Further than this, Senator Beverldge Bever-ldge would not go. "I start on my vacation tomorrow," he added, "and It Is needless to say that I go in a very happy frame of mind." Senator Beeridge sold he camo to Oyster Bay by appointment and that his visit had nothing to do with the other visitors here today. "I found Colonel Roosevelt," ho added, "more alive and more interested inter-ested in things than ever." Winston Churchill's Visit. Winston Churchill was as careful as Beverldge to hold back Information Informa-tion as to tho conversation between Roosevelt, the Bass brothers and himself. "Colonel Roosevelt has been interested inter-ested in tho fipht since it began In 1906, when I ran for governor," ho said. "This year, Robert R. Bass of Pe-tersboro Pe-tersboro is a candidate for governor. He may be classed with the Insurgents, Insur-gents, but tlni New Hampshire Republican Re-publican organization has not opposed op-posed bis nomination. Mr. Rooseelt wanted to know about the situation In New Hampshire and I am an old friend of his, I came down to tell him." "Did Mr. Roosevelt indicate his attitude atti-tude in regard to the fight In New Mampshlre?" "Only by his friendly attitude. He said nothing to show his views." Bass for Governor of N. H. Then Mr. Churchill produced a paper pa-per on which he had written a statement. state-ment. Here it Is: "Our whole purpose in New Hampshire Hamp-shire this summer is to make Mr. Buss governor and to elct a legislature legis-lature to support him We have done nothing else- we have meddled with nothing else. We know Mr. Pas's is uncompromising. He has been with the progressive movement tlnce It started. He is Incapable of making political deals. "The people of the state trust hhn and his nomination and election will be a clear cut victory, a signal stage In the fight we began four years ago." Carter's Grave Look. Senator Carter looked gravely at the Interviewers and Informed thm that the people In his part of the country were not hearing much about the insurgent movement Just now.
