Who Is Able to Bring Taft
and Roosevelt together
BY ARTHUR w. DUNN.


Republicans are wondering Just what
hey viii dc In order to get together
Tor the next campaign. 1t is said that
4 President Taft and Colonel Roose-
Felt could come to an understanding 1t
would be the first step in the direction
Of party solidarity that is SO much
needed.
But the old question Of who is to
bell the cat' hobs up right away.
Who can bring Roosevelt to Taft}
For Taft cannot so to Roosevelt. Nat
nrally Senators Root and Lodge may
come to mind In this connection, but
both know that it would be an i'm
possible task. Both know Roosevelt
too well to make the attempt at pres
ent.
| Other men have been suggested and
rejected, and so we must fall back on
our old friend, whose mission In life
Is to heal Republican differences, W.
Murray Crane, Junior senator from
Massachusetts. Crane has never re,
fused a job of this kind, and. while he
has been a confdant of President
Taft, he has never been at "outs' with
Colonel Roosevelt.
Neither Willing to Surrender.
A great difficulty in uniting the Re-
publican party arises on account of
the success of the insurgents. With
few exceptions the progressives have
won, and the question at the outset Is
upon what basis shall the party unite.
1t will be hard for either faction to
surrender, and the talk of prominent
leaders since the election is not Of a
character to heal differences.
Defeated regulars are blaming Roose.
welt and criticising him In no uncer-
tain terms. The insurgents also are
censured for their failure to stand by
the Republican administration and Re-
publican legislation.
Anxious About Lodge.
There Is a great deal of anxiety felt
among Massachusetts men about Sen
ator Lodge. Many are afraid he will
be defeated, while others fear he won't
be. Lodge is not popular with mem
bers of the house from his state, al
though several members CT the dele
cation belong to his faction.
'There are a lot of young men in
Massachusetts," remarked one meEo-
Der, who do not know Lodge, and
they don't like his machine. They
want to see him defeated. Therein is
his danger. If he is defeated 1t vii.
y for all time, for the younger men
will take control of the Republican
party" at ea a3N q

Whan Senator Culbe-son had to re.
tire as minority leader of the senate
On account of i'll health Senator Money
was chosen to succeed him. Money
will go out next March, and another
must be selected. If Culberson mad
not recovered his health Senator Bal
ley would have been chosen. Now II

N~ollachucky on the Bay.
James @. Courts, for many years
clerk Of the house committee on an.
preparations, has a country place al
--nne Arundel, on Chesapeake bay. He
is a native of Tennessee, and when be
launched a sailing yacht he named II
Nollachucky. No one along the east
ern shore ever heard Of that famous
name, and 1t excited much wonder.
One day an old lady saw the boa
and the name and exclaimed: 'Lan6
of goodness! Sakes alive! Where dlf
that boat come from? Why, wa,
born and raised on the Nollachuck,
river, but / never supposed a boa
could get down here from away up Fl
them mountains"
Senator Warner Satisfied.
