Woodrow Wilson Democrat, was elected. Col. Roosevelt’s enemies agreed with his friend that his life, Lis cha racter and his writings represented a high type of Americanism, Of Dutch ancestry, born in New York City on October 27, 1858, in a house in Kast Twentieth Street, the baby Theodore was a weakling. He was one of four children who came to Theodore and Martha Bullm-h Roosevelt. The mother was of South ern stock and the father of Northorn a situation which during the early vear of Theodore, Junior's hoyhood was not allowed to interfore with the family life of these children during the Clivil War days. So frail that he was not privileged Lo associate with other poys in his neighborhood, Roosevelt was tutored privately. in New York and during tra vels on which his parents took the children abroad. A porch gymnasium at his home provided him with physi cal exercises with which Ilu-, combatted « troublesome asthma. His father, a wlass importer and a man of means, wius his constant companion; he kept i diary; he read so much history and tictional books of; adventure that he was known as a bhookworm: he took hoxing lessons; he was an amatour aaturalist; and at the age of 17 he cntered Harvard University., There he was not as prominent as some others in an athletic way, as it is not record d that he “made” the baseball and Joothall teams, but his puniv hody had andergone a metamorphosis and he fore graduation he hecame one of the ‘hampion hoxers of the college. This ‘emarkable physical development was 'mphasized by something which took Jdace shortly after he left Harvard in 380. He went to Burope, climbed the datterhorn, and as a result was elect d a member of the Alpine Clubh of ondon.—an organization of men who ad performed notable feats of adven ure. A few months after his graduation, cosevell married Miss Alice Lee of ‘oston, She died in 1884, leaving coe aild, Alice, now the wile of I gire watative Nicholas Longwortl of i, 1 1886 Roosevelt marvied Mics I.d.i crmit Carow, of New York, and to e iive children were born— Edith wothe wite of Dr. Richard Derby, W tour wems, Thodore, Jr. Kermit, rehihald and Quentin, The public career of the man who n bhecome PPresidont hegan not long er he ettt college, His prolession as law but the activities that were »ocome left him no time in which » practice it. In 1882, 1883 and 1884 ' wis elected to the New York State ssembly, where his offorts on behalt CRond government and civil service dorm attracted attention, When the coiablicin National Convention ol 84 was held, in Chicago, he was airman of the New York State dele tion. Atter this experience he dropped at ol politics for two years., Going est, he purchased ranches along the ittle Missouri River, in North Dako oand divided his time bhetween out Q 0 sports, particularly hunting, and terary work. Here he laid the found tion for his series of books. “The vinning of the West” which was pub shied from 1896 to 1889, and of other olumes of Kindred chartacter, Returning to New York he became e Republican candidate for Mayor a 1886, He was defeated.

A year later the Spanish American War broke out. The Roosevelt temperament did not allow the man to retain a deputy Ca hinet position with war offering some thing more exciting, Leonard Wood, now a Major General in France was then President MceKinley's physician and ons of Roosevelt's staunchest friends. The famous Rough Rider were or ganized by Wood and Roosevelt—a band of fighting men the mention of whose name today suggests immedia tely the word “Roosevelt.” They came out of the west-—plainsmen, minors, rough and ready fightors’ who were natural marksmen, and Weod hecame their Colonel and “Teddy” as he came familiarly called by the public, their Lieutenant Colongl. In company with the regulars of the Army they took transports to Cuba, landed at- Santi ago and were soon engaged in the thick of battle, Among the promo tions which this hardy regiment's gallantry brought ahout were those of Wood to Brigadier-General and Roosevelt to Colonel-—and this title ™eodore Roosevelt cherished until the end. Some of the Rough Riders formed the military escort when he was elected President a few years later. When Cuba had been liberated, Rosevelt returned to New York. A gubernatorial campaign was in swing with the Republican Party in need of i capable candidate. Roosevelt was nominated. Van Wyck, his l)emm:m tic opponent, was defected. The re forms Roosevelt had favored as As semblyman he now had the oppor tunity to consummato, 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 Phi ladelpliia in 1900 his party in New York State demanded and attained his nomination for Vico President on the ticket with William McKinley. In Nov cmber of that year this ticket was clected, The policies of MeKinley, Roozevelt endeavored to carry out after he suc ceeded the former upon teh Presid nt's tragic death at the hands of an assassin. Roosevelt retained his pre decessors Cabinet as his own and he ept in office the Ambassadors and Ministers whom MeKinley had ap nointed. As much os two years before Bre Presidential campaign of 1904 itepublican organizations is various States began endorsing him as their ‘\t candidate, It was thus that “the man ol des ting™ idea became associated with his life, Ostensibly, Roosevelt, leaving ¢ Governorship of New York to be come Vice President, was moving for card from State politics into national tics, so his political opponents professed publicly to believe: but it was their secret desire to “shelve” e man and climinate him from pro minece in their own community it was said, that prompted these politi cal toes to obtain for him the Vice Presidential nomination, which be per conally did not desire. | I At the height of his public and poli tical career, during the four years of i the term for which he had been elect "ed, Roosevelt accomplished achieve ments which historians will rank high in the internationsl and industrial progress at the country.
