drowning after they had jumped from

the fact that Miss McCann was a

1000 letters containing as many of

however, and declares she will receive

that he is irreproachable as an in
dividual-that he is a staunch patriot.
a good husband. a loyal friend. But
they doubt his capacity for self-cOn-
troll, diStrust his judgment and ques-
tion his conception of presidential du-
ties.
Like the German emperor, he
wishes to meddle in every detail Of
the public service. to control every
department. to rule every official, TO
be both the lawmaker and the eXecu-
tive. TO be the source of power and
to apply it.
Between Mr. RoOsevelt's views of
the presidents duties and the views of
the American people on the subject
there is a very wide difference He
evidently thinks the president of the
United States is sort of dictator.
while the people rightly regard him
merely as their chief magistrate. as
the executive head of the administers
tion. This domineerinG conception OF
his official duties has excited wide
spread resentment among republicans
and has led him TO make mistakes
that would have prevented his nomi-

other available candidate.

Judge c. H. DOnnelly of Woodstock,

came filled with gas. which was in
some unknown manner ignited. and
when William Define, the engineers
assistant, opened the cabin door, an
explosion followed which blew him out
of the boat and into the lake. The
boat then commenced to burn rapidly
and the bystanders. fearing that the
gasoline would explode. pushed it of,
and it drifted out into the lake and
burned to the waters edge before the
gasoline exploded. Define was severe
ly burned. but will recover. The boat
had been used two years and cost
