WAY CLEAR FOR ROOT.
Woodruff Sees Taft and Withdraws
From Senatorial Race.

Hot Springs. Va, Nov. 30.-Timothy
l. Woodruff, chairman of the New
York Republican state committee, has
eliminated himself from the senatorial
race in favor of Secretary Root. This
action was taken after a protracted
conference with President-eIect Taft
and was followed by statements from
both Messrs. Taft and Woodruff. Aside
from these statements each of which
comedies the election of Mr.. Root to
succeed Senator Plat on January 10
next no details of the conference were
made known. Mr.. Taft said:
Il can only say that I am very much
pleased at the attitude that Governor
Woodruff has taken. He has been
moved by an earnest desire to promot
party harmony and has established his
claim to the gratitude of the Repub-
ncans of New York and also of the
country at large for making it as GER
tain as possible that such a statesman
as Mr.. Root will be chosen to represent
the state of New York in the senate.
am personally very much pleased now
that have had to give up my purpose
to continue Mr.. Root in the cabinet
that 1 shall have the support and as
sistance which he will render to the ad-
ministration with his great ability and
his knowledge of governmental affairs.
am sure from what 1 know that the
action of Mr.. woodruff and the election
of Mr.. Root will be conducive to great
harmony in New York and will
strengthen the party
Mr.. Woodruff's statement follows:
Il have refrained from all public dis
cusSion of the United States senator
ship and have made no statement as to
what my course concerning it would be
both because of the views 1 hold that
the power of the state committee
should not be used to further the can
didacy of any one person against an
other and also because have been
waiting the disposition of all matters
left over from the congressional COM
rnittee including the preparation and
fling of our financial statement before
giving this matter any consideration.
As soon as this work was cleared UP I
came to Hot Springs at the request of
the president-elect. I have learned
from him that as it is now definitely
determined that he cannot retain
Roots service in the cabinet he is very
DESTROYS but without interfering in the
matter, that his administration shall
have the benefit in the senate of the
exceptionally. valuable assistance which
Mr.. Root can render by reason of his
intimate knowledge of all the impor-
tant matters with which the govern
ment has been concerned both at home
and abroad during the Mckinley and
Roosevelt administrations All will
doubtless agree with me that every
right minded supporter and well wisher
of Judge Taft should subordinate any
personal ambition to whatever may
seem to be essential to the complete
success of the new administration
furthermore. the unanimous support
of Secretary Root by the state organi-
zation would unquestionably insure
harmonious party action by the state
officers and the federal authorities and
an impartial consideration of the
claims of all of the local organizations
in the state unbiased by such factional
