The leaders busted themselves most of the day
with correspondence. taking time to talk with
many politicians who dropped in TO discuss
work in the campaign. Mr.. Hanna coutradicteo
a report that he had criticised Governor Roose-
velt's ST. Paul speech in conversation with the
Governor on Monday. There is no truth in the
report" he said The man who invented the
yarn could make an incandescent light burn by
putting end of the wire in cucumber Inc
Governor called on me. and we went over the
campaign and the part he will take in It, AND
you can bet he will take very large part in it,
We discussed speeches-his speeches, with others
but not any particular speech that can re-
call. This talk of a quarrel between Governor
Roosevelt and me is all bosh."

can State headquarters in the morning and
Chairman Odell accompanied them to National
headquarters. Senator Hanna and Mr.. Odell
had "A talk and then Mr. Odel spent nearly an
hour talking with Mr.. Bliss Later, when Mr.

in his call at National headquarters, he said:
sThere is no significance at all. We just talked
over the general campaign. the arrangement of
SPEAKERS, the campaign in this State and other
States. I will have those conferences with Sem
ator Hanna nearly every day, and there is no
significance in them-just a general talk over
our work"
