NEWS AND GOSSIP
FROM WASHINGTON

Now they have discovered that the |
first assistant postmaster general did
not say word for Taft anywhere.
On the contrary it is alleged, he did
talk in favor Of. another nomination
for Mr.. Roosevelt wherever he talked
politics at ALL
The Taft people have also inspired
the publication of newspaper stories
intimating that George B. Cortelyou,
secretary of the treasury, is not doing
any pulling atIthe Taft wagon. Some
how they expected him to put on the
harness. Other members of the
cabinet are under suspicion of not
taking as. much interest in the cam
paign as they might. The peoples
lobby was looked upon a few months
ago as an adjunct of the Taft move
ment, but it develops that Henry Beech
Needham, the head and front of that
/ organization, is out talking third
term for Mr.. Roosevelt. And SO it
goes.
CAN NOT MAKE ANY HEADWAY.
According to the talk that is com
ing from the Taft managers here
they want definite information as to
what the president intends to do be-
fore they can make any Roadway.
The situation is full of interest for
the reason that only few months
ago the Taft people were proceeding
on the theory that 1t was wise to let
the Roosevelt third term talk have
full swing; their candidate would, at
the proper time. step in as the heir
to this sentiment Now, as the time
for choosing delegates approaches
they are seeing new light They
are discovering that persons who
have been busy with the third term
business are not for their candidate
/ at all, and they want the president
to make it possible for them to force
J a showdown from, large number Of
influential men.
No one here pretends to know
, what Mr.. Roosevelt said to Mr.. Tafts
managers on the train trip or what
!, he will say on his return here. Every
body believes that the president did
one time, if he does not now, sincere
ly desire to throw the nomination to
Mr.. Taft; but as the politicians are
saying: Can he help the Taft cam
paign any by making it plain that he
will not accept nomination? Would
the men who have been so energetic
i in the work of spreading the third
term propaganda go over to Taft or
would they, having been released
from further duty to their chief go
to the support of other candidates? ?"

Residents on and passers along Oak
street Tuesday afternoon were treated
to a sight not often witnessed in this
city, that of two white women indulg-
ing in fight. The mix-up caused con-
siderable excitement, but owing to
timely Intervention the combatants
were separated before any great dam
age resulted to either. The trouble
originated over a scrap between two
boys which was later taken up by
their mothers, both of whom thought
their boy was right. The matter was
amicably settled between the two af-
ter the fight and no charges was pre-
ferred against the combatants in the
police court.

The honeymoon was short lived,
however. The groom soon deserted
his bride and again she returned toher

Relatives of Miss Key again con-

leave the state and consenting to let
the matter drop provided he would
stay out of Mississippi. This he is
said to have promised

He did not come in contact with any

Washington, October 16.--Promin-
ent Republicans are saying that in
the interest of party harmony Presi-
dent Roosevelt will, soon after his re-
turn from the canebrakes of Louisiana
be compelled to talk about the third
term movement The demand that
he make statement will, it is said,
come from the managers of the Taft
campaign. They are "up in the air."
The national capital end of the Taft
campaign makes no secret of the fact
that the situation as it now exists is
wholly unsatisfactory to them, and
they intimate that the Columbus, o.,
end of the campaign is in that frame
of mind.
be untangled from the Roosevelt
third-term movement, and it is pointed
out that the only way to unite the
knot that is causing so much worry
is for Mr.. Roosevelt to say once more
and say it ina way that can not be
misunderstood that he will not, under
any circumstances, accept next years
| nomination. 1t devolps that the visit
of Mr.. Taft's leading manager with
the president while the chief executive
was enroute from Canton, O., to FIT.
Wayne, Ind, last week, had to do
with the embarrassment that con-
fronts the Taft campaign managers
as a result of their inability to make
Roadway so long as persons who were
looked upon to support~the candidacy
of Mr.. Taft are going about talking
up the third term movement.
NOT FOR TAFT AT ALL.
1t has been distressing to some o.
the persons associated the Taft
movement to find that a good many
men, most of them connected will
the administration, who were sup
posed to be working for Taft, are, al
a matter of fact, not for Taft at all
but have been and are associated
with movement to renominate the
president. In discussing this phase
of the situation, some of the Taft
people are disposed to use bitter
language. Just now, Frank H. Hitch
cock, first assistant postmaster gen
eral, is getting it from the Taft PEG

cock travelled good deal. He visited
a large number Of the southern states
