President Roosevelt and administration
leaders who are joined with him in the
effort to bring about the nomination of
William II. Taft by the Chicago conven-
tion, realize that supporters Of other can
didates have not been idle, and that the
coming battle will be fought hard and to
finish
Taft advocates within the administr3-
ton circle are somewhat surprised over the
strength shown by Tafts opponents. As
much was admitted yesterday.
Word went out from quarters near the
White House that there was plenty OF
evidence that a combination had been
effected among the advocates Of Cannon,
Knox, Fairbanks and others to prevent
Taft from getting the nomination. It
was said in these same quarters that
Senator ". Murray Crane, OF Massa-
chusetts is the leader Of the anti-Taft
forces.
Master Hand Recognized.
Without regard to whether Crane is or
IS not the chief mover in growing opposi-
ton to the effort of Roosevelt to name
his own successor. it is recognized that
some masterful politician has effected a
powerful working coalition Of Republican
leaders committed to candidates other
than Taft
This was shown in the Florida State
convention. 1t is now an open secret
that the work of the allied forces will
be apparent in every Republican State
convention in which Federal officeholders
will take a prominent part with the OBJ
ject of obtaining an Endorsement for the
Secretary of War.
Following disclosures of strenuous par
ticipation of Federal employees in the
Florida convention and the news Of
Frank H. Hitchcock's temporary transfer
from the Office of First Assistant Post
master General to the Taft campaign
management, there has been a revival
Of criticisms of the President for alleged
use of Federal officeholders to help the
Taft cause.
President Takes Measures.
Close friends of the President do not
need to put their ears to the ground to
hear the rumbllngs of discomfort They
were quick to make Mr. Roosevelt ac-
quainted with the danger which a con-
tinuance Of this kind of talk would work
to Taft
Roosevelt, generally recognized as one
of the greatest politicians in the country,
was not slow to decide his course to
pursue to offset the threatened damage.
Early next week ne will make public
the text of a letter written by him
to William Dudley Foulke. of Indiana,
denying that Federal off1ceholders had
been used to get support for the Secre-
taFy of War.
Foulke. an ardent civil service reformer,
had been reading allegations in an In
dianapelis newspaper said to be controlled
by Vice President Fairbanks, In regard to
the improper use of Federal patronage

1t Is safe to predict that the Presidents
denial will not serve to stop the ssser-
tions that many Of his app0intees We're
actually engaged I'm the effort to bring
about the selection Of Taft as the Repub-
lican standard bearer.
The action Of the Senate IN rejecting
nominations Of postmasters in Ohio and a
pension agent in New Hampshire on the
ground that they were nominated at the
instance Of Taft boomers, against the
wishes Of the Senators from their States,
indicates that the Senate Is inclined 70
put faith IN the reports of administration

gTess.

cause. and will surrender reluctantly the

President Roosevelt.
Already predictions are made that the
choice of Hitchcock as director of the
Taft campaign viii result in friction be-
tween himself and Arthur I Vorys, of
Columbus Ohio, the other Taft manager.
VOrys gave out a statement Friday
night that he had wanted Hitchcock to
help along the candidacy Of the Secretary
Of War. There is a suspicion, however,
that VOTys. who had regarded Hitchcock
as one Of the leaders in the alleged
movement to bring about Secretary Cor
telyou's nomination, did not extend the
invitation until he had been urged to do
so by somebody higher up"
To Divide Work.
To back up Vorys' statement from Co
lumbus, the following was authorized yes
terday:
ut was learned from one near to Sec
rotary Taft that Mr.. Vorys, of Ohio. who
has up TO this time managed the Secre-
tary's campaign. found he could not cover
all the ground that was necessary. and
he therefore solicited the assistance of
Mr. Hitchcock
''Afr. Vorys will retain the main head
quarters at Columbus, and will divide
the work with Mr.. Hitchcock. who will
establish headquarters somewhere in the
East"
Mr.. Hitchcock viii make his headquar-
ters somewhere in Washington or New
York, perhaps with Offices in both cities.
He was wanted especially on account of
his wide acquaintance among pOCtmasters.
His work would be in the East and the
South
The understanding that Mr.. Hitchcock
viii return TO the Office of First Assistant
Postmaster General when he is through
with his political work will insure him a
cordial greeting from postmasters with
whom he win be brought In contact as
a Taft manager.

"Good-groomings Is an extremely
comprehensive phrase. capable OF
many interpretations.
| The well-groomed individual patron
izes the Turkish bath or a substitute
therefor. But I have known a devotee
OF the Turkish bath to be anything
but well groomed. because. after the
bath. she did not have her hair prop
erly dressed or she donned a dress
that sagged in the back or needed
pressing. The well-groomed woman

she must also know and practice APP
propriateness In dress. A woman who
Is personally dainty. whose hair
CLEANS like satin. whose finger nails
are well kept and teeth like pearls.
may still look ungroomed II she wears
a picture hat with severe tailored
suit when shopping.
The wellgroomed individual cleans
his teeth night and morning and after
each meal. IL he smokes and stains
his teeth. he has them gone over by
dentist not less than once a month.
/ He does not have his hair cut spas
medically. but regularly. You do not
meet him one week with his hair al
most touching his coat collar. and the
next week. with IL clipped close. like
prize lighters. Neither does he al
low dandruf TO collect on his scalp
and shower his coat collar and shout
ders. He does not radiate perfume OF
any sort. but his regular shaving fol-
lowed by patting the face with bay
rum or a good toilet water gives him
general air OF cleanliness and fresh
ness. He does not have his finger
nails cut to deep points or highly pol
ished, but he keeps them trimmed
roundly and regularly, with what
might be termed a domestic finish
for polish.
The well-groomed woman is not al.
ways the most extensively dressed
woman. nor does she dress her hair
In the most extreme fashion. But
when you look at her once. you are
bound to take a second look-she is so
pleased. so harmonious. so restful

II she wears a switch, or few puffs
you may be sure that she buys good
hair that matches her own carefully
and then combines the two so clever
ly that the line of demhrkation cannot
be seen. The fashion in which the
would-be stylish girl openly iaunts
her false hair this season is not good
grooming.
She does not apply powder in ex
cess until her face looks like a mask
nor does she go TO the other extreme
and assume complexion so vivid
that the cosmetics can be recognized
by the most inexperienced eye.
| She never allows spot to remain
/ on her frock. and she does not wear
soiled petticoat under a freshly
laundered shirt waist suit Her neck
wear Is immaculate and her skirts and
blouses always meet firmly. Her
short skirts do not sag on the back
and her boot heels are never crooked
