THE PLOT AGAINST ROOSEVELT.

Though Governor Roosevelt IS quoted as hav-
ing said yesterday morning that Mr. Platt's
word was as good his bond, he must have
some doubts about ii when he sees Mr. Platt
low openly fighting TO force the -Presiden-
tai nomination upon him. Mr. Platt made re-
peated and public pledges that he would respect
the Governors wish. but he has evidently been
pursuing a consistent course Of deliberately
planned treachery and the Governor must be-
gin TO understand what others long ago discov-
cred, that not only Mr.. Platt's word but Mr.
Platts bond in politics is good for nothing. and
that he does indeed deliberately act so as TO
make 1t impossible for self-respecting men to
be allied with him even for a good purpose
in pursuance Of what he has believed a good
purpose Governor Roosevelt has for two wears
been in alliance with Mr.. Platt coming down
from Albany every few days TO consult with
him and doing in general what Mr. Plat wanted
done. This course he has frankly taken and
frankly defended in the face of friends who did
not like such alliance for practical purposes, no
matter how good. In return he certainly had
right TO expect good faith on the part Of Mr.
Platt and his organization. Instead he finds
trickery fair promises and underhanded deal
ings to make him a candidate in spite of pledges
not 10 do so. and finally open attempts to put
him into false position before the country and
ruin his political future. It is merely another
exhibition Of Mr.. Platts usual treatment of
self-Tespecting men who trust themselves in al
lance with him.
We have sometimes had occasion to criticise
particular acts of Mr.. Roosevelt as Governor

ter and honorable purposes could get a long

ceeds in persuadng the National Convention to
pass him by without forcing him to absolute
refusal His proper reply is to dare MI Flatt 10
make even a declination after stampede an
excuse for throwing him aside. EVERYBODY
would know that such an excuse was merely a
politicians suhterfuge. Governor Roosevelt Is
under 10 obligation TO respond to call which,
Notwithstanding the genuine enthusiasm for
him in many parts Of the country Is evidently
engineered for selfish purposes. Whatever any
body may think of Mr.. Roosevelts strength as
a candidate for reelection certainly after re-
fusing TO renominate him the machine could not
name a man who would be anywhere near as
strong. Popular indignation would be aroused
by the attempt and the voters who might crid-
else particular acts of the Governor would be
first to resent the outrage which would be
involved In carrying out this machine threat to
punish him if it cannot shelve him. With Mr..
PIatt's whole scheme to trick the Governor and
supersede him so clearly understood. there would
be public prejudice against any Platt candldaee
for Governor even If Mr.. Roosevelt was running
for Vice-President, and such a drag on the
National ticket should be considered by the
delegates in estimating the effect Of nominating
the Governor against his will That prejudice
would be tremendously increased If the Gov
ernor was forcibly set aside after declining the
Vice-Presidential nomination. We do not believe
Mr.. Platt dares to stir up that storm. Per
sistent courage in fighting the plot against him

there been no United States troops in the Island
ready for police service IN case Of need Is an
interesting question, for the answer TO which
we have no data
The first result of the election then, is TO give
some assurance of the orderliness of the Cuban
people in such matters. That Is no light thing.
Neither is it a light thing that the outcome or
the polling is acqulesced in by the defeated
candidates and parties We hear Of no riots nor
other attempts violently to reverse the verdict
Of the polls. In connection with that, too, the
question arises of the conservative influence of
the United States troops, but it is not to be
answered save in the opinion of observers on
the spot. The Judgment of General Wood and
his leutenants upon that subject will be awaited
with interest. All that is obvious at this moment
is that with the troops there the Cubans were
orderly, and that at most the troops had no
active work to do, but only passive influence to
exert. That in itself is gratifying contradiction
Of the numerous prophecies 10 the effect that to
control Cuba would be harder than TO pacify n
Donnybrook fair. If the order and peace of
election day were due to American police service
it was the easiest police service ever performed.
The result of the election, so far as candidates
and parties are concerned, is not at all sur
prlsing. The Nationalists have won in Havana
and other cities, and also in many rural dis
tricts. In fact. their success is pretty general
throughout the island, though in the city Of
Santiago the Democrats won there being no
other ticket in the field. The Nationalist party,
it may be explained again, is the military party.
1t includes the soldiers of the last war and
veterans of the Ten Years War and the many
politicians and citizens who naturally gravitate
toward military leaders. It's success was to De
expected. AT the close of a successful war mill
tary men are sure to be popular. Almost every
one of our own wars has put soldier into the
White House. Moreover, that by far the
best organized party, and therefore it did the
most effective campaign work. The Organiza-
ton Of the army and the tactics Of the revolu-
tionary plotting and agitating formed n fine
preparation for political campaigning. The
other parties had no such organization and
experience. It cannot be said that the Nation
alists have a majority of the voters. They seem
to have a plurality among three parties.
Whether their principles will prevail when the
issue is directly drawn upon them is another
question. In this campaign it was not drawn
No national, state or general issue was involved
The Natonalists have by a plurality vote
secured control Of local administrations. That
is all. The really significant test of strength
will come when members Of Constitutional
Convention are chosen 1t is to be hoped that
at that time the peace and order and acquies-
cence of the late election will be repeate
