To tho Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: I have just read the letters Of your

thank you again and again for doing
everything possible to bring about the re-
election OF President Taft No man ever

and not one OF them made a better Presl-
dent than he has been.
Five gentlemen met recently I'm an Of
fee in Pearl street. One OF them said he
would as soon vote for the devil as for
Roosevelt. 80 would l." said another. A
third said he would throw away his vote
by casting It for the Prohibitonist and
the other two said they would vote for the
Democrat II by any chance Roosevelt got
the nomination. All five were men from
sixty-hve to seventy years old who have
voted for every Republican President
from Grant 10 Taft.
As with these five so It will be with
the great and mighty army OF silent vot-
ers when Election Day cOmes--the mill

TRAVELLING IY 4 CLRCLE.

In their efforts TO purge" the tempo
rary roll of the national convention by
some irregular method, the supporters Of
Colonel Roosevelt have been travelling
for the last two days around a circle
They brought up yesterday afternoon at
exactly the same point from which they
started on Tuesday morning. Governor
Hadley and others have spent hours ar
gulng in favor of advance action on the
credentials Of certain delegates placed on
the temporary roll. They seemed to have
persuaded themselves that by some mys-
terious process the convention could not
only act as its own committee on creden-
tials. but could also dispense in so act
Ing with any assistance from those Of its
members against whom contests were
waiting to be filed after a committee to
hear them should have been appointed.
Yet every consideration Of order and
fairness required that the contests which
might be entered should be disposed Of
after examination on the part Of a COM
mittee representing the convention. Prac-
tically the same delegates would pass on
the committees recommendations that
were asked TO act on the "pUrging'
amendments, without waiting for a com
mittee report. In fact, the burgers"
were sure to be benefited by seeking

vance for the committee to follow. Dele

so?
