MACHINE SCHEME
TO CHECK ROOSEVELT
RITY ABRIDGED
Law Intended to Annoy u Demo
cratic Governor Available If the
Colonel Becomes ..igfy."

Albany. Dec. During the recent po-
litical campaign in this State the grave
fears of defeat that permeated the breasts
of Republican leaders caused numerous
conferences as to what they would do
should their candidate be beaten to pre-
vent the Democratic party from the ex-
ercise of their properly attained powers
After many consultations it was agreed
that they would fall back upon an amend
ment to the public officers act passed by
the Platt legislature in Marcn last and
intended at that time 10 bc operative II
a Democrat should he elected TO succeed
Gov. Black.
The part Of the public acts iaw amend
ed was thar which gave Ia the governor
the right Ia make appointments during n .
! recess where the term of the Incumbent
expired by limitation. This power, ny
the amendment was taken AWAY from the
governor. and he can moss appoint only
to fill a vacancy caused hy death or resis-
nation by and with the consent Of the
senate Consequently in the event OF the
senates failure to confirm nominations
Of the governor the present incumbent VIII
hold over.
As the c,cetion turned Out the Platt
leaders are glad Of thell foresight They
i-ara not at all certain about the loyalty
to machine interests Of Govcrnor-eiect
Roosevelt. II he tries any rough riding
that does not NEE, with the approval of
the bosses I'm the matter OF appointments
the epublcaH-IiDbcd senate can hold up
lis selections. and failing 1" secure the
selection Of desirable machine men. can
at least prevent Inc removal az the men
now in ofFice.
It has become vecs evident that even
at this early day there are many sore
heads in the Piaut party. made 50 by the
actual Suubs some of the members have
already received from the govcrnor-elect.
| They find that he is much more indie
pendent chan he was on the day when
he visited Mr.. PIatt aui substantially So
licted the nomination for governor
Now. if Col. Roosevelt is disposed to be
recalcitraRt, the machine will uDdoubted-
ly spring upon him the scheme they had
prepared to check a Democratic gov
ernOr.
There is a pretty quarrel in prospect.

1t would be well for the patriotic Ameri-
can legislator to bear in mind the express
sions of d prominent Spaniard. Senior Ju-
arabia. president of finance delegation
now in London. He says the bulk of the
trade of the Philippines is in the hands Of
the English. 'Spaniards almost unani-
mously feel that Americas success is
greatly due to England's sympathy, and
any loss which the English trade may
suffer by the transfer of the Philippines
is looked upon a just retribution." No
American who cares for the good name
of his country will consent that friend
in need should suffer as a consequence,
even that We may gain some advantage
in commerce. That England's sympathy
was of practical benefit to this country
is beyond "A doubt and the fact should

CiovevRor-elect Roosevelt has already m
yolved himself in a whirlwind of protes-
tation and advice by the announcement
that he win retain Judge Daily on the
Supreme Court bench This comes of TAX
ing the Republicans and the bar associa-
tion seriously in the campaign. When
Croker refused 10 allow the Democrats
to rCnominate Judge Daily, the Republic
ans suddenly discovered that his retire
ment would be grave loss. The Bar As
sociation adopted resolutions expressing
its Indignation. which induced the Repub-
licans 10 place him on their ticket A
good many of them, however. knew that
the Indignation was for campaign effect
and they voted against him and he was
defeated. Now that Judge OBrien is to
resign, Col. Roosevelt is determined to be
consistent enough to appoint Judge Daily
to fill he-Nacancy. The entire Republican
machine supports Judge Cohen, and even
some of the lawyers who We're active In
having the resolutions adopted are against
DAILY. While admitting that the latter
was source Of strength to the Repub
licans. they are unwilling one office should
escape the organization men.

the Case Is Called IN Court
Next Monday

Philadelphia, Dec. 7.-Senator Quay
came to Philadelphia yesterday and con-
ferred with his attorneys relative to his
trial for conspiracy to use State money,
which is set for next Monday.
District Attorney Graham is confident
that there will be no further delay. He
does not believe Senator Quay will take
advantage of any seeming right prevent
ing him from being summoned while Con-

There is much speculation as 10 what
judge will sit in the case. Judge Wiltbank
is most talked of.
The defense is as busily engaged as the
prosecution. Senator Quay's attorneys say
they will be ready to go on with the
trial as soon as the case is called.
