AIooFNEss OF NATIONAL REPUBLICANS.

ALOOFNEsS OF NATIONAL REPUBLICANS.
Following the example OF Senator Fairbanks,
Secretary Shaw said nothing at all about the so
called Republican candidate for Governor. A num-
ber of people gathered at Festival Hall Saturday
night to hear the distinguished Iowa member of Mr..
Roosevefs Cabinet and, having in mind the pointed
omission Of Senator Fairbanks to mention the Wal
bridge candidacy, the crowd waited anxiousy for a
word of encouragement from the Secretary But it
was not forthcoming.
Some mention Of Mr. WalbFidge. however slight
cursory, weuId have been equivalent to official
sanction the sanction Of the national party the sane
tion Of Mr.. Roosevelt himself. The fact Of Mr..
shaw's glarfng omission served to emphasize the
Significance Of the Administrations and the national
party's attitude toward the people who are fighting
Mr. Folk.
Senator Fairbanks and Secretary Shaw have by
their negative aronts conciusiveIy shown the aoof
ness Of the Republican party as to the waIbridge
publican remarked, The Roosevelt people afraid
to have anything to do with this Missouri busi-
ness"
soun Republicans to make no nomination against
Folk becomes the clearer a the campaign develops
and the penalty for violating his wishes is made
plain by the conspicuous sights put upon the 'un-
holy alliance by the national speakers and especial
1y By Secretary Shaw, who Is In q sense the per-
sonal representative Of the President.
To say nothing At all Of the Walbridge cardi-
dacy is to go as far politics and propriety will
permit in discountenancing h-but it is perhaps the
most telling and effective method Of visiting the dis
pleasure Of the national party upon the local hybrid
aggregation which has assumed the habmenrs of
Repubicanism.
