POT,ICE DEPARTMENT OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK 300 Mulberry Street, New York, June 10, 1896. Dear Cabot: It la evident that McKinley has the nomination hands down; but I do hope that we aboil have the most vigorous kind of gold plank, and that we shall be against free silver at any ratio, I am delighted to see that the free sil ver men seem not to be championing Mr Kinley. We ought to disregard them utterly and I hope our people will see that a straddle will gain absolutely nothing; we shall lose a great deal if the demo crats go for free silver; It will give us a hard fight In the west; but it is a fight which Will be victorious only If we are JuSt as positive on the right side as they are on the wrong.* ’if »e assume a timid, halting, negative position T fear we shall get whipped, and, If so, disaster awaits the country. Yours always, THEODORE ROOSEVELT. POLICE DEPARTMENT OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK 300 Mulberry Street, New York, July 14, 1S96. Dear Cabot: What a witches’ sahhath they did bpld at Chicago! Bryan admirably suits the platform. I can't help hop ing that before November he wili have talked himself out, and his utter shallowness he evident, but Just at this moment J believe him to he very formidable, even In the middle west and, of course, In the far west and south. As you know, and have long said, the hardest fight the democracy could give ua this year was on the free silver issue. They have done wisely (if one dis regards considera tion of morality) in making the issue so thorough going; I here Is not a c rank or criminal In entire country who ought not to support them; and we have never had, save only during the civil war, a party whose success at the national election would have argued so ill tor national welfare. I am very glad that McKinley has came out so straight on the finance issue; we have got to meet them as boldly as they meet us. The bolt among the democrats here is fairly astounding; I have never seen any thing like It, and I believe that most of the Germans everywhere will be on our side. Bryan has no real substance to hint; I think tlie people will size him up by November and that we shall beat him hands down; hut we must not he deluded into the belief that there Is not to he a struggle in the states along the Mississippi valley. Give my best love to Nannie. Yours always, THEODORE ROOSEVELT. POLICE DEPARTMENT OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK 300 Mulberry street. New York, July 29, 1894. Dear Cabot: With Hanna I have had a very pleasant talk, and I dwelt especially upon the fact that In Massachusetts If he wished to get money help, which he so urgently needs, he must tie to you and George Lyman;* and he as sured me that he quite understood Osborne's** position, and Indeed the attitude of the other original McKin ley men In Massachusetts, and that he Intended to work through the Ntfr regular organization, and recognize Lyman and yourself as Us exponents, and the people to be considered; and that you were those whom he regard ad as I he people to be considered, both now and after election. Of course, I can only tell what he said he would do, anil not what he will do. As for matters here, he evidently feels rather gore with Platt, and not Inclined to call on Platt first; while Platt foolishly stands on a point of punctilio In refusing to make the first advance. I am going to send an urgent request to him today through Qulgg to see Hanna by all means. Fortunately, Hanna Is entirely against any split In the party here. Always yours.

POLICE DEPARTMENT OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK 300 Mulberry Street. New Y'ork, July 30, 1896. Dear Cabot: I had a second talk with Hanna, the conversation coming around to Massachusetts, I again dwelt on the fact that the only people who could help him were the men represented by you and Lyman, and that If there was the slightest suspicion that there was an effort to build up a machine against you by the use of patronage, it would be Impossible to get any real solid help from the only Bostonians who coulfl give Hanna the help he needs, that is money. I think you ought to make every effort to sec a good deal of him, and to have him meet you nt a dinner with but two or three other men, at the most, present. He is the type of man that despises big dinners, and any appearance of fuss; and he realizes that there la a very big fight on in the middle-west, and that he needs all the financial aid possible from the east. He is a good natured, well meaning, rough malt, shrewd and hard headed, but neither very far-sighter nor very broad-mind ed, and as he has a resolute, Imperi ous mind, he will have to he handled with some care; and yet he must be shown that the financial Issue must in many quarters be made the fore most issue, and must everywhere be made one of tlie two foremost. I don't mean to advise dropping the tariff on the contrary, we must force the tariff issue well to the front; but we must not subordinate to it the issue of sound money. Give my best love to Nannie. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. (To He Continued Tomorrow.) Potash Boom Town Mow But a Country Village Bridgeport, March 16.—Evidences of the boom at Antioch, when the potash Industry was at its zenith there, are being rapidly obliterated, and the town Is now but a country village. Wreck prs have just completed taking out ill the machinery from the Standard company plant, and a force is tearing lown the electric light poles and wires to be sent to Hyannls for use there. Rancher Attacked by Bull. Bridgepolt, March 16.—Elton Har -Is, rancher, Is laid up with a badlj' bruised leg and sprained ankle, stis tained in the attack of a vicious bull, hat charged him while he was rid ng away from the corral on his aorse, catching his left leg with Its horns. The animal started for him he second time, but he wheeled his horse and escaped. Today The President's Right. Killing tt ith Germs. Ron fils Startles l s. JT hat a Girl Should Re. By ARTHUR BRISBANE. N_/ President Coolidge says “the un broken practice of three genera tions of permitting the president to choose his own cabinet should npt be changed." The people that elected Mr. Cool idge with 7,000,000 votes to spare, would surely lot. him choose his cabinet, holding him responsible for what the cabinet does or fails to do. It is preposterous to make a man responsible for a job, and let •others choose the tools with which he shall work. Nevertheless, the constitution de mands that the senate pass on cabi net appointments, and there is the rub. The people who believe that Mr. Coolidge has chosen in Mr. Warren a thoroughly honest, capa ble and conscientious attorney gen eral, believe also that his nomina tion should be confirmed by the senate. k In the Shepherd case in Chicago, the prosecution deserves thanks for good work. A young man, very rich, made a will leaving all he had to his guar dian, William D. Shepherd. Soon thereafter he died of typhoid. The charge is made that Shepherd, the boy’s guardian, planted the typhoid germs in the body of his ward to cause death and get the money. Shepherd denied that he knew any thing about typhoid, or typhoid germs, and promised to make some body suffer. Now a witness swears that Shep herd in laboratory studied disease germs and inquired into the possi bility of administering typhoid germs without detection. The witness swears that after Shepherd left, a vial containing deadly typhoid germs was missing. Such murders, especially With the connivance of a physician, could be committed 99 times out of 100 with impunity. How many such murders have been committed to obtain inheritance or life insur ance? In Omaha a murderer serving a 12-year sentence for killing his, wife, is fighting td collect $1,500; life insurance on the wife he mur-j dered. And he may get the money. : 4 Thp district judge explains that while the law forbids “inheriting money through an act of violence,” an insurance policy is a contract, and even murder can not cancel it. Mr. Bonfils in his Denver Tost publishes the news that for every bathtub in the United States there are three automobiles. A meeting of sanitary engineers is startled by the information, hut the Bonfils’ announcement is just another proof of progress. Queen Elizabeth, who had a thousand dresses in her closets, did not have any bathtub, not even a shower. No wonder she retained her title, "The Virgin Queen." Three automobiles to one bathtub isn’t as bad as a thousand dresses and no bathtub. There is progress. Besides, an air bath is almost as good as a water bath, bathing the insides of the lungs with fresh oxy gen, may be more important even than bathing the outside of the body with fresh water. Only one person at a time can bathe in the same bathtub, where as from five to 10 can take an air bath in each automobile. Every thing you read indicates progress. Roman emperors and their very I rich courtiers had bathtubs. And once only a few Vanderbilts and others equally rich had automobiles. Now millions have bathtubs and au tomobiles both. Barnard college authorities tell what “a normal young woman must be.” “She must be able to jump 3 feet. 2 inches; throw a basket ball 25 feet; run 25 feet in 4.4 sec onds; climb 4 feet and vault a ' height of 11 feet, 8 inches. She must have a straight-line posture —no curves to front or back or sides, and she must have clear eyes, nearly red cheeks and a ready; smile.” (CopyrlglTf, 1925.)
