TAFT'S LETTER.

The following letter from Pres
ident Taft TO Lloyd c. Griscom, pres
ident of the New York Republican
Committee, was given out here today
by Mr. Griscom:
Beverly. Mass. Aug. 20. 1910.
My Dear Mr.. Griscom:
"As you know from your telephone
conversations with my office. / have
steadily refused to admit the propri-
ETY. or necessity of the Presidents
replying 10 newspaper statements
which are not based on any act of
authorized word of his and have no
sponsor. | am entirely willing. how
ever. TO reply categorically TO your
telegram of August 19, which has
just arrived, and which is as fol-
lows:
am informed and believe that
several members OF the New York
Republican State Committee who
voted for Vice-President sherman
over eN-President Roosevelt as nomi-
nee for temporary chairman OF the
State convention. were influenced by
statements that the Vice Presidents
name was presented 20 defeat Col
Roosevelt in accordance with your
wish. Member OF the State committee
declared TO me before the meeting
that Mr.. Sherman's candidacy had
been arranged with you by telephone
the previous day. Efforts have been
made TO create al impression that
you favor a particular candidate for
election as State chairman. I want
YOU 20 know that the injection of
the name OF "A high member of vour
administration into a faction conflict
has produced a most complicated
situation, and the absence eff any au-
thOritative information as TO your at
titude is seriously misleading many
Republicans and impairlng a move
ment for progressive party leader
ship and clean government in this
State. ] know you desire us to have
a fair field, and hope that this may
be made clear TO the public
Richmond planet. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1883-1938, 1910-08-27

good faith to serve the interests OF
all the people of the State.
Il cannot speak definitely at the
moment of my whole plans, because
do not know how far the situation
will be changed by the Presidents
letter, and so ! can say nothing more
definite tonight"
CoCKS'S VISIT A FORERUNNER.
Beverly, Mass, August ga
/ visit TO President Taft from Repre-.
sentative w. w. Cocks, Of the Oyster
Bay district in Congress, and one OF
Colonel Rooseveit's closest friends
and advisers, came as a forerunner in
Beverly today to what transpired in
New York and Oyster Bay tonight.
Mr.. Cocks, Immediately upon his ar
rival, indicated that n better under
standing was soon to be had and de-
clared that there would be no break
between President Taft and Colonel
Roosevelt. Mr.. Cocks said that he
did not come as an emissary from
the colonel and that his visit here
was incidental to a trip to New
Hampshire to see some relatives.
President Taft said that his talk
with Mr.. Cocks had been most salts
factory. He rather significantly called
attention TO the fact that Mr.. Cocks,
being a Quaker, was essentially a
man of peace. Mr.. Taft at no time
has felt called upon TO answer anony-
nous or yelled attacks. When Mr..
Griscom telegraphed him a definite
statement of what had transpired in
the New York State committee, Mr..
Taft then decided to write a letter.
The Presidents letter, in many OF
the details and dates given, throws
an interesting light upon a number
of recent events in Beverly.
Probably the most interesting of
these was the interview given out by
Vice-President Sherman immediately
following his talk with President Taft
last Wednesday. On that occasion, it
now transpires. the President told
Mr.. Sherman that he deplOred the
action Of the State committee in vot-
Ing down Mr.. Roosevelt, and that ne
wanted him TO see Mr.. Roosevelt and
try TO arrange an agreement. Mr..
sherman, when he emerged from the
Summer White House, stated in the
most positive manner that he had no
intention of withdrawing as tempo
rary chairman, and that be did not
think movement overturn the
action OF the State committee in the
convention would be successful.
There is much speculation here to-
night as TO what the future rela-
lions between the President and Vice
President are 10 be. That a sure
enough break has come out OF the
New York situation, but that Il In
wolves Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Sherman
rather than Mr.. Tart and Colonel
Roosevelt, is the general opinion.
There is little doubt here that Mr..
Taft and Col. Roosevelt. working
tremendously and militantly in New
York State, will have matters entire
ly their own way so far as the Re
publican party is concerned.-Times-
Dispatch, August %. 1910.

ROOSEVELT is PLEASED.

Oyster Bay, n. Y, August 22.-
Colonel Roosevelt, after reading with
attention the full text of President
Tafts letter, issued the following
formal statement:
Il am very glad to see President
Tafts statement and am pleased with
it. Before the meeting of the State
committee had repeatedly expressed
to various leaders not merely my
willingness but my desire 70 see
them. Since the meeting I have not
thought that there was any particu-
lar object in meeting them, as. owing
to their action, the situation had be-
come such as to admit of no compro-
mise, and / had nothing TO add to
what I had already said. I may add
that / have not changed my mind
now.
my position Is perfectly definite,
and i have nothing to change in it.
L had never desired the chairman

considered on condition only that, in
platform and candidate alike, the
party should endeayor to achieve sue

drawn into fight against Mr..

gent advice that there be prompt and
full personal conference with Mr..
Roosevelt before the committee

agreed TO go into a conference with
Mr.. Roosevelt provided he were in
vited TO do so. with view to adjust

that late date. Mr. Nicholas Long

WILL REVERSE ACTION.

81 have not the slightest doubt
that the action OF the State commit.
tee will be reversed and that Mr..
Roosevelt, IL his engagements will
permit him 10 accept, will act as
temporary chairman OF the conven-
ton, making che keynote speech. AS
president of the New York Republi.
can county committee. l shall active.
ly cooperate with Republicans
throughout the State who believe
that in the interests OF the party this
result should be brought about.
"Mr. Taft's reply 10 my telegram
discloses that the industriously cir
.culated reports Of a supposed con
hict between the President and the
ex-President on New York State mat.
tiers are baseless.
The way now is clear for the Re
publican party in this State 10 take
steps which will warrant and secure
success at the polls In November. 1t
is evident that some of the so-called
"Old Guard" are not seeking Repub-
lican success at the coming election ;
they wish 10 perpetuate their con
troll of the Republican organization

The defeat which their plans in.
vited they very willingly would have
unlOaded upon the shoulders of Pres
ident Taft by making il appear that
he failed to indorse the policies of
Governor Hughes and Mr.. Roosevelt
in this State.
The alliance of some of the old
Guard leaders with Tammany Hall
in the last two Legislatures was a
disgrace, and should be repudiated
by the party.
substantially, all the Republican
primaries are still TO be held
throughout the State. There can be
no misunderstanding of the position
taken by President Taft, ex-President
Roosevelt and Governor Hughes for
progressive leadership in the party
and clean government. Opposed are
Messrs. Barnes, Woodruff, Aldridge.
Ward and their associates. The yot.
ers in the primaries will have an op-
Iportunity of making their choice"

WHOLLY UNTRUE. q"

The suggestion that I have ever
expressed a wish 20 defeat Mr.
Roosevelt for the temporary chair
manship of the convention or have
ever taken the slightest step TO q
so is wholly untrue. l never heard
Mr.. Sherman's name suggested as
temporary chairman OF the State
convention until / saw in the news
papers of August 6 that he had been
selected at the meeting of the com
mittee. When you called at my house
Saturday evening. August Is, you
told me that Mr.. Roosevelt intended
to go to the convention as a delegate
and you suggested incidentally his
being made temporary chairman
suggestion in which l acquiesced. II
did not occur 10 me that any one
would oppose it. This was the first
time the subject of the temporary
craftsmanship was mentioned to me
by any one. You did not ask me To
take any action whatever with re-
spect to it. After a full discussion of
the New York State situation l draft
ed in your presence the following
telegram and sent il TO Mr.. Sherman:
Beverly, Mass, Aug. IA. 1910.
&" Hon. James s. Sherman, Vive-
President. Utica, y. Y:
Please say to Ward and Wood
run that have had a long confer
ence with Griscom. He confirms my
Judgment already expressed TO you
that the whole situation in New
York may be saved without humilia-
ton to any one and with victory for
the party by a full conference with
Mr.. Roosevelt and reasonable con
cessions with reference to platform
and candidates.
"'The thing of all others that
ought to be avoided is a controversy
in the convention. am told by Mr..
Griscom that such a conference with
Mr.. Roosevelt might conveniently be
had and would be welcomed by him
before the State committee meets on
Tuesday. Hope you will be able to
report satisfactory solution when
you come on Wednesday.

The Abbe Spallanzani was the first scientist to study systematically the chemical powers of the gastric juice, but it was by the careful and convinc- ing experiments of Beaumont that the foundation of our exact knowledge of its composition and action was laid.
 Beaumont was an army surgeon.

 Beaumont made scientific expert: ments with his crude means and wrote a book, which today is recognized among the classics of physiology.
 Beaumont blazed the way for other scientists so that today medicine knows what the stomach does with food and what food does to the stomach.
 Science also knows what the gastric juices arc and how to make them best for the system
