Concerning tho rumor which was circu

Ilanna said tonight:
"I have" seen tho report nnd all I havo
to say Is that tho convention Is compos 3d

thcro Is not thu least possibility of a thing
of that chtracter occurring."
Tho convention meets at 10 o'clock In tho
morning nnd tho leaders are sangulno
enough to bcllevo that everything wl 1
bo over by 3 o'clock. The program for
the nomination of vico president Is com-
pleto and New York stnto will not be
embarrassed in Its selection of Lieutenant I
Oovernor Woodruff as Its candidate. It hi
indeed possible that Lieutenant Governor '
Woodruff may himself make tho motion'
on behalf of New York state to suspend

his determination and has compelled lead-

ers close to the administration, to bw lo
a popular feeling that could not be sup

For Governor Roosevelt, it may be said
that he has resigned himself to tho situa
tion. Leaving tho convention, ho went di
rectly to the private house at which .Mrs.
Roosevelt was staying, declaring that he had
done everything in his power to stop tho
nomination and that he was now through.
At his headquarters many delegates called
and were told that he was not to be seen.
Most significant Is tbo attitude of tbe
Woodruff element. Mr. Woodruff himself
was not even ruffled. He smiled ns ho sold:
"I told Senator Hannn this morning that I
believed nothing could beat Mr. Roosevelt
for tho nomination. I further told him that
I had always believed that there would be
a great sentiment for him and I nover be
lieved that I stood any chance to be nom
inated if ho was taken up by the convention.
I do bellovo that It is not a combination that
will nominate him, but a genuine demand
by the people."
"What do you think of Mr. Long's
chances," was asked.
"He has no moro than I have against Roose
velt," ho said. "I met him on tho train
coming west from Boston a month ago and
I told him then that I belioved Roosevelt
was tho man."
"Will you move to make Mr. Roosevelt'
nomination by acclamation If ho has suf
ficient votes when New York is reached?"
was asked.
"No, I don't think so," ho said, with
twinkle In his oye. "I won't havo to. Ho
will bo nominated by acclamation long be
fore tho New York delegation getB a chance
to vote."
Mr. Woodruff is not a delegate, but could
be substituted for the purpose If bucIi a
course Is decided upon.
Piatt's FrlrnilM Alnrnipil.
In few If any national conventions has
the question of tho governorship of n state,
In this instance, New York, ontcred so
prominently In tho fight for national nom
inations. The removnl of Governor Rooso
volt from tho field brings two men prom
inently forward, Benjamin B. Odcll and
Timothy L. Woodruff. Senator Piatt's Ill
ness, which compelled him to go back to
Now York today, Is not sudden. For
months he has bean ailing and his friends
are alarmed and believe that ho may soon
have to retire from tho political arona. A
vacant United States senatorshlp, to be
filled by the next New York legislature,
would leave two offices, governor and sen
ator, for two candidates. It is known
that Mr. Odcll has senatorial aspirations,
while Mr. Wdodruff would like to bo in
Washington.
It is argued that with Governor Roosevelt
on tbe national ticket either man can have
an opportunity to securo tho stato nom
ination, Contrary to expectations, Governor Roose
velt appeared nt his headquarters about f)
o'clock tonight and tho first thing he did
was to absolutely deny tbo story that Mr.
Piatt had threatened him with defeat la a
gubernatorial campaign It ho icfused tho
vico presidential nomination.
"Tho story is an unqualified falsehood
without the shadow of foundation."
He had not been In his rooms long before
delegations from California and Maryland
called to assure him of support, and bo did
not oxpress to them any sorrow over tho
visit. Later a delegation from Iowa called
and nnnounced that It had withdrawn iti
candidate, Mr. Dolliver, and would voto for
Roosovelt.
Massachusetts called to pay that Senator
Lodge desired to see the governor and ho
left the looms and did not return. Ho de
clined beforo leaving to make nny sttte

Catching cold In the summer Is a mors
frequent occurrence than is most generally
supposed. Winter is generally supposed to
be the tlmo for colds, But cool nights al
ternating with hot days, sudden showers,
following sultry heat, profuse perspiration
and cooling draughts, aro all peculiar to
summer, which causes a multltudo of people,
to catch cold.
Mrs. Mary Lawier, of Apploton, Wis,, was
cured cf nn annoying summer cold by Pe
runa. In a recent
letter to Dr. Hart
man, sko says:
"Uist August I
taught a summer
cold which settled
In tho kidneys nnd
caused me serious
Inconvenience. Noth
ing I did seemed to
help mo and the doc
tor advised a change
of climate. As that
was out of tho qtiifttlon for mo, I tried re
runa hs a last resort and I found It was
God-send to me."
Summer colds require prompt
treatment. They are always grave
and sometimes dangerous. Ihc
promptness and surety with which
I'eruua nets In these cases ha
saved many lives.
A largo dose of reruna should bo taken
at tho first appoaraneo of a cold In summer,
followed by small and oft-repented doses.
