That Air. Roosevelt has emphatically announced his determination not to seek a second election is well known, but that the pressure to induce him to reconsider this determination is in creasing d3ily is apparent. In all parts of America Air. Roosevelt is being urged' to take another term, the main argument advanced being that the so- called unwritten law against a third term does not apply in his ease. Some friends of Mr. Roosevelt are inclined to take him at his word and are looking elsewhere for Presidential timbers, others just as loyal and sin cere, take the opposite view and de clare that his duty is paramount and that his inclinations or desires have no part in the crisis he is about to face. The Heraid.' to sound the American public on the question of President Roosevelt’s succession, has collected the views of many leaders in varied walks, of life. Those views were ob tained by Broughton Brandenburg in the course of a long inquiry. No man who might be reckoned as a Presiden tial candidate was approached for his opinion.

Alarch C.—Today has been the most exciting day or the prohi bition campaign in this city, and it ended after night in another victory for the antis. The matter was to come before Council this afternon for action, and after the regular business was attended to. the prohibition question, or rather, an ordi nance revoking the saloon license came up. Lawyers were on hand for both sides, but with that exception the meeting was not open to the public. Quite a good deal of time was devoted to discussing the matter, and finally a motion to adjourn was made before the vote was taken. Tho vote resulted in a tie. which was broken by Alayor Roberts. During the meeting, it is said, that Mayor Roberts made a speech in which he was severe in his criticism of the actions of some of the “pro'nis.” Two weeks ago one of the ministers called an unoffelal meeting of the Council and undertook to tic up the Council by a pledge. It is believed that Mayor Rob erts felt stung by being ignored at that time, and he did not fail to express him- j self this afternoon. A unique feature of the contest is that yesterday after Judge Speer’s refusal to issue a temporary restraining order, Judge Robert Mitchell, of the Superior Court, signed such an order at the instance of Attorney Nottingham. When the news reached the city. Revs. Christie and For rester jumned on a midnight train and hurried to Thomaaville waking the Judge up and getting a reversal of the order from him. However, the action of the Council this afternoon in refusing to act upon this matter, made both orders un necessary. It looks more and more like an election will be required to settle the question here, as there is a large element on both sides who do not care to have the law I forced upon them without an expression j of tho people. i MR.
