make possible Mr. Tafts nomination
and election than any other person
President Taft thinks likewise.
While Mr.. Roosevelt was shooting
tigers and pursuing the dik-dik, the
Ballinger-Pinchot controversy result
ed in Clifford Pinchot being dismissed
as chief forester of the Department OF
Agriculture. This was hailed as sure
to cause a break between the Admins
tration and Mr.. Roosevelt. Mr.. pm
chot sent the Colonel an appeal which
was an ARRANGEMENT of the Taft ad-
ministration on the charge of besray-
ing the Roosevelt policies. But Mr..
Roosevelt did not fly to the aid OF the
deposed forester, even though MT
Pinchot met him in Italy The former
President returned to the United States
with neither word Of praise or OF
blame for the Administration Soon
he called on President Taft at Beverly
No Closer Together.
The visit brought them no closer to-
gether. A few months later another
meeting occurred at New Haven. II
was during the New York Guberna-
torial campaign Mr.. Roosevelt was
incensed when newspaper correspond
ents with President Taft's party wrote
that the meeting was at his initiative
and that he besought the President
aid in the New York campaign. only
few weeks ago one of Mr.. Roose-
velt's associates on the outlook declar-
cd that the meeting was at Mr.. Taft's
suggestion.
Efforts have not been wanting to ell
feet a better understanding. Similarly
some influences have steadily warked
against closer relations. 1t was thought
the apopintment of Henry l.. Stimson
as Secretary of War might prove a
bridge.
Mr.. Roosevelt has held aloof from

House largely to his predecessor nat
