SoA6lSsS at lHlS SeSSlOn WlJn unlC6u party action back of them and then. as the officials of the committee view 1t, the speakers can go before the country and say, We have carried out the promises of the Republican plat form in large measure, and we pledge ourselves to carry out the rest of. the recommendations before the Sixty first congress adjourns next March"
 Chairman Lloyd, of the Democratic congressional committee. says that the Republicans all through the west, and to some extent through the east are disaffected because President Taft has not carried out In full force and effect what are known as the Roosevelt policies. MT. Lloyd says that the Republicans who are disappointed over what they consider lack of az gressiveness on the part of the pres ent president. are bound to vote for Democratic candidates for congress in order to make their protest against the disinclination of the party to go ahead along progressive lines.
 Look to Roosevelt
 The Republican managers in the coming campaign, as has been printed heretofore, may make an attempt to get Theodore Roosevelt to take the stump in support of his party and of the Taft management of the progress sive policies. It may be that the mighty hunter will return to America and in dorse what MT Taft has done, but even if he does this there are many officials in Washington having some reputation for wisdom, who say that they doubt very much whether MT Roosevelt will consent to go on a speech-making tour, and that he prob ably will content himself with sitting in his study at Oyster Bay or in his editorial room in New York city, there to put out in written form what he thinks about political conditions.
 Chairman Lloyd. of the minority party's campaign committee, says that he Is convinced that the unrest among the people will result in Democratic victory. He refers. of course, to the complaints that have been made about the high cost of liv- ing and the feeling evident in some places that the high prices are trace able to the tariff.
 Republican Faction Troubles.
 The Republicans in New York have been having troubles, and while in a measure they have been settled, occa- sionally messengers from the Empire state Republican camp are still being sent over to Washington to confer with President Taft and with Sena- tors Root and Depew. The feeling of most of the Republicans seems to be that the party in New York will not get into a definite state of peace un. til former President Roosevelt returns
 Apparently great many people ex- pect that as soon as MT. Roosevelt re, turns to this country, he will have something definite to say about the present administration. The Repub- licans who think that President Taft has not done his best to forward the Roosevelt policies. are seemingly con vinced that Mir Roosevelt at once will get out his big stick and use 1t on the administration of the man who during his presidency was his secretary of war and his closest friend. Other Republicans believe that the mighty hunter on coming back. will say kind ly words for the administration, and will insist that MT. Taft has been all right, and that the only difficulty Is that his methods have been misunder- stood
 The men who are the closest friends of MT. Roosevelt, men whom he consult ed on political matters, and who in fact were members of his official household, are of the opinion that the colonel will keep silent on admins tration affairs for a long time after he comes back to America, and that he will make a close study of the first year of the administration and of it's outlined policies for the future, before he says or writes word in approval or disapproval
 Sees Work for Ex-President.
 One of MT. Roosevelt's close friends, to him in an advisory way during his term as president, than any other man in the United States, is now an office holder in New York city. Unquestion- ably this New York man, whose iden- tity is not hard to guess, is particu- larly interested in New York state pol itics. He foresaw the row which re- gently broke cut between the Repub- lican factions in the Empire State, and he came to the conclusion apparently, for he Is a good judge of men and political conditions, that affairs in New York could be strengthened out only by some one with strong hand, and he had one man in mind who at that time was far away in the jungles of Africa.
 The Democrats in Washington are not at all unhappy over the troubles which are besetting the Republicans in New York state. The Democrats have set it down as certainty that they are to carry the next house of representatives, and they say freely that with Democratic victory next fall another Democratic victory in the fall two years hence is certain to fol iow It is virtually necessity that the party which elects president. shall carry New York state
 The Republicans have troubles also in Ohio and in Indiana. In these two states they have not taken on as sharp and virulent form as has the quarrel in New York
 The Republicans when twitted about the difficulties which they seem
