Antidote in Belts.

As All antidote, if one was necessary, to
this direct primary enthusiasm Mr. Roosa-
Welt had Charles II. Belts, Republican state
committeeman from the 3fst District. Belts
is one of the most rahid opponents OF the
direct nominations system, and Is credited
with having caused Assembly man Green
wood to vote against all direct nonlnauops
bills, though many of Greenwood $ con-
stituents said he was pledged in writing
to support Governor Hughes on that ISSUE
Belts despite his views on that subject
considers himself a Roosevelt man. Be
fore the lion hunter returned fom Africa
Belts printed pieces in his paper, haitng
Roosevelt as the state leader of his party,
and the best candidate for Governor.
Belts yesterday said he considered Mr..
Roosevelt a great harnonizer, and as such
especially valuable to the Republican party
Just now. He thought the eX-President a
good man, the best, in fact for temporary
chairman of the state convention.
p. II. Morrissey, the labor man who vas
head of the railway. tranmen's organiza-
ton, saw Mr.. Roosevtlt for a few minutes
He talked with him about the ex-Presi-
dents coming visit TO Illinois. Evelyn r..
Baldwin. the explorer: W. r. Meredith, w.
H. Wilder and E. J. Parsons, of Alabama.
were other callers. Mr. Roosevelt had
luncheon with Truman II. Newberry, for
merly Assistant Secretary Of the Navy.
Theirs was a social talk.
Mr.. Roosevelt refused to say one word
about the charges that Vice-President
Sherman was interested III the Indian con-
tracts, legislation concerning which was
before Congress. Neither would he say a
word about the insurgent victories in Kan
sas and Iowa.

OPPOSITION TO DAVENPORT
Ignored Big Boss and Too Help

by Telegraph to The Tribune

Utica, n. Y, Aug. 5.-Senator Frederick
NJ. Davenport declared to-day that his can
vass for denomination for the state Sehaee
was not favored by Vfee-President Sher-
nan for two reasons: First. that he was
too helpful to Governor Hughes at Al
bany, and, second, that he does not take
orders from the big boss
Senator Davenport was in Utica to-day,
and when asked regarding the opposition
of the so-called Republican organization
gave out this statement:
L am not unmindfuI of the value of or
ganization in politics. I have made every
effort to ascertain the attitude of the or

deal of encouragement, but in others TINS

which 1 very much appreciate, and Wnicn
leaves nothing to be desired, has made II
clear that he was not for me, and he mas
said that l should not be renominated.

said that President Taft sent for Vice
President Sherman and myself in order TO

Of MI Sherman and myself the President
decided that he would not open the rolls.
nor would he further consider the matter of
placing his approval on the contract with
the lawyers McMurray and Long, for the
