Some $500 years ago a learned He

ROOSEVELT HELD

Senator Root Says Taft Is Logical
Man to Succeed Self in
1912.

New York, Oct EFF Taft con-
tinues to make as good a president
as he is making now he will be the
natural and inevitable choice Of his
party in 1912 unless one thing hap
pens-that the people of the United
States shall repudiate the admins
tration OF Taft by such a crushing
and overwhelming defeat of his party
-iH-New YorIv-thatrkt~xiIl-B be- apparent
that he cannot be elected" -.--e
This was the statement made last
night by United States Senator Elihu
Root in a speech at the Manhattan
Casino. Root addressed himself par
ticularly to those republicans who
might stand willing to vote against
a republican candidate, as a rebuke
to Roosevelt. A republican defeat
in this state this fall would be even
more of a blow to the present ma
tional administration than to Roose-
velt, in fact, a democratic victory in
New York would more than likely
turn the next national convention
away from a national administration
which could not hold its party to-
gether and toward Roosevelt or to
who are now looming up on the po-
litical horizon in the north and mid
die west"

London, Oct. 29.-Neager reports

Thursday that a revolution had been
begun in Greece. Some dispatches
intimated that King George had alb
dicated the throne and was in fight

dissolved into thin air when the fol-
lowing message, indicating that alb
sOlute quiet prevails there, was re-
ceived direct from Athens:
The coming elections have caus-
ed a curious situation here. ALI the
supporters of ex-Premiers Theotokis,
Mavromichaelis and Ralli have sign
ed an undertaking not to stand as
candidates.
Thus the Venezelos party will
have a walkover. 1t was these alb
stainers who declined to support Pre-

The fifth competitor was Hubert
Latham of the French team, but he
got such a fright when the wind al

by coming into contact with an open

there was a disastrous explosion"
