The President of the United States has made his decision. He has agreed to run out of a sense of duty and because the American people want him to run. There is no doubt that the decision-making process has been skillfully exploited by the Republican Party but purely partisan pressure did not prompt the President's final word. It was never doubted that he would make "the great decision" solely in terms of his duty, as he sees it. "The Nation" is glad that the President has decided to run again. Little purpose would be served in itemizing the traits and qualities of the President which prompt this preference.
