Mr.. Rooseyelt's attitude on his
western tour, his support of the can
didaoy Of several leading insurgents
who were his personal friends, are
probably the leading reasons for the
assumption of the insurgents. The
manner in which President Taft han

out their host from the beginning. 1t
is plain that Mr.. Taft understood just

The platform adopted by the New
York Republican state convention
shows that Mr.. Taft's confidence was
not misplaced and that Colonel Roose-
welt was ready TO come into the open
and show his affiliations.
Colonel Roosevelt, who announced
after the convention that he would adj

Mr.. Roosevelt takes the view that a

is one who leads. Mr.. Roosevelt him

after the defeat OF the old guard, he
led the convention to adopt that plat
form.
Another evidence Of the complete
unanimity Of Colonel Roosevelt and
President Taft is shown by the attitude

Mr.. Roosevelt remarked that he was
somewhat hoarse as the result Of his

There is no doubt Of Republican
