| badly talk about the great part North

pleased with the hearty invitation the

\ Roosevelt when the governor inform.
ed him that all the people of the
State were anxious to greet and honor
! him during his stay in their State.
The interview between the President
and the Governor became personal
and social also. The Governor took
occasion to speak of Capt. r. L.
! Dodge, an uncle of his, who served in
! the regular army.
"Why, Dick Dodge was a good
friend of mine, said the President,
in speaking of the Governors relative,
and that brought the two executives
closer together. Captain Dodge wrote
a book about the Indians which Mr..
.Roosevelt had read. AS the Governor
was leaving the President spoke of
the pleasure with which he was look
ing forward to the trip. He said he
was half Southern himself and dwelt
upon the fact that the welfare of the
South is very dear to his heart
