WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-It is the
opinion in Washington that as a re-
suit of a long conference at the White
House today between President Roose-
welt, James Wadsworth Jr.. speaker of
the New York state assembly, and Will
liam l.. Ward, republican national COM
mitteeman, the man who will be sup
ported by them next January to sue
as United States senator will be Elihu
Root of Clinton, n. Y, the present sec
retary of state.
Neither Ward nor Speaker Wads-
worth would discuss the matter, but 1t
is known that the secretary is not
averse to accepting the candidacy. pro-
viding he is assured there is no OppoSi-
tion to him.
President Roosevelt personally ia
vors Secretary Root, but Speaker
Wadsworth said today he had received
assurances from the president that he
would not interfere In the selection of
the next senator. When Secretary Loeb
was asked whether the president had
given this assurance he declared that
there was no use for the president TO
interfere, leaving the inference that
the matter already had been settled
Secretary Root declared he had made
no announcement that he would be a
candidate and that he could not discuss
the matter. He had just come from the
presidents office. Root said that he
had written several letters on the sub
ject of the senatorship, but in none of
them had he said he would be a candi-

THE decision of the supreme court
in the hatters' case involves every
wage worker of our country. No more
unjust decision has ever been issued
by a court. The Dred Scott decision
did not approach it in scope.
ATTACKS SPEAKER CANNON
Speaker Cannon has packed commit
tees not only against labor, but against
any other real reform legislation. Con-
gress adjourned with the defiant decla-
James S. Sherman. that the republican
party is responsible for legislation or
for the failure of legislation, and that
he and his party were willing to as
sumo the responsibility.
1.-THE report of our legislative COM
mittee reveals a tale of perfidy to the
common veal, and in telling the truth
perforce besmirches the name and his
tory OF political party that found
its embodiment and idealism in the
martyred Lincoln.
The republican party adopted decla-
rations for the enactment of a law
that would legalize the worst abuses
and perversion of the injunction writ"
Gompers made a detailed report of
his work in the political field during
the last convention of both political
parties and also of his experience with
congress.
The American labor movement, he
said. is not partisan to political par
ty. it is partisan to principle, the prin-
ciple of equal rights and human free
dom.
Our conventions have frequently de-
clared," said Gompers, that our move
ment has neither the right nor the de-
sire to dictate how a member shall cast
his vote"
Gompers' defense of his action dur
ing the late political campaign was
greeted with cheers.

TAFT TO PROlONG
VACATION OUTING
President Elect Prepares for
Strenuous Duties by Riding
and Playing Golf
Will Spend Entire Winter in
Georgia City With His
Family

HOT SPRINGS, Va, Nov 9-The
stay of President Elect Taft at the Vir-
ginia hot springs will be prolonged
until the first week of December, if the
ordinary season of mild weather here
prevails. 1t is Tafts determination to
fit himself by riding and golf for the
strenuous duties which await him in
March.
He has accepted the request of Miss
Boardman of Washington, president of
the National Red Cross, to attend the
annual meeting of the society in Wash
ington, December 8. He expects to re-
main here until then. Although his
plans have not been determined it is
his intention to go then to Augusta,
Ga, to take cottage and remain dur
ing the winter. The Taft family ply
sician in Cincinnati has recommended
the Georgia city as the ideal place for
outdoor exercise during the winter.
The air is said to have enough of the
sting of cold to thicken the blood and
TO be mild enough to make it pleasant
in the open.
There will be general post election
conference tomorrow between Judge
Taft and National Chairman Hitchcock.
who has given notification that he will
be here. Hitchcock has been frequent
ly mentioned as the probable post
master general in the Taft cabinet. and
while Taft has so far deferred taking
up matters of state since the election
it is not unlikely that an understand
ing will be reached between the chair
man and his chief.
The long drought and continued
forest fires in the mountains adjacent
to the Homestead hotel made it ex-
pedient today to start back fires in the
hills surrounding the hotel The result
has produced a pail of smoke over the
place.
The weather is mild and pleasant,
and Judge Taft today played his morn
ing game of golf with Governor Elect
Draper of Massachusetts and went rid
ing on his favorite saddle horse this
afternoon.

on the Buck stove and range company
Injunction case was frequently inter
rupted by applause. The statement OF
the stand taken by John Mitchell, Frank
Morrison and Samuel Gompers on the
injunction matter was also applauded
SPEECH OF GOMPERs
Gompers said in part:
1T is impossible to see how we can
comply fully with the courts injunc-
tion. Shall we be denied the right OF
free speech and free press, simply be-
cause we are workmen?
Now it is the American federation
of labor and the American Federationist
which are enjoined from the exercise
of the right of free speech and the
liberty Of the press. In the future il
may be another publication, and this
Injunction will then be quoted as a
sacred precedent for future and further
encroachments upon the right of our
people.
The suppression of freedom of the
press is a most serious undertaking
whether in autocratic Russia or in the
republic of the United States. It is
