Although Quentin and Archie, the Presi-

caught President Roosevelt at the tennis
court and when he saw that his retreat
was cut on he surrendered gracefully and
made liberal contribution. -

Somewhere you got report from this state with
a note of depression in it. Though we had hoped
tor more there is not depressing circumstance
in connection with the recent election We held
our own and gained in the number of important
officials elected, and Our total vote is increased
all along the line, swinging up to approximately
10000 clean gain in our legislative poll all against
odds that we never faced before. The enemy
did not puncture our line at single point While
we did not win every skirmish, nor take every.
position we had hoped to take, our battle line
pushed over onto the enemy's territory. and held
the ground.
We are in the best fighting trim in the history
OF the party at the close of the struggle, and fit
to face another election tomorrow Our buele
sounds Forward" and the whole battle line is
off with yell.
