Mr.. Woodruff said he could not stand
the high-handed methods of the ma
tional committee, being sensitive
young person and having his nerves
wracked by the presence of Bill
] Barnes, also of New York, as Taft
: leader There was some other shifting
back and forth, but the net result of
the day was that while one side may
have gained some. and one side lost
some, neither side knows exactly what
it has, and neither will know until
the first test vote comes.
Roosevelt Was Star.
/ The star of the days performance
was Col. Roosevelt. He sat most of the
time in his room in the Annex and
saw the boys as they were brought to
.him. Nor has the Colonel lost any Of
the magnetism by which he used to
make his callers at the White House
think they were at that moment the
exact persons of all the worlds pOpu-
lation he most loved and most desired
! to see. "Of course" he said, 81 am glad
to see you"-with heavy emphasis on
the 'you"-"and l know you'-with
hard bearing down on the "you''-and

Saturday night by standing by Sam

ton contests, took an excursion to a
country club, but they were a worried
set. They had performed according to
plans and specifications, and now
they were wondering if the actors they
have selected will speak the lines as
signed to them or will decide to do a
little impromptu acting of their own
when they get in the limelight. They
do not know. Nor did it cheer them
up any to have Montana man tell
them the story of the time the late
William F. Sanders of that state rode

has been too much of this high hand

This must not go on. This man must
not be hanged in this summary man

The Taft men stuck sturdily to their
figures. They said, at the least, Taft

first ballot, and that Root will be
made temporary chairman by fully 600
votes, it being held that some of the
