obtains them through contributions and
is selling the book at $1 per copv, or
for 50c a copy of lots of ten or more.

matter and is said to Le the best Cam

purchasing the book. The committee
did valiant service in Maine with

Taft and Roosevelt Meet
New Haven, Conn., Sept. 21 The
second meeting of President Tast and
Colonel Roosevelt was held Monday.
The meeting was over the situation in
New York state, about which both are
worried. The recent republican defeat
in Maine has given them much anxiety
about New York state Roosevelt has
plainly intimated that he will not run
for governor and that he will refuse
the nomination.
Taft is willing to iiin again if nomi
nated but he is not seeking the nomi
nation. If the people of the United
States do not appear to want him a
second term he will not ruti. The
meeting was not successful or any bet
ter understanding the President and
Colonel Roosevelt, although it seams
that a truce has been arranged in Nw
YdfK sUte.
The presidency of 1912 was not dis
cussed, but the shadow of the coining
electi )i) overhung the meeting, and
while it may have been of advantage
to the Roosevelt leaders it was barren
of any results looking toward any bet
ter understanding or feehug between
the two men on national issues.
Mrs. W. S. Achasun returned from
an extended visit to Denver on Satur
