WASHINGTON Cry, Nov. IL. 'Ol


to indeclsion has been shown by Il
ed President in handling the "li
We white movement in the south
the opinion Of all who have close
r. observed his actions in that come
I'd ton. Apparently Mr.. R,oseye
e has abandoned the enterprise
ut hopeless and is now prepared to re
rs turn 10 the old custom OF maintain
le ing southern organization, with i,
}, concomitants Of colored repu blics
10 oiiiceholders, etc. He has remove
Ie two federal ofliceholders in Alabam
J. Tor their activity in eliminating th
is negro from the party councils. an,
is now 1t Is reported that be has re
! moved District Attorney Warren S
!. keese Tor the same cause. For 4
e considerable time the President en-
: couraged Senator Jeter c. Pritchard
. to believe that he would have the
assistance of the federal adminis,ra.
tion In bis project. Senator pr,tcb.
ard explained most forceably to the
President that the only hope Of
building up successful republican
; party in the south must be based on
the elimination of the negro, and
showed him that so long as repub-
ilcanIsm stood for negro ofIicehold-
ers, the better element of the south
would"vote democratic, /" regardless
OF their convictions on national is
sues. Now, Mr.. Roosevelt has
abandoned the Senator and has re-.
turned to the old custom.
That hehas done SO is believed 10
augur that be expects to favor the
restriction OF southern representa-
ton IN Congress. and that he be.
iieves ne must take the step in or
der to solidify the southern delegs.
tons TO the next national conyen-
ton. Soon after the conven;ng Of
Congress, it is said, Representa- YES
DICK, Crumpacker and Dayton will
be called in conference with the
PRESIDENT and several members Of {
The Cabinet to consider the subject
oi restricting southern representa- q
lion, and it is for that reason that's
Mr.. Roosevelt has determined toIr
revert to the old negro office holder
policy Of his predecessors. z
The Presidents recent statement o
made before the New York Cham. d
'er OF Commerce, that 1.-The grow. /

ne intrusion Of the state into spheres X
work wherein it formerly took no "a
art, has attracted the marked at. A
'ntIon OF the Democrats and some
'epublicans, who see in the words a
reelection of at least some measure
state socialism. "Where willwi
'e President draw the line?" ask Fl
'ese gentlemen, who evidently ed
INK the President is treading on pl
,licate ground. "Mr. Roosevelt to
ys there Is an inevitable tendency WI
that direction, but if he permits be

roy where can he stop it?" "Is en-

There are numerous indications Ih'
