The State.
Washington, Oct. 13.-When Col.
Roosevelt arrives in New York tomor-
row after his strenuous Swing
around the circle" he will be prevailed
upon, according 10 Judge Alton B..
Parker, to declare that he will not be
a candidate for the presidency in
1912. Judge Parker said in an auth
orized statement yesterday:
s'I am informed that Mr.. Roosevelt
has been advised by his friends that
in this State the tide has set in so
strongly against the new nationalism,
with himself as the steward Of the
public welfare in 1912 and thence on
for the balance of his life, that he can
only hope to save the situation for
himself and his ticket by announcing
that he will not be a candidate in
1912, and, further, I am informed that
he has agreed to make such a state
ment within the next two or three
days.
There can be no doubt of his candi-
dacy in the mind of any man who
has watched his course, carefully
read his speeches, and noted his al
most brutal treatment Of President
Taft.
Will Try to Deceive People.
"From my knowledge of and exper-
ience with him, I have no hesitation
in saying that while assurance will
be given by him that he will not be
candidate in 1912, his purpose is to
deceive the people of this State in the
hope that they will elect his ticket.
That done, he will accept the result
as a command by the people Of the
State that he be its candidate. Then,
with the political machine under his
control, nothing can prevent him
from securing the delegates from this
State.
"There is one sure way, and only
one, to avoid Mexicanizing this coun-
frv. and that is to defeat his ticket
now"
Judge Parker has been criticising
Roosevelt's recent utterances with
considerable severity, especially his
references to the judiciary of the
country. He has declared that the new
nationalism" stuff is an insidious as
sault on the constitution and the
present forms Of government. The
Judge has volunteered his services in
behalf of the Democratic ticket in
New York, and will follow the ex-
president in his speaking tour
through the State, speaking in reply
to Roosevelt's appeals for support OF
his man, Stimson.
Basis for Parker'S View.
That there is some reason for Judge
Parker's opinion, based on informa-
ton he claims to have, that Roosevelt
has agreed to disclaim intention to
run in 1912 for the presidency is in
dicated by the situation in New York.
A few days after the Roosevelt con-
vention at Saratoga had done its mas
ter's bidding, Charles H. Young, for
mer president of the Republican club
in New York, announced publicly lis
determination, after 81 years Of party
regularity, to vote the Democratic
ticket. A few days later it became
known that out Of a group Of % regu-
lar Republicans at the Union League
club, 25 declared that they would
vote the Democratic ticket this year,
because of Roosevelt's domination of
the Republican situation. 1t is now
stated that large numbers Of other
lifelong Republicans are following
the example of these early boilers,
and have determined to vote the Dem
ocratic ticket this year for the first
time in their lives. The reason, of
course, is the spectre of Rooseveltism
that stands behind Henry L. Stimson;
the Republican candidate. In fact,
there is little opposition to Stimson
among the Republicans, but many of
them believe, like Judge Parker, that
the time to put Rooseveltism out of
business once for all is now.
Even Sheldon May Bolt.
The gossip in New York political
circles has been for several days that
George R. Sheldon, the man who act
ed as treasurer of the Republican ma
