was working together, with AZ least one
harmonious purpose-to beat Roosevelt
The difference Of opinion, IL was said,
was as 20 which man was the best one
to use 10 accomplish that purpose, Mr..
Root or Mr. Hughes. As one OF the
Barnes men put u:
Both factions are trying 20 accom-
piish the defeat OF Roosevelt for he
nomination. One is worsing into IL

We know where Mr. Root stanos. and
that he will be with US 90 the tnisn.
The issue and the situation are alive 70

their fight for Hughes. and find them
selves IN the air az the last minute.
While we may have no objection 10
Hughes, we can't make good, nara
fight for him now. not until he lets US
know where he stands
The Barnes crowd admits that there
are ten or twelve delegates from TINS
state who would support Roosevelt II
they had 4 chance. but they are deter
mined not to give them that chance.
