chapter after all.
He waited. He knew that she was
out there. collecting sll OF her strength
for the coming interview. She was
fortifying herself against the crisis
that was so near at hand. To his own

himself trembling and suddenly de-

stored up for the encounter. He won

situation after all, Notwithstanding his

And yet he wondered whether he
would be able to stand his ground
against her.
So far she had ruled. At the outset

He clenched his strong, lean hands

wonder filled him as he allowed his
eyes to measure the distance to the

was giant in strength and yet he
trembled at the approach Of this slen-

He was sorely afraid and he could not

Mr.. WINS thereupon read into the
record perhaps twenty published state

of them came after Barnes's victory

Barnes as TIE real leader of the party.

abhorrent to decent men. and accusing
him of being the worst kind of boss,
was read with particular zest by Mr..
WINS.
In a statement Of June 81. 1912, the
Colonel asked how Barnes, Penrose and
Guggenheim would look standing along
side the founders OF the Republican
party.

7. R. ADMITS RELYING ON
PLATT FOR ADVANCEMENT

When Col Roosevelt returned to the
witness stand this morning he was inn
mediately questioned about the letter
he wrote on February /. 1900, pleading
With Plat for another term a. Governor
and urging against nomination for the
Vice-Presidency.
He was asked IL he had valued the
advice of Senator Plat. He replied that
he had. lie had lad many meetings
and talks with Plat about his future.
Their relations had been very friendly.
This letter. written by Plat to Roose-
Welt on February D, 1900, was read into
the evidence.
MY DEAR GOVERNOR: ] have hardly
had time to give the consideration II
deserves TO your letter OF February l
and the matters involved therein and
am inclined to take more time for
mature elaboration.
The Vice Presidential question Is
considerably improved and 1t looks
now as though | should he able to get
TO New York soon. at which time we
can personally discuss the Vice Presi-
Dental and other questions.
Roosevelt testified that Plat came to
New York and that he discussed the
situation with Plat. Tie Vice-Presi-
him and he wrote TO Plat on February
as follows:
Your very kind note has Just been
received. ! note that you expect TO
be in New York on saturday. II so
! shall not try to lunch with you. but

They exchanged letters. later In Feb
ruary. concerning legislation to abate
the Barren Island nuisance in Jamaica
Bay. Gov Roosevelt notified Plat that
the Democrats under Senator Grady
were trying to beat the measure. Platt
had inside information as to why and
confided 1t TO the Governor:
am in receipt OF yours OF tho
eth relating to Barren Island ques-
ton. You will remember THAI l was
the one who was most importunate
with you on the question of abating
tho nuisance and was very fearful
