ROOT FOR GOVERNOR
PLEASES THE WEST

oyster Bay n. Y, July 26-It is a
remarkable fact that the interest dis
played in the West surrounding the
gubernatorial contest in New York is
intense and growing daily.
The feeling becomes more remarkable
when it is known that the demand
out there is general that Elihu Root
be the candidate on the Republican
ticket. Nebraskans as well as Repub-
licans throughout that section of the
West believe that Mr.. Root would
strengthen the ticket in this State.
Senator Millard, Of Nebraska. came
here yesterday for a chat with the
President. He drove to Sycamore Hnl
early in the afternoon, and returned to
New York on the A o'clock train.
Il can't remember any time when the
West has been so interested i'm New
York State" the Senator said, "and the
interest centres largely around Mr..
Root. He is very popular in the West.
and everyone there thinks he would
add strength TO the ticket i'm New York.

come from Milwaukee. and / believe
that If both factions play fair in Wis
consin, as they have promised to do,
there is little doubt that Wisconsin
will be found in the Republican coll
umn. AS to my State. 1t is safely for
Roosevelt, but we won't make the mis-
take Of taking anything for granted
Bryan is far from being in the dead
class, and he win make a whirwinc
campaign in the State, in the hope o
electng Democratic Legislature
which would insure his election. he be
lieves. as the successor Of Senator Die
trich.
Even Bryan has no hope Of carryinl
the State for the Presidential ticket
and will concentrate his efforts on tn
Legislature"
II Considerable feeling has been stirred
up here because the town people arr
not to be invited out to Sycamore Hi
to see neighbor Roosevelt notified O.
his nomination. About half a dozeI
of the leading citizens have been in
vited, and the others, who believe the,
are in the same class are grumbling.
The oyster Bay Band is also dis
gruntled. The turning down OF tn
neighbors means that the band won
