night or Thursday. From official
sources II is understood that the Presi-
dent gives the chief credit for his VIC
tory to Mr.. Hilles. The silent work of
the secretary, according to those close
to the President. did more to insure the
denomination than any other influence.
The Republican statesmen who con-
ferred with the President today, seemed
more eager to discuss the Democratic
situation.
Underwood Is Feared.
1t was practically the sentiment of all
that the "old Guard" of the @. o. p.
fears Underwood more than any other
OF the prospective candidates before the
convention at Baltimore.
In fact. several of the callers told the
President that he will be the logical
candidate for all conservatives should
either Bryan, Clark or Wilson be nom-
mated.
Roosevelt's candidacy, backed by a
powerful progressive influence, undouot-
edly will materially affect the chances
or any Democratic progressive.
High praise was given the colored
delegates to the Chicago conclave,. who
to large extent were responsible In
the selection of Taft, by Congressman
Mckinley.

La Toilette Will
Not Talk About
Fourth Party Plan

Senator La Toilette would not discuss
a current story that he expects to go to
Baltimore today or tomorrow to con-
fer with Bryan on the matter Of allying
with the Nebraskan to form a fourth
party in case the progressives are de-
feated in the Democratic convention.
The Wisconsin Senator did not deny
either that he expects to run independ-
emily for President, or that he will have
a conference with Bryan this week. He
simply said he could not talk about his
future plans at present as II would lead
him into discussions which would inter-
fere with his work on his book.
Nevertheless, men close to LaFollette
are saying that he Is planning a visit
to Baltimore, and may go today. There
is general impression in Washington
that Fighting Bob intends to head an
independent ticket this fall
1t is believed that should the progress
sives bolt the Baltimore convention this
week, La Toilette would cast his for
tunes in with theirs to prevent an al
lance with the Roosevelt party. The
strong bond of feeling between La Fol-
lette and Bryan is well known, and was
recently acknowledged by La Toilette
In a magazine article.
II have all I can do to finish up my
book" said La Toilette today. "and I
fearF must curtail my interest in po-
ltical matters until I get through. If
l have anything to say in the future
about running Independently, you will
know all about II them"

Colonel's Contention That
He Could Have Had Nomi-
nation Brings Statement.

The vanguard of politicians who
played prominent parts in driving the
Taft steam roller at the Chicago con-
vention called at the White House to-
day to congratulate the President up
on his reelection.
Probably the most conspicuous visit
or was Congressman Mckinley Of I'LL
nois, who managed the Taft campaign.
Discussing the latest developments in
the political situation Mr.. Mckinley
said: ITO any one who knows the
situation the statement of Colonel
Roosevelt that he could have had the
nomination on Saturday is amusing"
While Senators Smoot of Utah, Jones
Of Washington, Bradley of Kentucky,
and Congressman Mondell of Wyoming
and others were loud in expressing sat
isfaction at the Taft victory. all pro-
fessed to know nothing Of the future
campaign Of the President.
Gives Credit To Hilles.
II is evident that Mr.. Taft will not
make public any plans until Secretary
Hilles returns from Chicago tomorrow

PUT TO THE TEST.

Fitzdaube has all the sensitiveness to
color of the true artist and doesn't
mind showing It,
His neighbors are really very nice
people, but they have absolutely no
taste, and F'itzdaube frequently criti-
cises them very severely in the bosom
of his family.
One morning little Ethelinda Fitz-
daube knocked loudly at the neigh
boris front door.
SHOW me the new rug in your draw
ing room!" she said, with childish i'm
periousness.
The good lady took her to the room
and Ethelinda planted herself in a chair
and stared at the gaudy rug.
She stared until her eyes watered,
and still she spoke not.
Her host was just beginning to won
der what was the matter, when at lasI
Ethelinda pronounced her verdict.
We'll, it doesn't make me sick!" she
declared, decisively.
