initiative, not on orders from the de-

Bass brothers and himself.
INTERESTED IN NEW HAMPSHIRE
Colonel Roosevelt has been inter-
ested in the fight since It began in
1906, when l ran for governor" he said.
This year Robert r. Bass of Peter
boro is a candidate for governor. He
may be classed with the insurgents,
but the New Hampshire Republican
organization has not opposed his NOM
nation Mr Roosevelt wanted to know
about the situation in New Hampshire
and as l am an old friend of his, L
came down to tell him"
Did Mr.. Roosevelt indicate his at
titude in regard to the fight in New
Hampshire?"
"Only by his friendly attiture. He
said nothing to show his views"
Then Mr.. Churchill produced pa
per on which he had written state
ment. Here it is:
"Our whole purpose in New Hamp-
shire this summer is to make Mr.. Bass
governor and to elect a legislature TO
support him. We have done nothing
else: we have meddled with nothing
else. We know Mr.. Bass is uncom-
promising. He has been with the pro-
gressive movement since ii started lie
is incapable of making political deals.
1.-THE people of the state trust that
clear cut victory, a signal stage in the
fight we began four years ago."
REGULAR SEES COLONEL
Senator Carter looked gravely at the
interviewers and informed them that
the people in his part of the country
were not hearing much about the in
surgent movement just now. The SEN
ator came alone and returned to New
York alone. Senator Carter said that
while his visit was not a political one.
he had given the colonel considerable
information about the situation in the
west.
Il assured him." said Senator Car
ter, that the alleged divisions in the
west were greatly exaggerated and
that many of us were trying to attain
the same ends through different meth
ods."
Senator Carter said he had assured
Colonel Roosevelt that the strength
of the insurgent movement in the
northwest had been overestimated.
The senator was asked if there was
any possibility of a breach between
President Taft and Colonel Roosevelt,
and he replied:
"I can see no danger Of it. Mr..
Roosevelt will probably have more of
a soothing influence than any other"
In addition to the political talks
Colonel Roosevelt also found time to
talk about hunting in Africa. John
Burroughs the naturalist, who spent
the night at Sycamore Hill, and T. j.
Ader who dropped in after luncheon,
swapped stories of the jungle with him.
No politicians are expected at Saga
more Hill tomorrow.

The recent lot sale and the
scarcity of residences in this city
has caused many of our citizens to
commence talking for a Building
and Loan Association. By such an
organization many will in a few
years own their homes at about
what they are now paying for rent
and there will be more houses for
the people who wish to move here.
1t will aid in making Monroe City
larger and better city. Believing
that every citizen should have an
opportunity to get into this organi-
cation on the ground floor, help
make the Bylaws and elect the
afticers will say that all who desire
to get in please give your name
and the probable number of shares
you want to the Democrat. Please
do this at once. Then a meeting
will be called and the organization
perfected.
