7 REPUBLICANS OPPOSED

Albany, n y, July 2. Theodore
Roosevelt is to be asked to get back into
the harness again. His decisive defeat
in both the Senate and the Assembly at
the hands Of the Republican organization
mas created a situation which may force
him to take an active part in the poll.
tics OF both the state and the nation.
The Republican organization moved
swiftly, silently, smoothly yesterday in
finishing in the Senate the work It had
begun in the Assembly. In less than
two hours after the organization men
mad charged up Capitol Hill yesterday
morning, they had captured the fort and
were marching down again. The Cobb
direct nomination bill, known as "the
Roosevelt bill" was put TO death with
25 votes for It to 10 against, 20 votes be-
ing necessary to pass. The vivid per-
sonality Of Roosevelt, the weight Of
bis influence, his record Of victories over
unwilling politicians and legislators
failed TO shake the set purpose Of the
organization and Roosevelt sustained one
Of the few defeats Of his career.
Colonel Rooseyelt's defeat was in no
sense q reputation Of bis leadership, or
an indication that his power is on the
wane, those who stood with him say.
They have a majority Of the Republican
votes in both branches Of the legislature,
and Il was only BY a combination with
the Democrats that the organization was
able to win.
Governor Hughes, while he viii not
talk publicly, Is known to take the hope
ful view Of the situation
Lloyd g. Griscom, chairman Of the
New York county Republican commit
tee, to whom Colonel Roosevelt sent bis
telegram endorsing the Cobb bill with
tho Griseom amendments, had this 20
say:
"The first thing Of all which stands
out clearly is Of national importance.
nc IL the consolidation absolutely Of
three such men as Taft, Roosevelt and
Hughes This situation has brought
about such a condition, and Il would
81 difficult 70 imagine situation more
hopeful 10 the party, both in the state
and in the nation.
"The prospects Of the party next fall
would be seriously affected Ii toe action

The point r wish to emphasize is that ii

broad party interests were lost to view
and nothing but personalities counted.

IT IS NOW ASSERTED.
Little Talk Of Politics--The Former
President, Still Reticent, Leaves
Boston for His Return
Home.

Beverly, Mass, July 2.-Further adj
vices regarding the Taft Roosevelt meet
ing have borne out the statements made
earlier that politics had entered into
the conversation between the two, but
only in casual way.
The affair has given rise to report
that Colonel Roosevelt may visit Beverly
during the summer. When he was qucs-
toned on this point Thursday night,
however, the former president said he
had no such purpose ia mind.
Thursdays call was just what the
intimate friends Of the two men had pre-
dicted IL would be. It was almost Who'll.
ly personal The colonel appeared to be
in high elee. He had a world Of anec-
dotes 70 tell and was ripping with
laughter
A great many friends Of Colonel
Roosevelt have contended all along that
he would not presume to indicate 70
President Taft what he thought he
should or should not do. Their view Of
the situation seems 70 have been borne
out by Thursdays events.
1t is not Thought likely that Mr..
Roosevelt would think Of offering any
advice until II was specifically asked.
President Taft, it ia argued, made
such successful fight with Congress
in the enactment Of progressive measures
st the session just closed that he feels
confident in his position and believes he
has given his party q record upon which
1t can well afford to stand in the com
ing campaign
Considerable interest has centered in
the effect that the Ballinger-P inchot con-
troversy might have had upon the rela-
tions between Mr. Taft and Mr.. Roose-
welt. Nothing could &c learned, either
Thursday night Or yesterday, as to
whether this controversy was discussed.
Martin A. Knapp, chairman Of the in
terstate commerce commission, arrived
ID Beverly yesterday morning.
