The published correspondence be-
tween President Roosevelt and Presi-
dent Eliot Of Harvard over the re-
moval Of two members, Fish and Nor
gan, Of the Harvard varsity crew
shows that the head Of the university
resented the interference Of the presi-
dent. The latter, In conjunction with
Assistant Secretary Bacon as fellow
alumni Of Harvard, had wired Eliot IL
1t was not possible to find some other
punishment for the oarsmen, who had
violated certain rules, which Eliot re-
garded as dishonorable. Roosevelt
took the ground that 1t was unfair to
make others suffer for an offense for
which some other punishment might be
found Eliot replied that "a keen sense
Of honor being the finest result Of col
lege life, think the college and gradu-
ates should condemn effectively dis
honorable conduct" and that "the col |,
lege should also teach that one must
never do scurvy things in the supposed
interest for the pleasure Of Others"

Bradley received the full republi-
can vote and the votes of four demo-
Gratis (two senator's and two repre-

pledges, thus giving Bradley GA
votes, the exact number necessary to
elect.
Scenes of the widest excitement
prevailed on the floor of the legisla-

announced.
Former Governor Beckham ap-
peared in the house and released the
democratic members from the pri-
mary nomination pledge. But, in
spite OF this. the four democrats vot-
ed for Bradley.
At the last moment, after ex-Gov-
ernor Beckham had released them
from the primary pledges, many of
the democrats sought to change their
votes to Congressman Ollie M. James
of Marion. KY, and to turn the tide
in his direction, but it was too late.
Bradley had won.
Had it been possible to take anoth-
