Recognized.


Charles Dick, of Ohio, and Elmer Do
yer, secretary of the republican ma
tional committee, made a joint Pilgrim
age to Sycamore Hill yesterday. Pres
ident Roosevelt discussed with then
for two hours the political situation in
Ohio. Aside from the advantages OF
the discussion the simple fact that
Senator Dick was a guest at Sycamore
Hill. and came away bearing the pres
idents expression of enthusiastic de-
sire for harmony and success in the
coming congressional campaign, is re-
garded as political occurrence which
will have decided weight in the repub-
lican situation in Ohio. 1t has been SAID
in Ohio that Senators Foraker ana
Dick did not stand for the Roosevelt
administration, and this report bid fair
to cause at least a degree of trouble.
II has now been mailed to the mast,

ceive sincere and enthusiastic COM

inaugurated policies which he is hope-
full of concluding successfully. This

1T would be practically impossible
