republican bbate convention for governor of ohio ile he la Is still coy mr longworth as the world knows or ought to know Is tho the sonin son inlaw of former president theodore roosevelt the ohio representative e has told president taft several times that he Is and will continue to bo be as 03 long as the present taft endeavor la Is continued a strong and sincere supporter of the

and reg just ns as they are in other states although the outward manifestation of party trouble has not been as aa marked in ili ohio as it has been elsewhere tho the democrats scout the be truth of any statement to tho the effect that a mere mer relationship lation lations ship bip by between mr roosevelt will have brive any sentimental or other effect in deciding tho the election in ohio next fall in new york the govern governorship situa ion 0 n ise Is extremely interesting colonel roosevelt Hoo sevelt when he returns Is expected to try to straighten out state affairs even though ho he takes tio no hand in national affairs and says saya nothing pro or con upon the taft administrations achievements it II seems possible that if the tha roosevelt velt influence prevails and if the reed record 0 r d which william Wil linin loeb jr collector of the ilie port of new york has made in a score of cases stands him in good sten stead t that at ho 0 w who 0 once on a time was mr Roosevel olta ts secretary will be the republican candidate for governor it may inay be that the democrats will nominate william J laynor mayor or now new york city for the governorship of the state provided

readily can be seen what prestige each w will I 1 have fave as a candidate for the democratic nomination for the presidency sees sec roosevelt opposing taft william jennings bryan lias has said according to press reports that he be believes when theodore roosevelt returns to america he will be found in the ranks of tho the insurgents and that instead of standing in defense of the taft

that senator root by his statement of the case cage of tho the administration i can 0 entirely convince the tha colonel t that h a t mr taft has been sincere and whole hearted in ili his endeavors

anything else the real heartfelt interest of the colonel of rough hough in measures to safeguard the peoples pe heritage of natural resources issue closely drawn this matter in the minds of many resolves itself into this A sharp drawn issue with conservation as its basis between the resource reEo urco saving policies of theodore roosevelt ana those ol of william II if tatt taft it has been charged by somo some of the extreme conservationists is ts that president tatt taft Is not wholly in sympathy with their movement it II he signs the james river dam bill they will say that the tact

were outside of the held field ot of reason this particular james river Is in missouri and tho the purpose of the bill la is to permit certain specific persons to construct colle eruct a dam across it in stone stobo county and to divert a portion of its waters through a into thu the river again to create electric power the james river liver Is a navigable stream at least it Is so BO held to be in
