IT looks as though Teddy Roose-
welt had been asking aid from Presi-
dent Taft In his fight to control pod
stins in New York State. Neither
DIR. Taft nor MIR. Roosevelt would
discuss in detail what they had to
say to each other, but these re-
suits can be given as apparent: ID
SO far as the situation in New
York goos, where there IS war be-
tween Col. Roosevelt and the old
guard, the president stands squarely
IN hts letter Of Aug. 20 10 Lloyd c.
Girscom, in which he defined his at
situde at length. 10 The president
is willing to run again If he is re-
nominated. but he intends to leave
that to his friends. He is not hunt
ang delegates. Gel. Roosevelt ex-
pressed himself las gratified at the
very pleasant interview" He reiter-
ated with emphasis he win not run
for governor. and that If the conyen-
tion is stampeded for him he will
refuse the nomination. Those who
ought TO know claim that MIR. Taft is
going to let the New York State
Republicans look out for themselves.

HON. w. j. BRYAN, in Fbolting'
the Democratic nominee for gov
ernor in his home State, Nebraska,
says: Tn speaking for the state
Ticket, however, I shall not be able
to present any arguments in 'avor of
the election of Mr.. Dahlman. His
position on the liquor question makes
that impossible. 1 regret this ex-
ceedingIy, for he has been a politi-
cal and personal friend for twenty
years, and it would give me pleasure
to speak for him If l could indorse
the policy for which he stands, but
he has chosen to make the liquor
question the paramount issue, and
makes his appeal on that issue, Pos
sibly it is just as well to have the
issue clearly presented, so that it
may be settled this year instead of
two years hence. Troublesome as
the question is now, it would be
even more embarrassing If present
cd in 1912, when we have a presf
dental election on hand. If Mr.. Dahl
man is elected IT will be a decara-
tion of the voters OF Nebraska agains
county option and against the 8
O'Clock closing law. If he is defeat
cd 1t will be a declaration in favor
Of county option and in favor Of the
s O'clock closing law. In other words,
the voters now have an opportunity
to decide whether the state shall go
backward or forward on the liquor
question"
