Good Nature the Rule.

Good nature is the rule among all OF
the national committeeman and dele
gates. None is too harassed by puz-
cling political entanglements to deny
any one smile and handshake.
IAN old crab has lots of luck IN
this game don't Think" laughed
Senator Dixon, Roosevelt's manager,
after he had passed out dozen puIaat-
ing hand grasps. Then he walked
over to former Senator Dick-Taft
contest director-in the lobby OF ma.
tional committee headquarters at the
Coliseum annex and slapped him on
the back.
"Lo," said Mr.. Dixon.
Right back at you, senator" smiled
Mr. Dick.
Those who were near the two chiefs
of the hostile camps could hear boy
ish Joe" and Charley" being ex-
changed at times. They were like old
college chums Friendly eye twinkling
scenes between chiefs and lieutenants
and subalterns of the opposing forces
were common.
One noteworthy meeting that start
ed amicably and ended in torrid ar
gument was between Joseph Healing
of Indiana and Congressman Lucius
c. Littauer of New York.

Teddy's Bulldog.

When the Roosevelt press bureau
arrived from Washington they brought
with them a new campaign song, which
is causing a smile even among the
Taft delegations. 1t is to the tune of
Casey Jones'"
Teddy's gotta dawg, but he amt no
hound,
He's square jawed bull, and his face
is round,
His legs is short, and he's close to the
ground, ,-. sid. .....la ---
And you bet they amt kickin' Teddy's
dawg around.
CHORUS.
Square jawed bull, and his face is
round,
Squared jawed bull, and his face is
hound,
Short legged bull, close to the ground,
bull around.
The Democratic dawg, the unlucky
hound
That the boys have all been kickin'
around
Is the same old dawg that's been stick
in roun'
Since old Abe Lincoln came to Wash
ington town.
And now he comes back, the measley
hound,
With his face and his tail still hangin'
down,
The hungry, sly old lop cared hound,
No wonder the boys have been kickin'
round.

ut can't be all work and no play"
said the prince.
Since Roosevelt delegation came
into the Congress singing parody on
the "Houn' Dog" Taft supporters have
begun to put themselves in practice
for the campaign yells.
Short, long, loud and sharp, they
come in all varieties. Some are for
use before and some after the nomi-
nation. A mourning song is being
written, bemoaning the fate of Ted
dy." and several in jubilation, in an
ticipation Of the success Of Taft. A
farewell yell will be put in use later.
The last line tells the whole story.
We're going home, we're broke"

A New One From Texas.

Col Cecil Lyon of the Texas dele
cation, and an irresponsible supporter
of Roosevelt, had a new story to tell
to take the place of his old one about
the cataclysm in Yoakum county, Tex
as, where Democratic county conven-
ton instructed for Roosevelt, causing
Wilson supporters to bolt.
II was walking down the street with
Charles Hilles in Washington the
other day." began Colonel Lyon, after
some one had said President Tafts
secretary had arrived at the Black
stone hotel.
"A small delivery wagon passed.
the colonel continued. 81 looked uI
and saw four large volumes stacked
on top with the titles facing us. Three
of the books were reports of the Re
publican conventions of 1900, 1904 and
1908. The fourth was Problems OF
the Day. by William H. Taft. / di

him four years ago. This year Mr.
