DETERMINATION IS
ONE OF ROOSEVELT'S
TRAITS OF CHARACTER
ALBANY, N. Y., Nov. 26, (>T*>—
There is a streak of determination
in President-elect Franklin D.
Roosevelt that might be called
stubbornness.
Early in the presidential cam
paign virtually all of his advisers
tried to persuade him to make few
trips and none of them long. He
listened and went ahead studying
time tables. In the face of circu
lated stories that candidates who
made long trips seldom won, the
Governor continued to arrange
schedules.
He eventually went on one of
the longest trips any candidate ever
took.
Discussing the effort to dissuade
him from making extended jour
neys he said:
“They forget I am Dutch and
stubborn, and besides, I like to
travel.”
The same was true of the air
plane journey to Chicago to accept
the nomination. Mr. Roosevelt had
had such a trip in mind for months.
He saw that such a journey would
get the campaign away to a run
ning start; would give his candida
cy a dramatic aspect at once and
would counteract any comment re
garding his physical condition.
The Roosevelt leaders at Chica
go made the wires hum trying to
discourage the trip. Curtis Dali,
his son-in-law, advised him the
sentiment was against it.
When all efforts to halt him fail
ed, Henry Morganthau, Jr., one of
his closest friends, succeeded in ef
fecting a compromise. Mr. Roose
velt agreed to go to Chicago by
train if he were nominated early
enough in the afternoon to enable
him to reach Albany the next morn
ing.
But, as his nominaiton came af
ter the dinner hour and after the
last train had left Albany, he had
to fly to the convention city.
QUITO, Ecuador. Nov. 26.—All
male citizens of this country be
tween the ages of 20 and 25 years
were ordered to register for mili
tary service, by a presidential de
cree, net later than December 15.
The men will be held as military
reserves to assist the regular army
of 1.000 officers and 4,000 privates
if the country is drawn into war,
which appears very probable.
