ROOSEVELT is SHAMELESS.
New York sun (Republican Roasts
Great Autocrat to Turn.

New York, October S.-The Sun
(Rep.), in singing editorial today
headed Timely Notification from the
Honorable. Nicholas. Longworth.
says:
The result of the coming election
will depend largely upon the vote of
the anti-Roosevelt republicans, TN
til Mr.. Rooseyelt's recent injudicious
intrusion of his personality into the
present canvass, this formidable ele-
ment of the republican party re-
manned loyal to its candidates.
Now come Mr.. Nicholas Long
worth, son-in-law of the great auto
crat, and In a speech delivered at
Rock Island. ILL.,, announces to his
couutrymen that after Mr.. Taft shall
have had eight years 10 'clinch my
policies'-'clinch Is Mr.. Taft's term
Mr.. Roosevelt viii return. like Ma
polean from Elba or like Charles II
after Cromwell. and the full restora-
tion of the Roosevelt regime viii take
place
"A more unfortunate statement
has not yet been made in this canvass
and II IL attracts the general atten-
ton which Il deserves Il Is not I'M
likely 10 make Mr.. Longworth the
Burchard of the campaign. Il IS
well known that NJ. Roosevelt In
graciously permitting the American
people 20 select his successor-pro-
viding always that Il was Mr.. Taft or
himseif-had said 10 intimate friends
that while he could no longer serve
his faithful people for the next four
years. and would change his work
OF multiplying bears into the destruc-
ton OF lions. yet at the end OF four
years his faithful people could reas-
onably expect his triumphant re-entry
into the scene OF his former achieve
nents. II Is apparent from Mr.. Long
worth's statment that this expecta-
ton is enjoyed. not only By the inner
circle OF Sir. Rooseyeits friends. but
also By his Immediate family. aud IL
Is unreasonable 10 suppose that SIR.
Longworth would have nominated
his august father-in-law for re-elec-
ton eight years hence II he believed
that such suggestion was other than
agreeable 10 SIR. Roosevelt.
The American people are not dis
posed 10 turn their most exalted Of
fee into a merry-go-raund IN which
presidents shall mutually help each
other 70 rotate IN Office. NotWith-
standing ar. Taft's exceptionally
useful record as a public servant and
his captivating qualities as a man,
the American people have looked
askauce az the manner In which hts
nomination was secured. To them Il
was an unweicome spectacle that a
president. b. the most open. fragrant
and shameiess use OF Federal patron
age and executive power. should force
the nomination OF his successor. and
they certainly viii not welcome a sug-
gestion which would seem TO Imply
that Mr. Taft AZ the end OF four or
eight years shall use his influence as
president 20 have his predecessor sue
coed him. The best service that Mr.
Taft can do himself. hts party and his
country Is 20 assert speedily. and in
no unmeaning phrase. that the re-
publican party has chosen him aa It's
leader and that he will not merely
follow.
In the meantime. and for the good
OF the cause. We respectfully suggest
to the great politician, that he speedi-
Is withdraw his oyerzeaious son-in-
law from the stump"
