lette's candidacy for the Republican Pres
idential nomination should receive the
heartiest Endorsement Of Col Roosevelt.
said Or. s. A Blake, OF Rochester, y. Y,
who is at the New Willard Col. Roose-
Welt has practically gone out OF his way
number OF times to laud La Toilette for
the advanced stand he has taken in the
council Of the Republican party. The
| Wisconsin statesman is, no doubt. a man
after Teddy's own heart, and. not being
candidate himself for the hon0rs,
Roosevelt will no doubt be among the
first to rally to La Follette's aid.
Everything would be all right as far
as it goes. but Wisconsin is hardly the
place from which 70 select Presidential
timber continued Dr. Blake 1T will
have TO be either New York or Ohio, or
possibly Indiana, all Of which are doubt
full States and whose votes are absolutely
necessary 10 elect a Republican President.
He can get along without Wisconsin. but
should New York be neglected and lost.
il would go hard indeed with the Repub-
lican candidate 10 land the place.
Speaking Of Presidential nominations. I
am Of the opinion that New York will
furnish the Presidential candidate in the
person Of Theodore Roosevelt. and Wis
consin or Iowa OF Kansas VIII be called
upon 10 furnish The Vice President The
insurgent States will also have a whole
lot 10 say as to the makeup Of the Cab
met, and II would not be surprising IL
the Cabinet were dominated by Western
insurgents. La Toilette would make a
splendid running mate with Roosevelt,
provided Cummins. La Toilette. and the
other extreme insurgents can make up
their differences by that time with the
indomitable Teddy"
Fred II. Kellogg. OF Chicago. a repre-
sentative in Europe OF a number OF
American manufacturing firms, is at the
Shoreham Speaking Of the so-called
American dollar diplomacy, Mr.. Kellogg
smiled and said that Americans are not
the first by any means to make diplomacy
subservient 10 commerce: that the Ger
mans had beaten the whole world to a
standstill along those lines. which ac-
counted for the unprecedented growth OF
German trade and commerce in all parts
OF the world
Numerous anecdotes are going the
rounds continued Mr. Kellogg. con
corning the thoroughness OF German rep
resentatives, diplomatic and consular, in
all that touches the development OF Ger
man trade. However busy German diplo-
mats may be with questions Of interna-
tional politics, they apparently never lack
time for the development Of home com
merce. This was strikingly proved re-
Gently in Paris, when a well-known
French merchant called ar the German
embassy. one OF the most aristocratc in
Paris The merchant IN question had no
Introduction nor letter OF recommended
ton. He merely went IN quest Of certain
information on a trade subject. He was
Immediately received by a young diplo-
mat, elegant and correct but very anna
bic who Immediately set about 70 secure
the information desired Within q few
minutes the Kaiser's representative re-
turned with the names and addresses Of
twenty-seven German firms with whom
the French merchant could open uegO-
tiaIions. He also brought with him-and
this exemplifes German thoroughness-
twenty-seven German stamps which the
French merchant could put in letters 10
assure response.
We are enterprising in this country all
right" concluded Mr.. Kellogg. but our
methods have not yet reached that scien-
tifc thoroughness OF the German dollar
diplomats"

This exposition is 10 be national in
scope and purpose" said Mr. Tustin,
who was seen al Gerstenberg's. Canada
has never had an exhibition Of The
splendid. rich resources Of the Dominion,
big enough and broad enough 10 ht the
greatness OF the country. An iuterna-
tiOnal exposition is undoubtedly the best
means OF advertising 20 the world the ad-

holding OF an exposition viii show what
Canada has done and is capable OF doing,
thus adding new strength and energy 10
every Canadian.
Canada needs capital, population. and

cities and towns are bidding for Amer

municipal leagues and bureaus. through
which advertising campaigns are being
vigorously pursued. Winnipeg, Manitoba,
is an example of what can be accom-
plished by united efforts OF this nature.
