Theodore Roosevelt considers a presidential nomination for Major Parker to be an impossibility. Parker would not receive one delegate if Roosevelt dedicated all his efforts on Parker’s behalf. The only recent military men who have received political consideration are Generals Leonard Wood and George W. Goethals. Roosevelt does not expect to be nominated but may have influence on the final candidates before the convention.
