ROOT STRONG TAFT PARTISAN 1 Roosevelt’s Secretary of State Taku ! lssue With Former Chief—Former Secretary Shaw ls Lined Up With Colonel's Forces. By GEORGE CLINTON. ‘Washington.—It has been written how members of Mr. Roosevelt's cab- inet today are divided in their allegi- ance between him and President Taft in the matter of presidential succes- sion. It is said that all of Mr. Roose- velt’s cabinet officers, whether they | are supporting him or not, still have a strong personal affection for him, and this makes their antagonism to his ambitions probably the harder for them. Elihu Root, now senator of the United States from New York, was as close personally to Mr. Roosevelt as any man in Washington. The sen- | ator ordinarily is spoken of as a cold man, but there was & warmth in his relations with Theodore Roosevelt which showed that underneath the { eold exterior some fires burned. ‘When the corner stone of the Bu- reau of American Republics building was laid, both Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Root made speeches and the then president in speaking of Mr. Root's work as secretary of state said that in the whole history of the country there had been no greater secretary than Blihu Root. Mr. Roosevelt de pended on Mr. Root to give to the country a good many of his views on @overnment. There were some things in which M. Roosevelt believed that Mr. Root did not believe in, but the president always knew how to dif- ferentiate and when Root could mot speak from his heart on a certaln legisiative subject, Roosevelt would not ask him 5o to do, but would send some one else into the fleld whese heart was really engaged in the mat- ter which the president Wwished pre- sented. Strong in Friendshipe. Elihu Root is a man of seeming con- He is spoken of frequent- ly as an “aristocrat,” but when he ! was secretary of state Mr. Root was as Democratic as any clerk in the de- partment. He absolutely refused to use the carriage and horses which the I government put at his disposal and i invariably walked back and forth to his work, disdaining in the coldeat weather the use of an overcoat. years Mr. Root has made a hahlt ot | wearing a flower in his button-hole and almost invariably it is a fiower of | @ Kind which grew in the old-fashioned gardeas. The senator goes to his summer home on the top of Clinton ! Hill near Utica in April every year | and there “makes garden.” He owns ! the house on Clinton Hill in which he was born, the house in which his fa- ther, Oren Root, lived for the half cen- tury that he was professor in mathe- matics in Hamilton college. { Senator Root has strong personal Vice-President Sherman is one of the men who holds | Root’s strong liking. The senntor ll ‘a member of the college fraternity known as the Sigma Phi. It is a small E college brotherhood, the oldest, bar | ring perhaps the Kappa Alpha, of all | the Greek letter societies. There are 8| not many sigs, and those that there i are hang together better than do some brothers. Vice-President James 8. Sherman is a Sigma Phi and a grad- uate of Hamilton college, the alma ma- ter of Elilhu Root. Senator Root is a strong partisan of President Taft and hopes to see him renominated. Former Secretary of the Treasury, Leslie M. Shaw, has come out for The- odore Roosevelt, his former chief. { Mr, Shaw was the great story teller | of the Roosevelt cabinet. It ls said that the colonel once declared that Shaw was the author of the Arabian Nights, for he had heard him tell one | thousand and one stories. Mr. Shaw's ! storles are not of state, but of hu- | man interest. Shaw Sold Apple Trees. Mr. Shaw was Yankee born. went west to grow up with the coun try as the time-tried saying has it. { He wished to study law, ahd in order { to get the money to do studying, he . sold apple trees. They were good ap- ‘ple trees. The farmers of the west, &s another has put it, “in the long win. | ter evenings found their mouths wa- \ tering for the succulent apples of i the old eastern homestead. It must’ be remembered that most of these { early day farmers in Iowa were ! Yankees. Shaw resolved that apples . were his long suit and he set out’ | scores of the great orchards of Iowa. He dealt fairly and in ‘delivering the goods’ he made friends and became known throughout the region.” For five years Leslie M. Shaw was a member of the cabinet. Every Tues- day and Friday he would walk from the door of the treasury through the White House grounds to the door of the cabinet room. Invariably he had with him a little black portfolio “snuggled” under his arm. It still re- mains one of the mysteries of Wash- Ington what -that portfolio contained. No other cabinet officer ever carried one. It was suggested time and again that the package held ntorles but as Leslle M. Shaw never “sprung man- uscript” when telling a yarn it seems that this explanation of the contents of the mysterious black portfolio is Incorrect. : I | | | | | ! i ) i - THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER THURSDAY, MARCH 14, 1912.
