biiity' but who went 10 France when
quite young. said that NJ. BRAND. the

and knows the demands Of that party and
how 10 appease them No one but he
could have handled the railroad strike
In such a mastery and successful man

Marquis de Germ paid a high tribute to
NJ Jusserand. the French Ambassador, as
being one Of the mos effective diplomats
OF France. who has the absolute conf
denes Of his government which realizes
that IT would be difficult indeed 10 re-
place him. Marquis de Germ predicted a
great future for VI. Jusserand.
Roosevelt made splendid impression.
not only in Europe, but particularly so IN
France. Il is true he did not pronounce
any startling or new doctrines or theo-
ries but whatever he had 20 say struck
home by reason Of the way he said this
Enthusiastically blunt. powerful and
fearless way. Everybody sdmires the man
/ Of courage, the fighter, and Roosevelt is
both, and is absolutely sincere and honest
in his views. President Taft also is popU-
lar. He Is regarded as another part OF
the American temperament"
Under normal conditions The State OF
New York elects a Republican state
ticket" SID B. NJ Mcdowell. OF New
/ York. at The New Willard last night. IF
f, the Republicans support their nominees
there should be no question about the
success Of their ticket this fall There
is no reason why those who claim fealty
TO the Republican party should not sup
port the ticket which was named in open
: convention by a handsome majority. Il
( Is true that there was a strong and bitter
fight before and IN the convention for
control Of the body. and one faction won
over the other. The majority won. and
The minority must submit, which is no
more than right Il was a bitter Pill for
those who had been al the head Of the
state Republican machine fer so many
years 20 be so Tudelv dispoSsessed 0f
what they thought their inalienabie pre-
negatives. One faction simply played
better politics than the other-thats all:
and everything is fair in politics.
There is much talk about the so-caIled
Old Guard feeling sore over their de-
feat al the hands Of Roosevelt That
seems natural, but they have no right 10
endanger the success OF their party ticket
BY the attitude they are assuming As
Republicans, they are bound by party
rules &c support the ticket with all their
best efforts. If they fail in this. thew
are guilty Of not doing their duty toward
their party, and are liable 10 discipline
II the ticket should be defeated and the
defeat can be traced 10 these fractions
members OF the party, they thereby lose
every right 70 recognition on the part Of
their political friends IN the future II
Sherman. Barnes Woodruff Young. and
other prominent New Workers fail in their
duty and do not support the ticket as
they ought 20. their future usefulness al
/ members Of the party is extremely doubt
ful. They have no right 10 oppose their
party, even though they suffered defeat
in the convention. IF the Republican
ticket Is defeated IN New York next
month. II Will simply be due 70 these
members Of the so-calIed Old Guard
who are using every opportunity 10 iniurs
the chances Of the ticket Of their party.
These men should not forget that
]
the Republican ticket with StilnsOn at
the head be elected, and II IS therefore
the duty OF every Republican, no matter
whether he be a New Nationalist or a
member OF the Old Guard, 20 lump in
and work for the success Of the ticket"
