BAD EOR HIS FRIENDS

Colonel Roosevelt has decided that
he wants none OF the scheme 10 cap
.ture" the Republican party. Al least
that IS what he is credited with de-
.ciding His decisions of the past have
moi been lasting az times. but ID may
be assumed that he would not make
la decision so important as this last
one without mature deliberation
One Of the main reasons why it
may be considered important is the
box in which it apparently leaves
Governor Stubhs and other of the
leading Roosevelt supporters who
have not lost their political ambitions
and who would most certainly still
like to consider themselves Republic
ans.
Mr.. Stubbs. you know. hopes to be-
come United States senator from
Kansas. He didn't like the way in
which the Republican machine soak

journeyed with his chief 10 Orchestra

siastic of the allegiance swearers. But
when he got back TO Kansas he found
taat there were still quite a number

to believe Roosevelt should have TAX
en- his medicine without whimpering
and insisting on breaking up house
keeping
Now that the colonel has spoken
and said he will not permit both his
and Taft's name to be placed over
me same column of electors, but that
he must be placed on another ticket
entirely, Mr.. Stubbs and other friends
are IN bad way. A man 10 be elect
