Battle Creek Speech to
BristIe with Typical
Epigrams.
MEETING WITH TAFT
APOLITICAL REUNION
Hughes's Hoarseness Is
Source of Worry to
Leaders.

The first broadside in Colonel Roose-
velt's second drive against the Wilson
administration is to be aimed at the
Adam.on eight-hour law and the man
ner Of its passage According to
those who have been permitted n
neep at this speech, which is to be
delivered ut Battle Creek, September
30. it fairly bristles with typicaiiy
Rooseveltian epigrams and all the hre
that characterized the Lewiston re-
marks on hyphenates.
This much was learned yesterday At
the close Of a long conference between
the Colonel and William R. Wilcox,
chairman Of the Republican National
Committee. When Mr.. Wilcox left
the Union League Club late in the az
ternoon he carried bulky document
in his inside pocket, copy of the Bat
tie Creek speech.
The chairman refused TO comment
on il other than to say that he nad
found il most interesting reading.
That he had thoroughly approved OF
II, contents was apparent from his
broad smile as he made his few
guarded remarks about the document.
No Formal Ratchet Burial
Colonel Roosevelt refused to COM
ment on his scheduled meeting witt
former President Taft at the Union
League Club, October 3. 1t was
learned, however, that there would be
nothing in the way Of formal bury
ing of the Ratchet between the once
close political associates. Neither
will the two speak from the same
platform-a situation mutual friends
have been endeavoring to bring about
ever since the break following the
Coloneps return from Africa.

between the two has been healed for
all political purposes. They WI
