Manning, who says:
''The magazine assailant of Mr.. PIatt
charges him with the love OF power 1t
is silly charge Who does not love
power and the exercise of it? The de-
sire Of power is one Of the great springs
that moves the world and spurs human

New York city were it not for Thomas
G. Platt. PIatt and his friends gave Low

made Roosevelt governor.
''If it were not for Thomas c. Platt
Theodore Roosevelt would today be down
and not at the White house
when he lays down the sceptre of
power in New York Republican politics
it will be a dark day for the Republican
party. Principles will of course live and
triumph but the guiding hand Of the
great master and political captain can
not fail to be missed"
This declaration is also made:
'Modesty is one of Mr.. Platt's most
marked characteristics"
