T was matter for gratification to Colonel Roosevelt when the direction of
his campaign for the presidential nomination was Intrusted to Senator
Joseph M Dixon o f Montana. He was the ex-president's choice for this
highly important post, but it bad been rumored that sickness in his fam­
ily would make It impossible for him to assume the duties of a pre-convention
manager A warm friendship existed between the colonel and Mr. Dixon lie-
fore the latter was elected to the senate. The senator is a North Carolinian by
birth, but removed to Montana when a very young man and went into politics
almost Immediately. He has been there ever since and has a reputation for
getting pretty nearly any office be wants He is said to be the most popular
man In public life in bis state. His friends attribute his uniform success to

E-2 are the first so equipped, the masts, which are about thirty feet
high, being for wireless use. The two new boats are also the first of
their kind to use the crude oil burning engines, which are expected to
save money for the navy department, since they burn oil costing 3 cents a
gallon Instead of the gasoline used In other submarine engines, which costs
10 or 11 cents a gallon. The boats, which are shown as they appeared at the
New York navy yard Just before they started for Norfolk, are 135 feet long
and are equipped with four torpedo tubes each. There is little room Inside
them for anything but the machinery and the 5.000 gallons of oil which they
carry
Each has a crew of eighteen men and a mascot. On ordinary voyages
submarines have tenders on which the members of the crew sleep, but the
New York-Norfolk trip was made without these. When the boats are sailing
