiences.
Called to the White House Is 1901
after President McKinley had been
assassinated, Colonel Koosevell. 42
yean of age, became th* youngest
President the United State* has evei
had. Three year later he was elected
aa President by the largast popular
vote a Preeidsat ha* received.
Thus Roosevelt, sums times caned

years ss the nation’s Chief Magistrate.
In a subsequent decade the fortune!
of politics did not favor him. for, a

powers of a signal order and conduct
ed the affairs of those various offices
with s concentration of effort and a
watchful ear* which permitted no di
vergence from his line of duty he had
definitely set for himself.
"In the war With Spain hs display
ed singular initiative and energy and
distinguished himself among ths com
manders ef the army in the field. As
Presldsnt he awoke the nation to tee
dangers of private control which lurk
ed in our financial and industrial sys
