PLAY POLITICS IN HOUSE.
Roosevelt Letter, Praising Taft,
Read Amidst Laughter.

\ little game of politics was played to-
day in the House of Representatives as an
immediate result of the outcome of the
republican national convention. Repre-
sentative Campbell of Kansas. one of
President Taft's most ardent supporters,
obtained unanimous consent to read to the
House letter written by Col. Roosevelt
about four years ago. praising Taft.
Laughter and applause marked the
reading of the letter, which became even
more general when the reading was in
terrupted long enough for the House to
receive message from the President
which arrived at that time from the
White House. In his letter Col. Roose-
welt used extravag CANT language in praise
of President Taft.
Hardly had ths reading of this letter
been concluded when Representative Hell
lin of Alabama obtained consent to have
read Col. Rooseveit's statement. Issued
June II in Chicago, declaring himself in
the fight for the people and charging the
administration and its supporters with
nearly every crime on the calendar. The
democrats and one or two insurgent re-
pubiicans laughed loudly.
