The discussion aroused by the Harriman correspondence was followed by another that grew out of the report of a well-organized conspiracy, not only to defeat the President's policies in the next Congress, but also to make sure that no man should be nominated in the Republican national convention who would represent a continuance of the views of the present Administration. It was a part of the report that the Standard Oil Company, or gentlemen connected with it, were prepared, in association with other men of large business interests,-to spend an unlimited amount of money in the effort to prevent the nomination of a Roosevelt ticket. It will naturally be remembered that the Standard Oil Company is now under prosecution at the hands of the federal Government, with several thousand counts in the indictments, and that various other railroad and industrial combinations have been or still are under assault at the hands of the Department of Justice, the Interstate Commerce Commission, or the Bureau of Corporations.

It shows Mr. Roosevelt clearing a high fence in very good form. It certainly does not give the impression of a man borne down by overwork and anxiety, and unequal to the pressure of his day's work. With his horseback-riding, his walking and his tennis-playing, Mr. Roosevelt keeps in the best of physical condition, and is able to accomplish an amount of work at his desk every day that few men could equal. The range of his reading is very extensive. He writes on all subjects, and it is within bounds to say that his style in writing grows more terse, precise, and luminous from year to year. With all his numerous occupations, his work is never behindhand. Thus his historical speech at the Jamestown Exposition opening was written well in advance, and his address to be given at Indian
