;hat his faith in the integrity of tn.
r1nl; and iile of the Republican party
served to calm in his mind any doubt
ABOUT tho election OF pinchot.
lnasmuch rs it was the Coloncls first
political statement since his return ana
more or less an open Irritation with the
Republican writer's, the Coloners words
serve To indicate the way the cam
paiGn plans are shaping behind the
closed doors OF the Roosevelt library
Cries come up when IL Is the duty Of
all good citizens TO sink ordinary party
differences and stand up either against
ilaErant Wrongdoing In public life or

They. rs the New Haven steamship

Sycamore Hill. so the rumor goes to-
night, will be the stage for real war
