out the fact that all churches
which have shown n militant
spirit have been faithful ones. DR.

parture OF Senator Root to Washing
ton to inform President Taft OF the
result of his conferences with State
Chairman Woodruff and the local Re-
publican leaders on the question of
Woodruf1's retirement from the chair
manship. looms a political situation
which, In its larger meaning, bears d.
rectly not only on the coming state
campaign next fall, but on the ma
tional campaign in 1912.
The administration, through Sena-
tor Root. has made il clear TO the
party leaders in this state that New
York must not be lost to the Demo
Gratis in the gubernatorlal election. for
such defeat would endanger the par
tvs success two years later.
To this end Senator Root Informed
Chairman Woodruff that the opposi-
ton to Governor Hughes and his
measures must cease. and the sugGes-
tlon Is said to have been directly
made that the federal power would be
used to thwart such opposition If 1t
