WASHINGT ON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.

/" That the utmost vacillation

shown by the President in

I,opiDinn OF all who have close

Roosevelt has abqndOned the

cause. For a considera ble

ed Senator Pritchard to be-
lieve that he would have the
assistance of the federal ad,
ministration in his project.
Senator Pritchard explained
most forcibly to the Presi-
dent that tie only hope of
building up a successful re-
publican party in the south
must he based on the elimina
ton of the negro and showed
him that 30 long as republi.

holders the better element Ol
the south would vote demo.
cratic regardless Of t h e i +
convictions on national is-
sues. N wv, Mr.. Roosevelt has
abandoned the Senator and
returned 10 his old customs.
That he has done go is be-
lieved to anger that he ex-
poets to favor the restriction
OF southern representa- tion
in Congress and that he be-
lieves he must take the step
in order to solidifv the south
ern delegations to the next

sion of his political friends.
There are pu merous indira

there is a grave element of

that the result may mean a
panic, which, if it were to
come shortly before election

mean republican defeat. And
doubtless Mr.. Roosevelt will
urge the enactment OF n law
