Regarding Roots Election.

Chicago, June 19.-"T'm a better war
rior than a prophet" Colonel Roosevelt
said when asked his opinion Of the
outcome Of the convention. That was
all he would say.
Mr.. Roosevelt directed his own battle
in the convention hall over q telephone
wire. Hidden away in a room In his
hotel, he spent most of>bis time with q
receiver at his ear, listening to reports
of his lieutenants and issuing orders
IN person.
He was seen only once or twice dur
ing the day, as he hurried through the
corridors. He waved his hand nnd
smiled at the people who cheered him,
and. In spite of the high pressure un-
der which he has been working, he ap-
peared to be as vigorous as the day he
left Oyster Bay.
The wire over which Colonel Roose-
welt gave his directions was specially
installed for the convention and had
no connection with any switchboard
Arrangements were so made that no
person other than Colonel Roosevelt
and the man at the Coliseum end of
the wire could by any chance overhear
the conversation.
