There ain’t anything I wouldn’t do to help you. Now, if you get a strange hold on him some time and don’t dare let go for fear he'll ditch you, you send me a hurry up call and I'll be tickled to come around and hang on to him while you run and get the preacher.” Miss Peterson rose so suddenly that her chair fell over with a crash. “Look here, Nell Connelly,” she said, furiously, “some day you'll find you're altogether too smart. I want you to understand that I don't pick fights with nobody, because that ain’t my nature, but when I do scrap I scrap to a finish. It's about time for you to quit this funny business. I suppose you think you make a terrible hit with your smart remarks, but I could tell you some different! - “Anyway, when I get as old as some folks maybe I'll have to call in some Dody to help me land a fellow. When I get as old as some folks I hope I'll know enough to mind my own busi- ness.” ‘With this luminous speech Mise Pe Secretaries Meyer and Stimson, "| Roosevelt believed, and, probably, Postmaster General Hitchcock, would desert Taft. Senator Lodge, accord-‘ ing to the information then received, planned to lead the Roosevelt move- ment in New England. Senators’ La Follette and Cummins were expected to retire and give Roosevelt the un- disputed support of the progressive wing of the party. Spoiled by Columbus Speech, Meyer, Stimson and Lodge, and perhaps Hitchcock, too, would have followed the course indicated had it not been for the Columbus speech. They had no idea Roosevelt would adopt doctrines more extreme even than those of the then ultraextremist, Mr. La Follette. The Columbus speech drove all the influential lead- ers of the Repubtican regular organi- zations into giving Taft genuine shoulder-to-shoulder support. The business element of the Repub- licanism developed a sudden enthusi-. asm for Taft.
