guard" Of the Republican party In New

- he says, against his will. he has de-
termined to pusue 1t to the end, win
or lose.
Mr.. Roosevelt's intention was indi-
Gated more clearly than at any time
before by . statement which he issued
Wednesday.
The colonel said he was going into
the night with his eyes open and with
full realization of the fact that he
might not be successful.
He said that he felt that. owing to
organization. he was At perfect liberty
To carry ON incorporating warfare.
When q statement by William
Barnes. Jr.. the Albany leader. to the
effect that there would be a night in
the convention against its domination
by Mr.. Roosevelt, was read to him MI.
Roosevelt said:
They will have all the night they
want. am only going to the. con-
vention because feel that the inter
ests Of the people Of New York de-
mand that the Republican party be
given . chance to stand squarely and
uncompromisinsly for clean. decent.

speech exactly a. 1t had been planned

1 shall stand. yet II they do oppose
them. then II II their own affair and.
70 far ~ I am concerned( the issue

that even though he should be success
full in the state convention At Sara
toga, and such . platform ~ he de-
sired should be adopted. tho result OF
the election would be in grave doubt.
The colonel has told bis friends that
he did not feel sure the Roosevelt
Hughes forces would receive unQuali-
ned support from the organization at
the polls.

HER GRAVE IN DOUBT.
Uncertain TO Grave Of Body Of Gym.
thia Ann Parker.

Lawton, Okla, Nov. 30.-There is
some doubt entertained among the
close friends of Quanah Parker, chief
of the Comanches, as to whether
the grave from which a boliy was
taken near Ponyon, Texas, really
was that of Cynthia Ann Parker,
buried years ago in the Lone Star
state.
Before Parker went to Texas to
return to Cache with the body of
his mother he made much inquiry
among the Texas pioneers of that
section relative to the location of
the grave of Cynthia Ann Parker
Each claimed to know the exact
spot where the grave was located
but no two agreed. There was moth
ing by which the coffin could be rec
ognized.
Quanah Parker himself is satisfied
as to the identity. He is attempt
ing to keep secret the exact date
and hour of the re-burial of his
mothers corpse. He states that the
ceremony has taken place already
while others stated that the buria
viii be held Sunday, when Quanaf
Parker will deliver a funeral ser
mon. The coffin is now being helt
at Post Oak mission, four miles
northwest OF Cache, near Parker's
home
