PLATT AND TEDDY
Roosevelt is Man of Presidential
Size

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-Platt has sew
eral reasons for nominating Theodore
Roosevelt for governor, which may as
sumo great national Importance. The
surface purpose is to give the party in
the state the advantage of war hero
as candidate, and to deprive the dem
ocrats at home of the campaign thun-
der they had ready about the doings OF
of Blacks administration.
More important to Platt, however, is
that he attaches himself to man of
presidential size. In 1900 if for any
reason Mckinley should not be an
available candidate, Roosevelt with his
war record and as governor of New
York might we'll aspire to the nOmina-
ton. II Mckinley receives the nomi-
nation for second term, Platt's pro-
gram is good for 1904.
Meantime, politicians say Platt. can
afford to let Roosevelt be just as inde-
pendent as he wishes to be, solely re-
tanning his good will. Platt will be at the
head of the state republican organizs-
ton whoever is governor. For the fu-
ture Platt, it is said, will not be averse
to taking Mark Hsnna's job as chair
man of the national republican COM

Major r. E. Mills of the adjutsnt gen.
erals Office, who came from
ST. Louis here on the train, says it was
held up for an hour and 20 minutes at

of sergeant, two coporals, quarter
master sergeant, and fourteen privates
of company f, who forced the
engineer at the point of the bayonet to
leave his engine, and took possession of
the train shortly before it was sched-
uled. They declared they were going
to Kansas City on the train.
The conductor told them that it was
a mail train and he did not have room
for them and could not take but a part
of them. Sergeant South erlsnd order

"The greatest trouble seems to have
arisen from the neglect OF sanitary

The blame for sickness rests first on
the colonels, then on up to the highest
