Organize to Force Roosevelt
to Accept Nomination.
Chicago, III., Feb. 10. — A im-
manent committee was organized
here today to push the candidacy
of Theodore Rooseveit for the Re-
publican presidential nomination
at an informal conference of eight
governors and representatives
from twenty eight states. The
Governors addressed a letter to
Col. Roosevelt, in which they ex-
plained the purpose of the meet-
ing and asked him to let it be
known that if the people demand
that he accept the nomination,
the demand will not be unheeded
b.v him. The meeting was with-
out disagi eminent and resolutions
adopted declare that “all are
agreed that Theodore Roosevelt
is the one man who can, at this
time, unite all elements of the
party and attract a largo numlier
of independent voters."
The suggestion that a Roose-
velt enthusiasm convention la*
held prior to the Republican Na
I tional convention wa* referred to
a committee. If the plan is
agreed to, Cincinnati will proba-
bly b<> selected as the meeting
place. Alexander H. Revel was
made chairman of the orgnniza-
! lion.
