ROOSEVELT IS GENEROUS
THE COLONEL RENoUNcES CLAIM
TO DELEGATES ELECTED FOR
HIM IN MASSACHUSETTS.
Roosevelt Says the People Are En-
titled to Have Exactly What
Their Votes Indicate.

Oyster Bay, N. Y-Colonel Roose.
welt renowned his claim to the eight
delegates at large to the Republican
national convention elected for him
in Massachusetts.
He wired them that he would ex-
pect them to vote for President Taft,
taking this action, he said, because of
the fact that President Taft carried
the state on the presidential preferen-
tial vote.
Colonel Roosevelt announced his
decision in statement, copies Of
which he telegraphed to each of the
eight delegates at large elected re-
Gently.
The statement follows:
I'm Massachusetts the ballot con-
tanned ne names of eight candidates
for delegate-at-large with, printed I'M
der each, the words, pledged TO vote
for Theodore Roosevelt and also con-
tanned a column in which the voter
was to express his preference as to
whether or Mr.. Taft should be nom
mated as president.
1T would seem unlikely that a ma
jority of the voters would both vote
for the delegates pledged to me and
at the same time express a prefer
ence for Mr.. Taft, but apparently
this is what has happened.
"Such being the case and on the as
sumption that the preferential vote is
for Mr.. Taft, I hereby announce that
shall expect these delegates at large
to disregard the pledge to support me
and support Mr.. Taft; and if any one
of them hesitates to do so, shall i'm
mediately write him and urge him
with all the emphasis and insistence
in my power to take the course in
Dictated and support Mr.. Taft in the
convention"

Matron's Beautiful Figure, Admired

at lnopportune Time.

At dinner party given lately in
Paris one lady was remarked above
all others for the elegance Of her fig
ure and the perfection Of her toilet.
During the mauvais quart d'heure be-
fore dinner she was surrounded by
host of admirers, and one less bashful
than the rest ventured to offer her the
flower from his buttonhole, 1t was
accepted, but as the princess robe"
worn by the graceful creature was
laced behind, it was necessary to
fasten the flower to the front of her
dress with a pin. The operation was
successfully performed, and the fair
lady was led in to dinner, by the
donor Of the flower, They were hard
ly seated when he heard a curious
sound like the gentle signing of the
wind, and on turning toward his part
ner he saw with horror that the lovely
figure was getting small by degrees
and beautifully less" The rounded
form had disappeared before the soup
was over, and long before the first en-

in great folds about a scraggy frame

The long ballot employed in the

be in evidence in the second race, a
large number of candidates having
been eliminated. The ballot will be
shorter and will not require near as
much time to vote or count.
Ii The votes on the other state off

Ecloseness of the races will make the
official canvass necessary before the
result is known.
