Upon Roosevelt's return to New York there was a popular demand for his nomination for governor. Previous to the state convention he was nominated by the Citizens' Union, but he declined, replying that he was a Republican. The Democrats tried to frustrate his nomination by attempting to prove that he had lest his legal residence in that state. That plan failed and he was nominated in the convention by a vote of 7": to 218 for Governor Rlack. The campaign throughout the state was spirited. Roosevelt took the stump and delivered many speeches. Iiis plurality was 18,079. As the campaign of 11)00 drew near.

He was certainly regarded an a rnaa of go 3d fighting quaUfle. of determination, plutk and
tenacity. If his c'arsmat'. s had been asked in their s:nior y ar to pick out the one number of the class who would be beht adapted for such service as that which Ir; rendered with the Rough Riders in Cuba, almost with one voice they would have designated Rooi-evelt. In his studies young Roosevelt was looked upr n .' o one of his classmates expresses it "as peculiarly earnest and mature Jn the way in which he took hold of things." Ii )th his fellows and his teat-he: s say he was much above the ave.ag? a3 a student. When he enteicd coil -ge ho had already developel th- ta te for hunting and for natural hh?o y which has since led him so often and so far through fie'd and forest. His rifle and his hunting kit, the skins and trophies of the chase, were the most conspicuous thin.-s in his rooms. His birds he. mountrd himself.

To the policeman it must have seemed like throwing a good chara-c away. I hit it was not Ipioscvclt's way; he struck no blow below the belt. In the governor's chair afterward he gave the politicians whom he fought, and who fought him. the same tetms. They tried thtir best to upset him. for they had nothing to expect from him." I.ut they knew and owned that he fought fair. Their backs were secure. He never tricked thern to gain an advantage. A promise gken by him was alwavs kept to the letter. Assistant Secretary of JVaxfy, Karly in 1S07 he wa.s called by President McKinley to give up his NewYork oflice to become Assistant-Secretary of the Navy. His energy and quick mastery of detail had much to do with the speedy equipment of the navy for its brilliant feats in the war with Spain. It was he who suggested Admiral Dewey for commander of the Asiatic station. Dewey was sometimes spoken of in those days as if he were a kind of fashion-plate. Roosevelt, however, had faith in him. and while walking up Connecticut avenue one day said to Mr. Riis: "Dewey is all right. He has a lion heart. He is the man for the place." No one now doubts the wisdom of hi.s selection, and naval officers agree that the remarkable skill in marksmanship displayed by the American gunners was due to his foresight. He saw the necessity of practice, and he thought it the best kind of economy to burn up ammunition in acquiring skill. A characteristic .story is told regarding Roosevelt's insistence on practice in the navy. Shortly after his appointment he asked for an appropriation of $800,000 for ammunition, powder, and .shot for the navy. The appropriation was made, and a few months later he asked for another appropriation, this time of $500.000. When asked by the proper authorities what had become of the first appropriation, he replied: "Kvery cent of it was spent for powder and

honor of the nomination for Vice-President was refused time and time again by Roosevelt, who felt that he had a great duty to perform a.s governor of New York state.

On the evening of the first day of the convention, Ko.seeit saw Piatt. "My name must not be presented to the convention. he told him. Piatt was mad. and mad clean through; but he acquiesced and Roosevelt returned to his apartment to run Into the arms of the Kansas delegation. "We do not request you to accept the nomination," said State Senator Üurton: "we do not urge you to accept the nomination, but we propose to Issue orders to you. and we expect you to obey them." Throughout the delivery of Mr. Pur ton's remarks. Roosevelt stood, with shoulders square and feet at right angles, his chin occasionally shooting forward, as if he wer on the point of objecting to the argument that ho alone could rescue "litcetliiig Kansas" from dcmagoi'ism and populism Put he waited patiently until the address was ended, and then appealed to the Kansans to take his words at their face value, ami vole for some one of thi candidates. Put bis appeal was useless, for Sen itor Burton, grasping his hand, cougi at nlated him "in advance upon bis nomination and election," and the delegation enthusiastically approved the sentiments. So certain was Kansas that Koosevctt would be the choice of the convention, that it had printed a huge placard, bearing tin? words in large, black type: "K A NS A S I) I : I. K( J AT I ON FIPST TO DKCh.AlU; FOU J O V 1 : II N ( ) It ROOSK V K 11'." And, when the nomination was declared to have occurred, triumphantly carried it about Convention Hall. After his nomination, Roosevelt said: I held out a.s long as I could. I had to give in when I saw the popular sentiment of the convention. I believe it is my duty. Now that it is all over. I want to say that I appreciate fully the sentiment which ;-enip.i tiietl my nomination. 'Che unanimity and enthusiasm of the convention for my nomination never will be forgotten by me. During the political campaign which followed, he traveled 1G.100 miles, flashed through 2.1 states, delivered 451) speeches, containing 800.000 word. and made his appeal -directly to 1,000.000 persons. President Roosevelt lias been a indent of political ecouomy since boyhood, lie has been an omnivorous reader, and has pursued his s'idies with the amp zeal and enery that have-characterized all his acts in civil and military life.

"People and T Events
Death of "JacK" Haxtcrly. The death of John H. Haverly, known all over the country as -Jack" Haverly, nowhere caused more sincere regret than in theatrical circles generally. Mr. Haverly and his "Mastoion Minstrels" always have retained a warm place in the recollections of playgoers. The "Forty Count 'Em Forty" troupe with which Mr. Haverly arried a wave of wholesome laughter across the continent twenty-odd years ago mariied the high tide of American, -tage minstrelsy. It also marked the acme of Mr. Ilaverly's daring and sue-'ess-ful career as a theatrical manager. Though he was at one time tho owner if fix theaters and thirteen road companies, his activities always centered more or less in Chicago, where he made one of his- first successes by leasing the old Adelphi theater in the 70s. Iy the time he had built the Haverly i heater in 1SS0, he w;us in tho llool-tido of his prosperity and was able to make his theater virtually the home of American minstrelsy. He always wa3 noted for the daring nature of his ventures.

Times have changed and the negro minstrels have been superseded by the vaudeville, yet the effects of Mr. Ilaverly's influence on the lighter phases of American theatrical life still are apparent at the present time. Almost every leading manager ;n the stage world of today received a part of his early training under Haverly. Personally he was a delightful companion, honest, straightforward and full of contagious enthusiasm.

Stvallctv's Ejccuse. Dr. Swallow, who was a candidate for the governorship at the last election, nominated by the Prohibition part', has lately come into prominence by certain utterances in his paper concerning Mr. McKinley, which the sentiment of tiie community found distasteful at this time of grief and anger. Dr. Swallow has explained these utterances as having been intended as political comment only, and
not by way of reflection upon the dead President. It is nevertheless felt that whatever criticism may have suggested itself to an opponent of Mr. McKinley regarding his tolerance of his use of wine at public ceremonies
or otherwise was, at the least, utterly untimely. Dr. Swallow and those who subscribe to his tenets are in no different position, however, to many other unreflecting persons to whom no occasion is grave enough to overcome a detail of profession of practice in which they may be particularly interested. The tolerance of the community Is apt to ignore their untimely speeches "and to forgive the authors, says Philadelphia Times.
