RUNNING NOW TO GET ON TEDDY'S
 BAND WAGON
(specia1 from United Press.)

Saratoga, Sept. 29@There is a
 'fStanding room on1y'' sign on the iRoosevelt band wagon today and a mad rush to secure that.
 After having been given during the past two days a demonstration of his ability to smash things especially bosses and bosslets, Leader Roosevelt
 is today displaying his versatility and
 the shattered remnants of a state Re-
 publican party and ce1nenting them
 more firmly than they ever were be- fore.
 Today after the most bitter fight and the severest wrenching given the iparty in this state in years, Republi- can leaders are returning to their Ihomes, confident of victory in the looming campaign, according to their statements for publication, and this despite the fact that most of them arrived here three days ago frankly admitting in private conversation that ithe party had not a chance to win.
 That the withdrawal of Mayor Gay tuor, of New York, from the Demo- Fcratic gubernatorial fight had as much or more, to do with this change of sentiment as the nomina ton of Hen !ry L. Stimson. cannot be denied, but 1.-the greatest factor has undoubtedly tbeen the personality of Roosevelt, a fact admitted today by both his friends and his opponents.
 Licked the bosses to 8 frazzle; had 1 himself e1ecteed temporary chairman; sounded the keynote Of the campa1gns named the permanent chairman; dic- tated the platform; successfully de- tended his direct primary plank; nom tinated the successful candidate for lGoyernorship and placed his o, K: on 8 slate.''
 There is little talk of defeat and the withdrawal of Gaynor from the Dem oeratic fight is counted as sign mum Der one for Roosevelt luck. Even the sincongruity of the TBoss killer's,' com plete control caused no comment and his definition of leader as one who works in the light as distinguished from a boss who works in the dark, was accepted without Quibb1ing. It became known today that Leader Roosevelt is going into the campaign hammer and atongs-
 At the conference that settled the slate yesterday the Colonel determined to place himself at the disposal of the state committee on his return from his 10 days southern trip that begins next Thursday. They will probably arrange a whirIwfnd tour of the state for him and 1t will be a 'thurrah boys" campaign from beginning to end.
 The Colonel will stop at Poughkeep- sic on his return from the convention. Stimson Fish and the rest of the Roosevelt coherts, left with the Col or1eI. The organization of the Roose- state committee will be accomplished shortly and the word was passed today that Congressman Herbert Parsons was the ColoneIs choice for state chairman.

Primitive Fire Fighters

As late as the end of the sixteenth century in London the sole method of extfnguishing fires was by means of contrivances known as ''hand squirts.' g These were usually made of br,.ss. with carrying capacity ranging from two to four quarts of water. The two quart 'squirts" were two and q half feet in length. one and a half inches in diameter at their largest part and but half an inch at the nozzle. On each side were handles. and three men were required to manipulate a squirt" One man on each side grasped the han dle in one lsind and the nozzle in the other. while the third man worked the piston or plunger. draw wing it out while the nozzle res immersed in a supply of water 1ich filled the cylinder. The bearers then elevated the nozzle, when the other pushed in the plunger. the skill of the former being employed in directing the stream of water upon the fire. Such primitive contrivances are said to have been used during the great fire of 1666.
