Theodore Roosevelt is again a can- didate for the presidency. He has announced his intention to contest fora third term/in the presidential chair. The announcement was made public Sunday in an open letter to the seven Republican governors who solicited to the Colonel to again enter the lists. In a manner characteristically ego- tistical, Mr. Roosevelt implies that he has decided to make the race “in the interests of the people’ and against personal preferences. Roosevelt in November, 1904; ‘The wise custom which limits a president to two terms is in regard to the sub- stance and not the form, and in no circumstances will I be a candidate, or accept another nomination. Roosevelt in December, 1907: “I have not changed and will not change the decision thus announced.”’ OVERTAXED. Hundreds of Butler Readers Know What it Means. The kidneys are overtaxed.

Dillon of near Passaic, Seo» retary of the Bates County Demo- cratic Committe, was a Butler visitor Wednesday and made The Times a most pleasant call.
