Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-12-13

He regards the presidents third term statement as aimed at him alone and as a public rebuke of him. He realizes that 1t practically ends his hopes of SC. curing the nomination
 MT. Cortelyou does not see why he is not as much entitled to the nomina- tion as Taft nor why he should be choked off.
 The fact is that the president has not tried to choke him off from get ting the nomination, but only from using federal patronage and President Roosevelt's name to get it with, but MT. Cortelyou refuses to make that dis tinction in his own mind.
 The Tafters are convinced that the presidents announcement will greatly aid their man-not so much directly in securing votes as indirectly in re- moving the heavy burden that has weighed the Taft boom down from the beginning. This burden was the belief that the president could be in duced to take the nomination himself, and it kept away from Taft many men who otherwise would have been for him.
 The presidents announcement has turned the eyes of politicians to New York, which has assumed great po- litical proportions overnight The ques- tion on every hand is, What will New York now do about the Hughes boom? When Timothy L. Woodruff and other New York politicians declared for Roosevelt for a third term the under standing here was that they felt too weak to defeat Hughes with any other name than Roosevelt's. Now that name has been taken away from them.
 There has been talk that the Hughes boom was making great progress in the west, but Mir Crumpacker of h. diana, one of the best informed con- gressmen of that section, pooh-poohed the idea,
 Cortelyou is regarded here as elim- mated from the race by the presidents announcement. and there is much curi- osity about what will be done with the crop of southern delegates he has reaped with such assiduous care. The best information obtainabe is that they will be held in reserve to be dealt out to Knox or any other "reaction- ary' candidate who may seem to be in position to profit by their use when the time comes. It does not seem likely to the politicians here that they can be delivered in block now.
