ed regular" at every opportunity, and
who. therefore figured that the President

Curtis's panic was caused by the recent
announcement from Beverly, following on
the heels of so many insurgent Republican
victories in primary elections that hence
forth the President would bow down TO the
wishes Of insurgent Senator's in insurgept
states This included Kansas. and Mr..
Taft promptly appointed Senator Bristow's

Oyster Bay, Sept 25.-Ex-President

tariff propaganda
The question of an Endorsement of Pres
ident Taft for denomination in 1912 IS ex-
pected TO resolve itself compatibly with
the Presidents expressed desire that no
such Endorsement should be made so far
IN ADVANCE Of the next Presidential cleo
ton- The Progressive leaders who are
closest TO the President have said that
such were his wishes.
1t is expected that when the subject is
approached in the convention some one
VIII rise to the occasion with an author
ized statement to that effect and that the
suggestion VIII be ultimately adopted by
the majority OF the delegates.
Roosevelt Spends Day Quietly
There were no visitors at Sycamore Hill
to-day. Mr.. Roosevelt attended church in
the village with his family in the forenoon
ana spent the remainder Of the day quietly
at his home. He had little to say in re-
gard to the Republican state situation. ex-
cept that he was going 10 get into camp
at Saratoga and meet the Progressive lead
ers from ell poins OF the state who have
preceded him there. The final plans for the
reinforcement OF the Progressive ranks
from wavering delegates and the ultimate
mode Of attack upon the ''oId guard
bosses would then be determined In short
order
He was anxious 20 get into the thick Of
the fray, he said. Not that a compre-
hensive line of aggression has not already
been agreed upon among the Progressives

things, the control of the state committee
and OF the committee on resolutions so as
TO incorporate into the party platform all
the Progressive policies in some form or
other, but Il will be the first duty 10 de-
termine in general conferences after Mr..
Roosevelt's arrival iust what the senti-
ment is in all parts of the state. particu-
larly in regard to the formation of the
various planks of the platform.
The matter of the temporary chairman
ship is looked upon as a foregone concIu-
sion by Mr.. Roosevelt and the other lead
ers. and IL causing none of them any
anxiety. now that the convention is almost
here The choice of candidate will take
care Of itself after the upstate men are
heard on the subject it is said. IT is the
desire Of the ex-President and most of the
other leaders TO slate an upstate man. II
one can be found strong enough.
Mr.. Roosevelt received several MESA ges
to-day from the leaders who are already
at Saratoga They appeared to increase his
confidence in the results anticipated. He
declined to comment on anything the mes
sages contained. He will leave here early
tomorrow morning and take the 30 train
from the Grand Central Station at New
York for Saratoga.

Proposed Compromise Plan.

ruent of direct primary Legislation which

afford temporary satisfaction
Such legislation would have this adver-

the use Of direct primaries would then lie
entirely with the Legislature.
