two boxes stuck up in the fence
corners on a side hill, and they
were so far up the carrier had to
stick his head out of the window
to see if there were any letters
in the box and his hat blew off.

close in order to reach the box

President Nicholas Murray Butler of
Columbia University acting as tempo
rary chairman, the New York Repub-
order here today. The friends of Col
Roosevelt are on hand, prepared to
make a last ditch fight against the in
struction of the four delegates at large
for President Taft, but it is probable
that they will fail In any event. The
delegates will be Taft men, and the
platform a Taft platform.
Convention Hall wasd filled to the
limit with buzzing, babbling delegates
when the hour set for the opening of
the convention arrived. Chairman
Butler, the temporary chairman, is I'M
derstood to be for Taft, although he
is a personal friend of Col. Roosevelt,
and was the manager of Roosevelt's
interests in the national convention
in Philadelphia, in 1900. when the
Colonel was nominated for tNe vice
presidency.
Col. Roosevelt's most stubborn fight
in the convention win be against hav-
ing the party in this state definitely

he is not alone. for some of the old
