One Of the curious phases OF the situa-
ton is the reported great activity OF Mrs
Mary Hartman against Stimson- Shs
bases her antagonism TO him on the fact
that he is "ROOsevelt's man." and
Roosevelt once called her husband an
undesirable citizen It is said that she
would do a very great deal to defeat
Roosevelt, inferenially by beating Slim
son.
II was a day OF surprises. The Orange
County Republicans were surprised to
find Mr.. StimsOn a man very much OF
the Hughes type. which is intensely ad-
mired around here. Mr.. Stimson was
surprised 70 find that campaigning was
not such a hard task after all when the
candidate and the people he was talking
70 became friends Immediately. He was
surprised 70 ind that he could make
friends with his hearers in that ready
fashion Finally. those who engineered
the trip were surprised 20 find that the
more people Mr.. Stiu1sOn talked 70 the

He delivered smashing blows at the al
lance of Wall Street interests and the
Democratic party He repaid few OF
the blows which certain newspapers
have given 10 him recently, declaring
the reason why The Herald should be
against him now 10 be the fact that he
