With reference to the corporation
question, one OF the subjects nearest
her heart, Miss Tarbell spoke freely.

prevent his becoming a candidate
again. But one thing is certain. the
country can use Mr. Roosevelt. II
can use any man who will do things
for the benefit OF all the people. ana

after a moments reflection. There
are so many other matters in which
