ROOSEVELT DECISION SOON.
Former Governor Fort Says He VIII
Make Position Plain.

Former Governor John Franklin
Fort, of New Jersey, following visit
to ex-President Roosevelt Thursday,
issued a statement in which he said
it will not be long before the ex-
president makes his position clear
Mr.. Fort said his interview was a
satisfactory one and that others were
present when he talked to the former
letters from several Western COVER
nors in the last week, all Of which
indicated trend in favor of the
nomination of Mr.. Roosevelt.
The former governor said he be-
lieved that, in view of the political
conditions in the country to-day, it
was either Roosevelt and evolution
or somebody else and revolution, :"
and that what the country needed
was a fixed, firm policy, and there
was no one in the country in whom
the people had the confidence they
had in Mr.. Roosevelt and in his
ability to establish and maintain such
a policy.
Former Senator Everett Colby, one
of the progressive republican leaders
in New Jersey, was another visitor
to Colonel Roosevelt When asked
why the progressives did not get up
a petition with Mr.. .Roosevelt's name
on it as a candidate for president,
Mr. Colby said he didn't know, but
that there might be something doing
along that line later on.
Edmund B. Osborne, president of
the Progressive Republican League of
New Jersey, says the progressive
leaders are opposed to the renomina-
tion of President Taft. He said, how
ever, that, unless Colonel Roosevelt
soon declares his position, President
Taft will be renominated on the first
ballot. If Roosevelt is not a candi-
date, Mr.. Osborne said, he believed
the progressives would support Sena-
tor La Toilette unanimously.

when the chemical engine was pur-
chased the hose reel was turned
over to the First Ward company. The
latter company has used a team to
draw the apparatus and in conse-
quence the old reel has seen some
pretty hard knocks.
The plan of the fire committee is
to purchase the chassis of an auto
truck and then turn it over to
local wagon builder and have hose
wagon body fitted to it. The chassis.
it is thought, can be bought for about
$500 and for $500 more the body
could be put on and the machine
equipped with several fire extin-
guishers and one or two short lad
ders, axes, bars, etc.
