Not Much Praise For Theo. Roosevelt
Since the assembling of the republican national convention in Chicago greater evidence than ever has been manifested of how the people of Americus are interested in the event. Many inquiries are received daily at The Times-Recorder office relative to the work of the convention.
Although many speak of Roosevelt in connection with their inquiries, it is plain that they rather fear than like him. The work of the convention is manifestly being followed here with very great interest by a large number of the people here. It is by no means true that as the convention is a republican gathering the democrats here are not interested in it.
On the other hand, it is manifestly true that the convention at Chicago is attracting very wide attention among local democrats who are considering first the workings of the republican convention before they have an opportunity of observing who the democrats will nominate at Baltimore.
