The rational treatment for headache

remove it. Headache is only a symp-

lave almost unanimously declared fol

Washington, Feb. 27.-William Barnes
Jr., chairman of the New York State
Republican committee, gave out state
ment here, tonight, just before going &c
the White House to dine with President
Taft.
II want it made clear that l gave out
this statement before 1 went to the
White House." said Mr. Barnes The
burden of the statement concerns Col.
Roosevelts recent speech at Columbus.
It follows in full:
II can only say this 1t has seemed
to me that homogenity of opinion within
the Republican party has been threaten
ed for long time and that definition
of fundamental principles was therefore
absolutely necessary in order that the
party might endure as the preservative
force in the nations life.
1.-THE speech of Mr.. Roosevelt at Column
bus is violation of Republieanism.
When casually read it would seem to
contain a formulation of doctrine, but
coupled, as it Immediately was, with a
declaration of the authors candidacy
for the nomination for the Presidency,
it acquired virility but lost that dis
passionate devotion to principle which,
would have given it whatever quality 1t
might have possessed. In other words
this exposition at Columbus was to pre-
face a candidacy rather than to main.
tain principle and a candidate which
had been its progenitor distinctly re-
pudicated.
This seems to clear to me that al
though it is impossible for me to SUB
pfb 10 IIo Of he htss
speech. would feel that If l We're one
who could subscribe to that doctrine my
feet were on slippery ground.
Regarding the situation in the state
of New York, delegates from each con-
gressional district will be elected at Il
primary election on March 26 by the Gil
rect vote of nearly one-half million en-
rolled Republicans in the whole state "a
the national convention to be held 1T
Chicago, and at the state convention to
be held at Rochester. April 9, four dele
gates at large will be chosen by the vote
of majority of the delegates elected
to the state convention at the same pri-
mary.
There is no doubt whatsoever that
the best judgment of the Republican
electors of New York will be expressed
at that primary, and that that conven-
ton. which will assemble in Rochester
as result of that primary, will re-
affirm those principles of the Republican
party which have made it in the past
the medium through which the thought
full and patriotic people of the country
have rested in security that their gov
eminent will be representative far-sight-
ed and tenacious of the rights of every
individual, whether his opinions coincide
with the majority or whether they 90
not. The Republicans of the state Of
New York can no more be swerved from
their obvious duty than they were in 1896
when that state with others united -
hold the party firm in resistance to
crazed ideas of that hour"

THEY EXCHANGE JOKES.
President Taft and Senator Bailey Es-
change Light Political Banter.

Washington Feb 27.-President
Taft, tonight, heard Senator Bailey of
Texas denounce Theodore Roosevelt $
third term ambitions. The senator
said that if the President was not good
enough Republican to succeed him =
self he must be good enough Demo-
cratic to do so. He jokingly invited
the President in case of failure at the
Chicago convention. to enter the
Democratic party
The President confined his speech to
the value of university training. He
laughingly asked Senator Bailey to tell
him which branch of the Democrats
party he would be received in, but
made no other political reference, ex-
cept to chide his hearers for their APP
plause OF political remarks.

piled that Senator Dixon would be ac-
ceptable to him, and that it had been
expected that the senator would take
charge. Illness in his family, however,
had made j necessary, Col Roosevelt
said, for the senator to abandon this
plan for an indefinite period. Several
other names We're suggested to the
colonel, but he said that no decision
had been reached, and that he had no
idea as to who would be selected.
Reports published, today, that he
had made an attack upon President
Taft, brought forth a heated denial
from Col. Roosevelt, who declared that
they were unequivocally false. He
said that he expressed no opinion up
on the administration and none had
been asked Of him. He also issued a
statement in which he defined the
platform upon which he will make his
fight, in which he pointed out to his
recent speeches as the best express
sions of his opinions.
