Oyster Bay, Sept. 22.-It is the candid
opinion Of Col. Roosevelt that the pro-
gressiyes have practically won the fight
for control Of the Saratoga convention.
He declared tonight that he thinks he is
reasonably safe in saying that they will
have a majority OF at least 100. This
means that Col Roosevelt would be the
temporary chairman OF the convention,
for he has said that If his friends wish
II. he will make the fight. II means that
he considers the I'D guard" licked.

COMET PLAYS TRICKS

Well what do you know about that
comet? 1t is about gone by this time
will be barely visible by the end
of the week. And how the big show
fizzled out, comet and eclipse, and
all. II would have been fine, only
Il wasn't. And now it's all over.
The first stunt of the sky-tramp
came last week, when 1t passed across
the face of the sun, and the Earth
was expec.ed TO go thru the tail.
Just at the proper moment the comet
cut loose from the tail, left it TO
the East of US, and went across the
sun without any tail. Then it proceed
ed to grow a new one. So we never
found out what would have happened
If we had gone thru the tail. The
comet fooled us.
IL is expected that the old comet
and the new tail have been where
they were expected TO be every night
this week, but the clouds have hidden
them. There was to be a great show
when the full moon was eclipsed.
This would hGev let the comet shine
forth in all its splendor But tn
clouds were there. Each day there
has been clear space which raised
hopes of seeing the comet in the
evening. Each evening the clouds
have come back. So now we will hav
to wait for tho next one.
