 TO WIN IN 1904.

 Him Support.

Washington Special to Chicago Chronicle.
 President Roosevelt Is looking sharply after his political fences in anticipation of the national campaign of 19I4. He mas already entered into important political alliances that will yield him several State delegations to the next nauona convention. By turning down Senator Burton's candidate for District Attorney of Kansas the President won the SUD- port of the most powerful and influential Republican faction of that State. Later in refusing to accept candidates present. ed to him by Internal Revenue Commls- sioner Yerkes and Senator Deboe to suc- ceed the Kentucky Collector of Internal Revenue who was removed under charges he created a new dominant machine with Representative Vincent Borelng as ts leader. Boreing will be for Roosevelt In 1904.
 The President Is charged by influential leaders of his own party with endeavor. ing to secure for himself the support Of Missouris Republican organization through National Committeeman Richard Kerens. By deciding the conflict between Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock and Kerens over the distribution of Missouri patronage in favo" of the Committeeman, as it is conceded he will decide, the Pres ident will win MT. Kerens friendship and support. A story has been current for several days that there Is a distinct understanding between the President and MT. Kerens on this score. Secretary Hitchcock's friends believe 1t to be true and are anticip lting MT. Hitchcock S withdrawal from the cabinet within the next thirty days as a consequence.
 Wins Quay, But Loses Stone.
 The recent rebellion of Governor Stone of Pennsylvania, against the domination of Senator Quay is believed to be the re- suit of Senator Quays implied promise to support the President for second term in 1904.
 Stone expected to be a candidate for President and believed he would receive Quay's support. He learned through friends in Washington that there was President soon after Quay's visit to the White House last Wednesday. Immedi- ately he proceeded to smash Quays ripper" organization in Pittsburg. He he removed the ripper" recorder of Pittsburg. That recorders appointment was practically the price of Quay's re- election to the Senate.
 Governor Stones friends-say frankly that in cutting loose from Quay and the Pennsylvania machine the Governor is getting in line for the next national campaign, believing that President Roosevelt meantime will have so com pletely disorganized his party that a second presidential term for him will be out of the question.
 Relies on odell for New York.
 The President has created practically a new deal In New York by ignoring Platt and taking up Governor Odell and Mayor r-elect Low. He Is perfectly contl- dent that he will receive the support of New York in spite of Platt.
 Roosevelt has revolutioniZed the polit ical machines of the Southern States, de- stroying Hanna's Mckinley organiza- midable and putting men of his own se- lection in command by making them dis tributers of Federal patronage. He de- posed Hawley, the National Committee Np Tn kR.rN ,n1 I.Drnr, h old line Republicans of North and South Carolina and installed Democrats with Republican leanings in their places, He Is prepared to deal in the same manner with other Republican organizations of the South.
 Mixes in Illinois Politics.
 Even in Illinois the President has talk en a strong stand in favor of the exist ing machine by commanding the Federal otlceholderS to cease their political ac- tivities in favor Of anti.machine candi- dates for Senator. That is the reason, in the opinion of politicians here, why the Republican newspapers of Chicago have united In fierce attacks upon Represent tative Hopkins and former Representa- tive Lorimer. who were directly respon- sible for persuading the President to take a hand in the Illinois fight.
 From the very outset of his career as President Colonel Roosevelt has played politics assiduously and without intermis- sion. He seems to appreciate that he must rid himself of the menace of the old Mckinley machine controlled by Hanna and certain clement in the National Committee. He has not hesitate6 to use forceful means wherever he has deemed them advisable and though his enemies have been multiplying as d consequence he has made hundreds of friends.
 Treats Senators with Cordiality.
 Tn one respect the President has been extremely polite. and that is in his treat ment of United States S. Stnators. He has been careful to avoid even an appearance of antaFonizing most Republican Sena- tors. Some of them he has treated with contempt, evidently believing that they could do him no harm. But for the most part the Senators have received cordial and kindly treatment
 MT. Roosevelt evidently is desirous of avoiding the Senatorial pitfall which has been fatal to so many Presidents, but he is inviting conflict from politicians outside of the Senate whom he has req son to believe are unfriendly.
