This city could not well, at that time, unless the the office of prosecuting attorney was fmpregnated with that virtue through and through. After the things that had happened, to the great detriment of New Britain’s reputation, honesty, seemed priceless in the office to which come all the modern problems, in their local aspect, brought by the Voi- | #tead act and its ramifications. To that office of Prosecuting Attorney Joe ‘Woods brought this thing that money | can not buy—honesty. It is well to forget the evil things said about any man.

Col Roosevelt had declared pubiicly that he would not accept the Republican nomination for vice-president. The whole country had heard that declara- tion, and the whole country beileved in Roosevelt as & man who meant| what he said. In this secret meeting of the New York delegation the sug- gestion was made, at the instigation of Tom Platt. that Roosevelt be nomin- | ated by that delegation for the vice- presidency.

He desired the he looked | without disfavor upon being given the | nomination, and yet his innate love of | sticking by his word prevented his en- | thusiasm from being roused by the | proposal that own delegation nominate him. Roosevelt was waver- ing; he was at that point where hesi- | tation may mean destruction: A tall man, usually most dignified, | always able to carry his point by presentation of logical reasoning with- out physical demonstration, but who! knew Roosevelt's love of action, walk- ' ed across the floor straight to a point | in front of the Colonel. He, this tall, | dignified man and ardent admirer of | Theodore Roosevelt, shook his finger in the face of the great man and said | slowly, emphatically: P ; “If T wanted to kill you politically 1 would urge this, your own delega-| tion, to present your name as the Re- | publican candidate for vice-president.
