SHOCKED CAPITAL 7 Washington, Jan. 6.—The death of Col. Roosevelt stirred and shocked the capital.

Roosevelt and providing for committees to attend the EFFECT ON POLITICS Even leaders who were most distressed to hear of Col. Roose- velt’s death could not prevent being drawn into discussions of the funeral. possible effect of this event on the everyone agrees will be tremendous. present political situation, which Col. Roosevelt, it is under- stood, was about to issue a formal statement in which he would deny that he was a candidate for the Republican nomination in 1920. Democratic leaders, however, continued to regard him as their probable opponent for the presidency. Some consider that the colonel’s death may result in healing ancient wounds in Republican ranks. In Republican circles the name of General Pershing is‘mentioned as a probable standard- bearer in 1920. Some leaders, however, declared that General Pershing could not be considered as possible presidential timber. Democratic politicians insist that the death of Col. Roosevelt leaves his party without a leader. In Republican circles there is a disposition to believe that there is still plenty of time in which to consider qualifications of possible candidates for the presidency CABLE PRESIDENT WILSON An announcement was cabled Pres. Wilson as soon as it-reached the White House, when the flag over the executive mansion was in 1920. lowéred to half mast.

REMOVED FROM HOME Col. Roosevelt’s last illness may be said to date from last Feb- ruary. On February 5, it was announced that he had been re- moved from his home in Oyster Bay to the Roosevelt hospital here, following an operation on his ear.

Called to the White House in 1901 after President McKinley had been assassinated, Col. Roosevelt, 42 years: of age, became the youngest President the United States has ever had. Three years later he was elected as President by the largest popular “vote’a president has’ received. Thus Roosevelt, sometimes called a man of destiny, served for “decade the fortunes of Holt seven years as the nation’s, chief magistrate. j did <tidt favor him, for,’ again a * candidate for president—this time leading the Progressive party which he himself has organized when he differed radically with some of the policies of the Republican party in 1912—he went down to defeat, together with the Republican candidate, William Howard Taft. Woodrow Wilson, Democrat, was elected. Col. Roosevelt’s enemies agreed with his friends that his life, his character and his writings represented a high type of Ameri- canism. Of Dutch ancestry, born in New Yory City on Oct. 27, t58, in a house in East 20th street, the He was one of four children who came to Th baby Theodore was a weakling. eodore and Martha Bulloch Roosevelt. He was one of Southern stock and the father of Northern, a situation which during the early years of The- odore, Junior’s boyhood, was not allowed to interfere with the family life of these children during the Civil War days. . Frail in Youth So frail that he was not privileged to associate with the other boys in his neighborhood, Roosevelt was tu- tored privately, in New York and dur- ing travels on which his parents took the children abroad. A porch gym: naslum at his home provided him with physical exercises with which he combated a troublesome asthma. His father, a glass importer and a man of means, was’ his constant companion; | he kept a diary; he read so much his} tory and fictional books of adventure} that he was known as a bookworm; he took boxing lessons; ;he was an amateur naturalist; and at the age of 17 he entered Harvard University. There, he was not as prominent as| some others in an athletic way, as it is not recorded that he “made” the ‘baseball and football teams, but his; puny body had undergone a meta- morphosis' and before graduation he became one of the champion boxers of the college: This remarkable phys- ical development was emphasized by something which took place shortly sfter he left Harvard in 188. He went to Europe, climbed the Matter- horn, aud.as a result was elected 2 member of the ‘Alpine club of Lon- don—and organiaztion of men who had performed notable feats of ad-/ nig venture. Married Alice Lee Boston _& few months after his graduation, osevelt_ married Miss Alice Lee of Boston. She died in 1884, leaving one eliild;Alice, now the wife of Repre- sentative ‘Nicholas ‘Longworth of Ohio. In 1886 Roosevelt married Miss tional convention of 1884 was held, in Chicago, he was-chairman of the New York state delegation. After this experience he dropped out of politics for two years. Going west, he purchased ranches along the Little Missouri river, in North Dako: ta, and divided his time between out: door sports, particularly hunting, and literary work. Here he laid the found- ation for his series of books, “The Winning of the West,” which was pub- lished from 1886 to 1896, ond of oth- er volumes of kindred character. Candiate for Mayor Returning to New York he became the Republican. candidate: for mayor, in 1886. He was defeated. Presi- dent ‘Harrison in 1839 appointed him {a member of the United States civil service commission and President Cleveland continued him in this of- fice, which he resigned. in 1895 to be- come New York cityq’s police commis- sioner. “A thing ‘that attracted me to this office,” Roosevelt said at the time he accepted this appointment, “was that it was to be.done in the hurly-burly’ for 1 don’t like cloister life.” ‘Hoan- esty was the watchword. of this ad- ministration, and the two years’. of occupancy. became memorable through the reforms he inaugurated, attracting the nation’s attention while holding a position which was obscure in comparison with the events to come.

The reforms Roosevelt had favored as Assembly- man he now had the opportunity to consummate, together with others of more importance, and it was during this administration that he is said first to have earned the hostility of corporations. When the Republican national convention was held in Phila- delphia in 1900. his party in New York state demanded and attained his nom- ination for vice president on the tick- et ‘with William McKinley. In No- vember of that year this ticket was elected. The policies of McKinley, Roose- .

Roosevelt retained his predecessor's cabinet as his own and he kept in office the ambassadors and ministers whom ‘McKinley had ap- pointed. As much as two years be- fore the presidential ‘campaign of 1904 Republican organizations in var- fous states began endorsing him as their next candidate. It was thus that “the many of des- tiny” idea became associated with his ife. Ostensibly, ‘Roosevelt, leaving the governorship“of New York to. be- come vice president, was moving for- ward from state polltics into national politics, so his.political opponents pro- fessed publicly to believe; but ‘it was their secret desire to “shelve” the man and liminate him from promi- nence in their own community, it was said, that prompted these political foes to obtain for him the vice presi- dential nomination, which he person- ally did not desire. At the height of his public and poli- tical career, during the four years of Roosevelt accomplished achievements which historians will rank high in the international and industrial progress conduct- dd peace nainten- ed at Portsmouth, N. ff, ett ‘between Russia and Japan were in- terested in the affairs of Venexuela; the recognition of Panama as a revub- Me and’ his’ treaty with Panda by whith the ‘ititer-oceanic canal throaeh that county was: put nider way: and the settlement, through his moral in- fhience in the face of a ‘situnticn in which there was no adequate federal legislation of the Pennsylvania . coal velt hefore the public eye.’ During fhe, presidential campaign of 1912 a Michi- gan edithr charged him with intoxica- tion, Rodsevelt instituted a” suit for libet' and marshalled a‘ notable host: of witnesses’ to testify regarding his priv- ate life ‘and. habits. Their. testimony Was’ so ‘overwhelming’ that the charge was: withdrawn in open court and the jury brought in a nominal’ yerdict of six cents in favor of the ex-president. William Barties, JrJ., of Albany, N. Y., acused Roosevelt ‘in 1914 of uttering libel in a,statementiasserting that the “rottenness”. ‘of the New. York state government - was due directly to the dominance ‘of Tanimany hall in’ poli- tics; aided’ by Mr,/Barnes and his fol- lowéts.’ At Syracuse} N.

In. speeches throughout the country and in his magazine and newspaper ‘writings he criticized, in this respect, the policies of Woodrow Wilson‘ during Mr. Wilson's first term as_president. Bi Mr. Roosevelt,.it has been said, was keenly disappointed when he did not. receive the republican nomination for president. in 1916. As the same time, however, he refused to follow the ad- vice’ of some of his staunchest follow- ers that he again head the progressive party ticket. ° ferd, he prevailed up- on. the progvégsive party to make Charles Evans: FRighes, the :tepublican candidate, its choice, + He cam- paigned for MriyHughes.

The ex-president's influence had been large in placing Mr. Taft in the white house. Now his influence was equally strong in’ preventing Mr. Taft from remaining there. Men who had clashed with the Taft policies quickly rallied to Roose- velt’s support. Roosevelt assembled what he termed as constructive ideas aS opposed: to the conservative ones of the so-called republican “old guard,” characterized them with the descrip- tion “progressive” and organized the progressive party by withdrawing with his followers from the Chicago conven- tion of 1912. He became the new party’s candidate for president. This split in the republican ranks resulted in Woodrow Wilson’s election. One ‘of the most dramatic incidents in Roosevelt's life ocurred during this campaign, As he was leaving a hotel in Milwaukee to go to a meeting hall to make a political address, a man standing among the spectators in the street fired a shot which struck the colonel and’ smashed a rib. Roosevelt insisted’ he was not seriously hurt and his automobile conveyed him to the hall. There he spoke to an audience which had knowledge of what had hap- pened—sobbing women and grave- faced men shaken with emotion by his appearance under such. circumstances.

Though he speedily recov- ered the bullet was never removed. The assassin was sent to an asylum for the insane. Devoted to Literary Work. Roosevelt, after leaving the white house devoted his: life Jargely to lit- erary work, hunting and exploration. He became contributing editor to’ The Outlook in 1909, continuing this for five years, and later held editorial posi- tions with The Metropolitan. and -the Kansas City Star. From 1882 to 1917 he published, about 50. volumes of works covering the wide range of paval history, hunting, biography, the Rough WANTED TO GO TO FRANCE With the United States a belligerent, Roosevelt endeavored to obtain the con- sent of the war department to estab- Ush an army division which he was anxious to take to France. ‘ This’ divi- sion ‘was tg have included many of the Rough Riders who were his associates in. the campaign in Cuba, and younger mén of the:sawe strenuans habits. The necessary sion for the formation of such a forcé was not forthcoming even though Roosevelt expressed will- ingaess to necompany it as a subor- dinate officer. DENIED PRIVILEGE One of Roosevelt’s participations in nublie affairs took him to Washington in January, 1918, when he conferred with United States Senator George E. Chamberlain of Oregon and other mem- bers of congress who were critical of the administration’s methods of prdse- cyting- the war. “Roosevelt on this oc- casion announced his support of the proposel that a war cabinet ‘be organ- ized to take over the conduct of the war, Denied the privilege of fighting for his flag, Theodore Roosevelt’s interest was centered on his family's. partici- pation in the war. His four sons and his son-in-law, Dr. Derby, carried out a prediction made hy the former presi- dent before the United States took up arms—that if war came they would enter the servicé. Théodore, IJr., be- came a major and Archibald a captain, both in France; Quentin entered a French aviation squadron. in which service he was killed on the western front some few months ago, and Dr. Derby the medical service, also both in France. Kermit, failing to pass a physical examination which would ad- mit him to the United States army, re- ceived a commission in the British army and was soon in Mesopotamia. Roosevelt took keen pride in the service button he wore with its five stars. Talking with newspaper men some- months after his boys had gone abroad, he told them privately that Theodore had written him that he had. been in action and that a bullet had struck his trench helmet and glanced off. -Theodore wrote him, his father said, that he regretted he had not been, wounded just’ for the experience. At the time of this conversation, public announcement had just been made that. “Archie” had been jumped in rank from. second lieutenant to captain. Riders, Americanism, Nationalism, ‘con- servation of womanhood and childhi animals, exploration, the world war and America’s participation in it, and his autobiography. His hunts for big gameé-dnd lis zest for exploration took him into the American west, theibeart of: Africa and the wilderness of Brazil. Roosevelt confided with glee to his lis- teners that “Archie” had led a raiding party out into No.Man’s, Land at night, and that the promotion had been won by gallantry. under. fire during this raid. The colonel disclosed further that Kermit, fighting with the Anglo- Indian forces, also had been urider fire, as the leader of “a troop of Whirling Detvishes,” Indian cavalry.
