LETTER FROM MAN VINO

Through Now, I've Done NY
Work."

The American Magazine (Septem'
Der numberl has got hold Of ali un'
published letter from L man who re-
Gently visitsd Presiden, Roosevelt The
following extracts from it are pretty
illuminating:
For the first time In my exper'
fence OF meeting President RooSe'
welt he seemed tired. He said several
times: Well. I'm through now. I've
done my work His chief idea seem
ed to be that he wanted 10 get away
out of the country. i want to get away
so that when the new administration
comes in my opinion will not be ask'
ed nor my advice sought. II ! talk
people wul say that | am interfering
where l have no right TO Interfere. IL
Il refuse to talk. they will say tha'
my silence is d!Sapproval. The best
thing | can dc is to so entirely away
for a scar or morc-out OF reach OF
ieycrything here; and that is what
am going TO do
II have never seen him In more
human mood: nor have ever been
more Impressed with his bisness ano
breadth. Once when he said. wen
I'm through suggested that the PEG
ME might not be through with him
that four years hence they might DC

than they are today.
"No. he said with curious INFANT!

with the Southern views on the Ia
Dor question
Bryan Doesn't Resemble Roosevelt.
Mr.. Cannon then took up the claim
of Mr.. Bryan to the heirship OF the
present Republican administrator.
He was amazed that Mr. Bryan could
find any similarity between himself
and President Roosevelt. He said
that Mr.. Roosevelt had ever been
distinguished by his nervous energy
in doing things while Mr.. Bryan had
belonged to that class distinguished
for seeing things.
In closing his address Speaker Can
non paid a glowing tribute to botn
Mr. Taft and Sherman, declaring
that he had known them personally
for many years. and that he believed
no better or ADLER men could be chos-
