ROOSEVELT A CANDIDATE; WILL SEEK NOMINATION.

Replies to Governors That He Will A Ak&Mo 4a fliwtlalnw TTmtfl r*AUVMI>Atllierfy w Hvwwß vIHK vWnt»* • fion Meets in Jane, fr 7 —*? As many had thought probable for some time Theodore Roosevelt has announced himself as an avowed candidate for the Republican nomination for President ’• I _V i . Some time ago seven Republican governors met and started a boom for Roosevelt. They informed him of their action and Asked him to reply, staling his position. He gave out the following letter for publication Monady: New York, Feb. 24, 1912. “Gentlemen: I deeply appreciate your letter, and I realize to the full the heavy responsibility it puts upon me, expressing as it does the carefully considered convictions of the men elected by popular vote to stand as the heads of government in their several states. “I absolutely agree with you that this matter is not for one to be decided with any reference to the personal preferences or interests of any man, but purely from the standpoint of the interests of the people as a whole. “1 will accept the nomination for President if. it in tendered to me, and I will adhere to this decision until the convention has expressed its preference. “One of the chief principles for which I have stood and for which I now stand, and which I have always endeavored and always shall endeavor to reduce to action, is the genuine rule of the people, and, therefore, I hope that, so far as possible, the people may be given the chance, through direct primaries, to express preference as to who shall be the nominee of the Republican presidential convention. Very truly yours, “THEODORE ROOSEVELT. The governors who started the boom and to whom he addressed his reply are Glasscock, of West Virgina; Aidrich, of Nebraska; Bass, of New Hampshire; Carey, of Wyoming; Osborne, of Michigan; tubbs, of Kansas; and Hadley, of Missouri.

Shot a Big Wolf on the Otis Ranch In Jasper County.

Richard Peterson, son of the foreman of the big Otis ranch between s*air Oaks and Roselawn, in Jasper county, was in town today to claim the bounty on a big wolf scalp, which he shot Monday. Peterson was out duck hunting and not having any success in finding ducks he put three loads of buckshot in his gun to be prepared for bigger game should he meet it. At the edge of a woods he came across the wolf. When he saw It, it was about 35 steps away and started to run. Peterson biased away. The first two shots struck the wolf in the foreleg, but did not stop his flight, and he moved about twenty feet when the third load struck him in the head and brought him down. The county auditor punched the ears of the bide and gave It back to Peterson. He will get $lO bounty for killing the wolf and before he left town he sold the . hide to Charley Stephenson for $3, which paid* him well for his morning’s work. Peterson« thinks there are a number of these animals on the ranch, or near-by, as a number of young ones were seen last fall on the ranch.

E. L. Hollingsworth went to Elkhart a day or two ago and this morning D. S. Makeever and B. Forsythe, .the other members of t ehCommercial Club committee, accompanied by W. R. Meguire and Geo. H. Healey, the latter going at the solicitation of the match company officers, went to Elkhart, where they will be joined by W. W. Sterling and Mr. Hollingsworth and all together will go to North Baltimore, Ohio, to look over the match factory, which it is proposed to move to Rensselaer. . Rev. Peter Hines, a former resident of Jasper county, died at his home in Little Rock, Ark., February 13th, of pneumonia. Rev. Hines lived in this county in the early nineties. He was a minister of the Baptist church and had charge of a church In Milroy township during most of his residence here. He came,here from Shelby county and bought the former Cleveland farm north of town, which he disposed of later. He also lived in Rensselaer for a few months.

Large Audience Was Delighted With Landon Character Delineations.

Monday night’s number of the Epworth League lecture course was one of the very best that has even been given here and the large audience was kept in a constant twitter of delighted appreciation. The evennig’s entertainment was in the hands of Sidney Landon, a character delineator, whose introductory remarks, clever little stories, light reasoning and brief descriptions as well as his character representations were approved by every member of the Mr. Landon undertakes the most difficult impersonations in depicting members of “Uncle Sam’s Family” and all of them are well known types, with many of whom we have come in contact either directly or by familiarity with their works. He gave brief biopraphical sketches of Mark Twain, Edgar Allen Poe, Bill Nye and Henry Wordsworth Longfellow, as he deftly applied the facial paints and donned the hair and beard of the characters and then recited some selection in which the author had taken a deep heart interest. Naturally with Poe he selected “Annabelle Lee” and with Longfellow “The Psalm of Life” and so much feeling did he put into his rendition of these beautiful verses that the auditor could almost think himself to be listening directly to those talented and devoutly admired personages With a voice capable of conformity to the characters and with every movement suggesting the mourner of the one he impersonated, Mr. Landon proved a deep and intelligent understanding of the great characters he depicted, and also a heart and a mind that has found the very essence of good and the living and lasting qualities that make the man even greater than the works they performed. * The diversity of Mr. Landon was shown in his clever burlesque of modern characters, In which lie proved that man should not be led from a field in which he has attained- success by his ambition to enter other fields, and also that much of the modern education given singers and elocutionists make them quite ridiculous.

Mr. Landon’s visit, to Rensselaer will long be remenibered as affording bis audience the opportunity of seeing Edgar Allen Poe, Henry Wordsworth Longfellow, Samuel L. Clemens and Edgar Wilton Nye in the rendition of their most popular works, and should he ever Come to Rensselaer again he will doubtless find himself confronted by a capacity house.
