That he considers Roosevelt the dis
turbing element in the party today;
that if he would withdraw his mans he
could unite the party. and that for this
reason he does not feel that he can
support the candidacy for delegate of
Frank j. Hogan is the declaration
made by Mr.. Wardman in a letter dated
March ?, written to the latter. In it
he says. in part:
AS you want united party the

would be to use your influence to have
Roosevelt withdraw. The result would

Any understanding that Mr. Hogan
had in regard to Mr.. Wardman's giving
him support, states the latter in his
letter, came from the fact that Mr..
Hogan had led him to believe that
Roosevelt was not candidate, and
that he considered that Mr.. Hogan had
adequate information to this effect.

Rritain's Troubles
Due to Recruiting

today men are feigning illnesses to es-

anxious moments for Premier Asquith
and the coalition government directing
British interests in the present great

worse than at any time since the war

boards for the reason that the govern
ment already is considering the calling OF
several more groups of married men dur

married men during the week one speaker
declared premier Asquith Is either a liar
or a fool for denying that his pledges have

that a big per cent Of the 100000 yet
available for service in the ranks OF the
British army are single men who have
