Pleased With Tnft's Statement

New York, August 2s.-'I am very much pleased with MT. Taft's statement If makes the situation perfectly clear. If Nassau county wishes me to go to the state convention l shall go. re- gard the issue as clear cut and as far AS I am concerned there will be ab- solutely no compromise.'
 This declaration was made today by Theodore Roosevelt a few minutes be- fore his departure for his tour. and followed a conference with County Chairman Lloyd Griscom in the former Presidents private car.
 Colonel Roosevelt was in a happy mood this morning as he wedged his way through the crowd at the station and smilingly remarked to one of his business associates that it seemed like old campaign days. Mrs. Roosevelt and Mrs. Longworth and Quentin Roosevelt came to the station to bid the colonel farewell.
 The colonel was at first disinclined to discuss politics in any of its phases and when told that 1t had been re- ported that he was expected to make a detailed statement this morning re- garding MT Taft's letter to Mr. Gris- com, he laughed and said
 q am afraid you a.e of an ever trust ful nature. No, I'm not going to say anything; not word'
 The colonel and his family were es- corted by the railroad officials to the from there the ex-President was soon joined by MT. Griscom and Collector of Port Loeb. Later the colonel emerged from the private car and stated he would go to the state convention if Nassau se- iected him as a delegate and there would be no compromise, as the issues were clear cut.
 The decision of Colonel Roosevelt was quickly taken that he now proposes to go to the convention at Saratoga and make his fight against the "old guard | for the platform ard candidates that he thinks more desirable. The colonel made it clear that he meant every word he said for he punctuated each sentence
 with clap of his hands. But beyond this statement he said he had nothing
 to say on politics, addinE that the mo- ment he was more interested in copy
 of his book on hunting in Africa
 which his publishers had sent him this
 morning.
 On his way to the station this morn
 ing the colonel branded as false q
 story printed recently that he had sem Chairman Griscom to Beverly with al ulttmatum to the President.
 There was a rousing cheer from rail
 road employees and others as tn,

Uncle Joe Cannon tells this
new and characteristic one on
Honest Abe" Lincoln: 1T was
the Illinois State Convention at
Decatur, held to name delegates
to the National Convention that
nominated Lincoln for the Presi-
dency. After the prayer a cry
was started on the platform:
Open a passageway! Open a
passageway! Let Dennis Hanks
and Dick Oglesby through! They
have some rails t h a t Dennis
Hanks and Abe Lincoln made in
1880.
They came up with the rail,
which had a piece of cotton cloth
rolled around them bearing the
legend: These rails were made
