"I go to that convention to make the speech exactly as it had been planned originally, and. while I hope there will be enough good sense to prevent anyone opposing the principles for which I shall stand, yet. If they do oppose them, then it is their own affair and, so far as I am concerned, the issue shall be absolutely clean cut." Fidelity of Machine Doubted.

The Colonel has told his friends that he did not feel sure the Roosevelt-Hughes forces would receive unqualified support from the organization at the polls. Colonel Roosevelt's indorsement of State Senator Frederick Davenport yes terday was the flret step in the fighf which he expects to carry on from now until election time.
