Roosevelt on State Ballot In Nebraska Petition Seeks Roosevelt Primary
In Lincoln Nebraska a petition asking Theodore Roosevelt be placed on the Republican presidential primary ballot was filed with Secretary of State Waite by John O Yelser of Omaha and 25 voters. Governor Aldrich said Roosevelt would be a formidable factor if he entered the race. Yelser declined to say if Roosevelt authorized the filing but said he had been in correspondence with the ex president. Nebraska law binds delegates to vote for the candidate with the highest popular vote though enforcement could fail if delegates disregard it. Separately in New York Taft received assurance of county support from Samuel Koenig, while Koenig said Roosevelt was not a 1912 candidate and Taft did not meet Roosevelt during today’s visit.
