Not only their political Relations scv-
sred but personal correspondence be-
twaen them has cased. Thds. d VEL
omen's, which are highly Interesting
In their baa'ing on the presdd N, .s,l
situation, became positively known to-
day.
The estrangement has no strings tied
TO 1t. The president and the forumsr
fres d nts are no longer political fri,mt
and personally they have r.aohsd tjh,
painting of the ways.
With friendly imKrcousre bs.wesn

eye completely cut off, ,ths supporters
OF Col. Roosevelt are prepariur TO
spring a Roosevelt presidential boom
onat Will be ome of THE biggest things
ON dhe po.ttcal horizon for Several
months 70 come.
IN putting this Roosevelt NOV. ment
under WAY his friends are net asking
MIN whether or not they can taka tia
initiative. They are giving linn to I'm
derstand that 1T is a matter ovs.r m,bic
he has no conrol.
Recant'y Unit.d States Senator. n
man OF Influence and .minanns in his
pra'y, met Col. Roosevelt in New
York. The Colonel ASKED him net to
gss active in the Roosevelt movsimen,s.
The friendship between th.m is
such that the Colonel knsw il this
Senator gets busy THE country will be
lieve that he is corn!viug at THE nomi-
nation.

not do. You connot tall ne whom /
shall supont for President. Thai is
none of your businl,,s. l am not for
you and for THE country is for you
and You are going 70 BE- nom.na.lai."
This conversation reveals the one
upon which Roos-wsi.'s frienGs are
acting in Launching the Roosevelt
boom ON large scale. They arr pro-
caeding ON tine tn DRY that lit is lcn,a
of RoOsevelt's business whom obey
support and they are for him, wtIa.her
he hlSas it or not.
The Colonel will take the nomination
if it comes to him, but he will NOT
meet it half wway. Nor will he mee:
1t single step of the way. lit must
come freely and with UPRISING una1i-
nifty.
The same Senator, when he heard
that Clifford Pinchot was mbout 10 give
out statement saying Roosevelt
would not take ths nomination Nit
comes to him, called up the Colonel
over the long distance teierhon,. IGis
Senator is now prepared 10 copper
Pinchot's statement, ii HE gives 1t out
with anCher in which he 0.ho Ssna-
tori declare that P.nrhOs was not
authorized to issue such sTtaltdmen..
The invasion of THE solid South" is
to begin at once in the quetIt for
Roosevelt delegates. The South has
basn regarded as the stronghold III
ways OF the administration In power.
How to rush the outpos.s and break
in on that stronghold is now bing
considered. Oeul Lyon, Republican
National Committeeman from Texas,
has baen gJivem gsneral charge of tho
Roosevelt invasion IN the South. He
declares there lis NO doubt nha, the
thirdy-sdx delegates from TEXAS In
thu national convention will be for
Roosevelt.
An interesting phase of nhs Roose-
welt m9venEmt is That number of
raac.ionaIy Senators who do not like
hair of Roosevelt's head are secret
ly joining the mOvtmeut.
This terms of cne-t third of the Sem
ators are about to expine and num-
br are abetting the Roosevelt boom
because they beilleve Roosevelt can
pull them Through.
1t has bem weeks since amy l.iItays
passed between Taft and ROOSEVELT
The bill OF complaint in the 6o.sal
Trust dissolution suit, which alleged
that Roosevelt was bunaoed by New
York finannsrs, is one OF THE things
that got ON bEls COlonal's naIws.
The adminis.ra ion leaders admit
priva.ely chaG the break has come.
but express a belif that Roosevelt
cannot be nominated unless he gets
personally INFO the game and forms
am organization. This thisy do NOT be-
lisve he will do.
RoOsaveats frbends assert they are
