Viii Issue Statement.

KALAMAZOO, Mich, Jan. Bad
gercd BY reports that his presidential
campaign is really in the interests OF
Col Roosevelt. Senator La Toilette
today declared he is considering is
suing a formal statemment defining his
position, possibly tomorrow. Late to-
day he will hold conference at the
Chicago headquarters of the progress
sive republican league, and decide II
any formal announcement should be
made.
Members of the LaFollette stump
ing party here today Indignantly deny
that LaFollette is a Roosevelt mig
sionary. They declare LaFollette is
in the fight to a finish -or the re-
publican nomination, and only wants
show down" from Oyster Bay.
To force Roosevelt into the open
to either eliminate himself as can,
didate or definitely enter the race is
the plan considered by the LaFollette
partisans. They say Roosevelt's at
titude is now the greatest obstacle
blocking wave of !.aFollette senti
ment over the entire country.

CLEVELAND, Jan "a Washing
ton despatch to the Cleveland Press
from it's correspondent, ellison Card
ner, says: "LaFollette and Roosevelt
are working in harmony to control the
next republican national convention.
Between them they will have enough
progressive delegates to write the
platform and name the candidate. La
Toilette is and will remain the can
didate. Roosevelts position has been
announced too often to need reptltlon.
Roosevelt favors LaFollette and is not
a candidate himself. He declines to
eliminate himself as political FAC
tor. The only people who want Roose-
velt to eliminate himself as a polltlcal
factor are the standpat reactlonarles
who are still clinging desperately 70
the fortunes of Taft. The Roosevelt
I4aFollette combination is certain TO
sweep the boards. Reports that La
Toilette has been eliminated are cir
erlated by Jhe white house There ia
no foundation for them. The friends
of Taft are coming to realize that the
I.aFollette candidacy with Rooseyelts
Influence back of it and Roosevelt
himself in tie background will be too
powerful to withstand The only de-
velopment which now appears to be
logical is a formal announcement from
tho white house that Taft has decided
not to make the fight.

His Flag is Nailed Fast.

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-President
Taft's second term boomers found to-
dav another maze added to the
labyrinthian puzzle of presidential
politics The result was continued
air of mystery at the white house and
among politicians generally.
The situation revolved today about
a report that Col Roosevelt's silence
was assumed while the ex-president
waited to see If popular demands were
not strong enough to warrant his ac-
ceptance of such call as no citizen
would care to refuse.
This explanation of the Rooseveltian
attitude was generally accepted here.
AS against the other report-that
Taft. would withdraw in event OF
Roosevelt's candidacy-friends of the
president quoted him as saying to
friend that his flag was nailed to the
mast and that nothing could prevent
him from making the race but death.
At the white house it was said that
Secretary Hilles would dine with the
president. Politicians here generally
regarded this engagement as forecast
ing a conference between the presi-
dent and the man who is generally
supposed to be at the head OF ms
denomination movement

policeman present remembered having
seen the man on many occasions, but
none had heard his name.

old man in scmi-drunlScn condition
and no surprise was felt when a de.
livery boy took him to the station in
his wagon. THE old fellow was sick

the hoy as he drove away. hurrying to
make up for lost time.
The .iailer saw that the man was Nck
and helped him TO 4 cot in the base

sleep. Then the jailer summoned a
physician who responded in short
time. The two men went to the base
ment 10 sec what could be done for
tho sick man, but the cot WAS deserted.
Although the .iailer is a veteran, it was
thought that he had mistaken a drunk.

carly Saturday evening.
About midnight q policeman found
the old man and sent him 10 headquar

had been wandering about the streets,
doing little work. by which means he
derived a bare existence. He was a

who knew the old fellow best say that
he never begged. although he never
was known to refuse charity. ard he
never complained Nobody knew
whence lie came OF what his past had
been. Many had helped him at diff
