HOOPER AT

Republican Prospects.

publican presidential politics and the
part the Tennessee delegation is to play
in the republican national convention
at Chicago next June were the subject
under discussion at conference he
tween President Taft and Governor
+. W. Hooper at a luncheon at the
white house, that lasted more than an
hour this afternoon. #
The Tennessee executive, who reach

icatye frame of mind when he emerged
from the white house. He was will
ing TO do anything but 60 into details
as to what passed between him and
the chief executive of the nation. The
only statement he would make with
reference to presidential politics was
not very Illuminating. The governor
even declined to state his preference
for the republican presidential nomi-
nation, and limited himself 10 this
utterance: Tennessee has been so alb
sorbed with state politics that there
has been very little discussion of
national politics amongst the demo-

convention is called to meet, the voters
Of both parties in the state will begin

THE TIDE EBBING FOR ROOSEVELT
Prominent Western Senator Predicts Reorganization ot T.f,
Souno argument AGAINST Attempt to Force Roosevelt
Into the Presidential Race

Washington, Feb. II -(Special IA prominent Rocky nn,oin
United States senator said today:
"There aet two things which, while not governed nv the stot,tas
have become, through long usage aud respect, almost the .unwritten
law The hrst is that a president should be re-nominated nv his
party, and if possible re elected to a second term or the oror,d tba,
he will probably make a wiser executive by reason of the experience he
has had, and perhaps a safer ruler because of the fact (second snp
written law) That the president may not have a third term or the n
mnation for 1t. and therefore his. whole time and heart ia given r.,
the work of his office, without the diverting influences of having to
provide for an approaching denomination"
"Wea are confronted in the present equation with the dsnoar Of
breaking both of these uuwriten laws unless we stand by Taft because
if we array ourselves for Roosevelt at the present time or in the future
we will be not only departing from the rule of a second term for the
president, but also breaking the rule of no third term for a president
at is claimed by agood many that Roosevelt was only elected once
and while that is true, W ar all familiar with the declaration of Roos4-
welt made seven years ago, when he said"
"Under no circumstances will be a candidate for orr ccapt IN
other nomination."
mount to breaking the rule for him to be again nominated; and the
gression"
Furthermore, we would be forsaking a known, honorable can
didacy of a deserving man to go to a man who has announced repeat
eddy that he is not a candidate, and no one can truthfully sneak for
him and say he is a candidate or that he would accept the nomination.
Il am aware of the natural adm iraton of the dasbinp Roosevelt
throughout the Rocky mountain states, and the reason for it; and l
I'm aware that there have been tremendous propaganda forced high in
his favor in the last two months; but from both private and public in

Winter Replies to Senator Taylor

To the Editor of The Saratoga Sun
Referring to an article printed

AIRY LIST, signed by w. Fl. Taylor,
l notice my name coupled with
several statements relative to the
Carbon County State Senatorship.
The reason for involving my
name in a four column defence of
MIR. Taylor, in the matter of the
French Creek Irrigation project,
with which | am not and have not
been connected, can only be sur
missed. It's insertion in the article,
even if the statements in connect

branding the writer as a betrayer
of confidence,
l have no thought or time to
waste on Mr.. Taylor or his affairs.
If he is laboring under the delu-
sion that l have he should at once
take treatment for incipient par a
noia. Ny time is employed with
better matters. l will not take
time or space to correct errors in
in Mr. Taylor's article which are
immaterisl. But 1 desire to say
that Mr.. Taylor's statement that l
told him that the state senatorship
of Carbon County had been 'pro-
missed" me by the chairman or
any member of the Republican
state committee" is absolutely
untrue. l brand it unreservedly
as a falsehood. and the writer as in
every way qualified for the Presi-
dency of the Platte Valley Ana
MAS Club.
Mr. Taylor remarks that he "was
very much surprised to learn that
the chairman ror any member of
the Republican state committee
never made Mr.. Winter such a
pledge" Judgingfrom Mr.. Taylor's
article in so far as it pertains to
me | should say that perhaps he is
frequently surprised at the truth,
1t does not seem to have occurred
to the Taylor intelligence that this
statement reveals his idea of OBJ
tanning office. My conception of
a state senatorship of Carbon
County is that a nomination and
election to that honorable Office
comes from the people of Carbon
County and not from the hands Of
the chairman or member of the
state committe" mol from a Law
office or railroad Office, at Cheyen.

Many devout Jews remained all
night in the synagogues; all spent
most of the day there beginning with
the morning service at 10 O'Clock.
The services will be continuous until
sunset. Among them none stands out
more prominently in devout exposi-
ton of the spirit of the Day of Atone
ment than the annual memorial SER
vice which started in all the places at
3 o'clock. Prayers for the dead all
over the world without distinction for
sect or nationality and the reading of
the names of the prominent men and
women who during their lives were
noted for their philanthropy and
charity or who may have given their
lives that others might live, as in the
case of the victims of the Titanic dis
aster, will characterize this service.
For the children there will be special
services previous to the memorial SER
vice; among them only those who are
under Is years of age in the case of
males and under Il years in the case
of females are excused from the gen.
eral fast.
At sunset the final service and the
blowing of the "shofar'' will indicate
to the faithful the end of the long
fast and the last of the ten peniten-
tial days of the Jewish year From
then on the ordinary routine in reli-
gious life will be resumed until sun
set of next Wednesday, when the
seven days service of the "Succoth"
or Feast of the Harvest will begin.
Fruits of the orchards, grains and
grasses of the field and the articles
of food value of every description
will be displayed in the synagogues
in evidence of the thankfulness of the
people to the Providence that supplies
their means of sustenance.
