The Washington times., 1912-06-18

Photographers sought permission, to,
take a hashlight picture of the pair of
weary politicians, but cid not succeed.
"Paging" For Publicity.
Eddie Burk, marager of the Con-
greRE Hotel, says that many of the Oh
scure delegates at the convention who
gre aspiring for publicity have them
selves PACED In the lobby several times
day
"One state representative from out in
Utah gives his name to the page at
least a dozen times a day." Mr: Burk
said. Then he sits in the lobby and
name.'
Not q Suffragette.
Mrs. Frank B. Kellogg, wife of
Roosevelts trust buster, has arrived
in Chicago and is stopping at the
Blackstone.
I'm not a suffragette. I don't care
| how this thing is going to turn out,
she said. II Just came here to take
he's in a fight like this, he won't take
care of himself I've got little
apartment in the quietest corner of
the Blackstone Hotel and I'm making
the automobile and the chauffeur, and
I'm going to take my husband back
and forth from the Coliseum in the
car. II cant see him at any other
| time during the convention than dur
ing our trips between the hotel and
the convention hall, I'll at least get
| the opportunity then to see how he's
standing the strain"
A Family Divided.
Civil war? All the horrors of family
divisions that come with civil wars,
,,,tp, haA he -a1
in Chicago wherever convention dele
gates gather today.
If you want the facts just ask Mrs.
Patrick Door. of Westvile, Okla. Until
few months ago her husband was the
postmaster of that city. Then Colonel
| Roosevelt threw his hat into the ring.
| Mr.. Door, an enthusiastic Roosevelt ad-
| vocate, leaped into the ring after IT..
| first resigning the office of postmaster.
Well. you can be for Colonel Roose-
welt II you want to, but 1 am going to
fight for President Taft: / know that
he is right in this light" said Mrs.
Door.
| the attitude she had assumed. At any
| rate, he appointed her postmistress.
The result is that Mrs. Door and her
husband both are at the Congress Hotel
working for their opposing candidates.
| The husband wears big Roosevelt
badge: his wife wears an equally no.
ticeable Taft badge.
But there are no political arguments
between them. 1t was agreed before
they left Oklahoma that II they were
| to continue to live together 1t would
not do to discuss the political situation.

Maybe He's Stalling.
j Clifford Pinchot, former chief forester,
seems to be a most popular man. or at
least to have a tremendously large cir
Gle of acquaintance. He may step into
an elevator, but only to be grasped by
the hand by some person and reminded
Of the circumstances of their last meet
Ing; when he steps out 1t Is to run into
, the arms of another who instantly rec
ognizes him and insists on renewing an
! acquaintance that may be chilled by
many feeting winters. In every room
Pinchot never let's 1t annoy him. He
also appears to have an excellent mem.
ory,or maybe he merely is good
"staller."
