Regarding arbitration, Colonel Roosevelt, Roose-velt, said: "In considering international peace. I wish to look back to the seven and a half years when T was president. I said always just what I intended to do about pence, and I did it. I said I would never consent to the "United States not acting, toward other nations with scrupulous justice. I lived up to it. "Understand, I would not have tho nation submit to a wrongdoing. I was careful"not to have a thing done by tho United States which was not iustifled by ethics, but T was not willing wil-ling to jeopardize the national honor. Under my administration, we made Tho Hague court, which had bocomo moribund, mori-bund, a live instrument for )romoting international peace. Every act that I could submit to arbitration. I did. "I want to call your attention to the fact that I was the only president that got tho Nobel poace prize, aud T would not have got it if I wanted peaco because be-cause T was afraid of war. "I will 110 more agree to arbitrating questions which should not bo arbitrated arbitra-ted between nations than J would agree to arbitrate questions that should not be arbitrated by individuals." In referring to Senator Gallinger, he said: "On the fourth of July Mr. Gallinger would oay that the rule of the people was right, but ho would not say it when the legislature was in session."

Taft. will have over 7G0 votes on tho first test of strength in tho convention, con-vention, enough to control. Supporters of tho national administration predominate predomi-nate in six of the eleven congressional districts, so it is assured thoy will control. con-trol. With the votes on tlio floor to sustain committeo actions, it is ccr-tnin ccr-tnin that tho administration of Taft will be highly lauded. There was probably no one thing- in the prc-eonvention campaign that did more io swing the control from the Cummins forces to Taft than the absolute abso-lute refusal of the Cummins machino in the Seventh district to permit the district dis-trict convention to incorporate one word of praise for tho national administration admini-stration in its resolutions.
