told reminiscently of writing a similar
letter for the use of the organization
Republicans early in his Administration
in return for which they had promised
TO put through the Roosevelt legislative
program.
And you see what they have done for
me- he added, leaning forward and
gripping the arms of his chair, the
Roosevelt teeth barred, and the search

he would not write the letter for pub

was 10 write the letter and send IL to

Decides Not TO Write
At noon the next day Roosevelt sat in
the Presidents room. off the Senate
chamber at the Capitol. signing the
final bills OF his Administration. Out
side all the ceremonial preparation for
the Inauguration OF President Taft was
under way. About Roosevelt, as he bent
over the desk, were grouped several
members of the House and Senate.
Preslden Taft also waited there TO be
led into the Senate chamber.
RooseTelt summoned a page and sent
for the insurgent committee which had
waited on him the day before Only
Gardner could be found, and Roosevelt
sent him 20 find Nelson
When Gardner and Nelson returned.
Roosevelt was busy with the numerous
bills on the desk before him. He arose
quickly; grasped Nelson by the hand,
and said.
We'll. I'm sory."
Then he told them that. without dis
cussing directly the suggestion he had
made 10 the insurgents he had brought
up the subjects OF the rules and Cannon
In TaftS presence. and that as a re-
suit, he had reached the conclusion that

expressed his sympathy with in insur-

With an impulsive gesture Roosevelt
turned 10 the two insurgents. grasped
each by the hand. and led them over TO
where Taft stood The other OCCUPANTS
Of the room stared a little, and turned
their attention toward the two Presi-
dents Roosevelt briefly explained 10
TAFT the plans Of the insurgents in their
fight against Cannon and the rules. and
said that they had asked for his SUD-
port. For probably five minutes he
pleaded with his successor for the in
surgents and their cause, ending with
the request eat least keep your hands
off,
Taft listened 10 Roosevelt's fervid
plea, threw up his hands. and turned off
the matter in a joking way
And a few minutes later Roosevelt led
Taft away to be inauEurated President
OF the United States.
