The utter roue of the cid guard by
Theodore Roosevelt at the Republican
state convention, in Saratoga. was pre-
dicted today by Colonel Roosevelt
himself At the CONCLUSION Of long
conference at Sagamcre Hill today
with half a dozen of his lieutenanis.
Colonel Roosevelt said:
Il think | may be reasonably safe
in saving that we shall have 100 ma
jority.'

from New York late in The afternoon
for a final survey of the battlefield.
Ali Over "But the Shouting"
The reports Colonel Roosevelt re-
ceived this afternoon convinced him
that it was all over but the shouu-
ng" Unless some unexpected rever-
sal should be met, he was positive
that the Republican organization
would be forced to give ground be-
fore the progIessives when the
test came at Saratoga next week. HIS
estimate of 100 majority was concur
red in by the others who attended the
conference.
The attitude of the Roosevelt forces
toward the Taft administration was
outlined by Mr. Barnard.
I'm my opinion, said he. 1.-The Sara
toga convention viii adopt a resolu-
ton strongly endorsing The admins
tration OF President Taft. In accord
ance with the Presidents expressed
wish, no mention will be made OF
anv denomination in 1912. No oppo-
sition TO an endorsement of the ad
ministration will come from delegates
friendly to Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr..
Griscom.''
Mr. Griscom said that he had
brought good news to Sycamore Hiii.
Il reported to Mr. Roosevelt, ne
said. that there had been severai
ieccess'cns to our ranks among them
delegates from Duchess and Mont
romery counties. There may De
more. Mr.. Roosevelt viii be temper
ary chairman. There is no question
abouf that. We shall have majority
of more than 100 delegates.
Colonel Roosevelt said that the
names Of several candidates were
gone over. but that no agreement OF
anv of them had been reached Inc
plafform would be progressive.
Colonel Roosevelt said that ne feil
that a plank on direct nomination
would be placed in the platform

everything they raise to sail these
piping days of prosperity. A calam-
ity howl cannot gather much moss
in prosperous times. The other
Democratic issues are higher taxes
and extravaganza in the conduct of
state affairs. The conduct of state
affairs is matter of great pride to
the Republicans and will be pointed
to frequently throughout this cam
paign. The high tax issue was met
squarely and overcome before the
primary election, and then to clinch
the matter the state tax commission
reduced the state levy IS cents for
the year 1911.
This "squelcher" hBs been over
looked by the Democratic campaign
managers, but they will mest it face
to face in the campaign.

1t seems to be a fixed principle
with a Democratic candidate, that
given enough rope he will surely
hang himself. Senator George
Hodges, nominee of that party for
governor, has crossed his wires and
knotted the rope securely under his
own chin. His speeches are COM
posed of strange and fearful ingred-
tents. Regular and progre stve Re-
phblicans are enjoylng them, while
The independent and progressive
Democrats are amazed. That Hod.
ses, who won his state reputation as
a progressive IN the senate, fighting
with Srubbs and the pro 5ressive Re
publicans for reforms, should now
luru and denounce the men he
fought shoulder to shoulder with as
demogogues, and then stand up for
the corporations as being uniustly
treated by popular clsmor and rab
BILE rousers, is fine thing upon
which to build a monument for the
late Mr.. Hodges. What was good
enough for Hodges as senator is not
good enough for Hodges as candi
date for governor. The interests
must be protected, so Hodges will
see that they are not mistreated by
the demagogues who represent the
interests of the people. The word
"demagogue," as used in recent cam
paigns, was coined by the servant Of
the corporations. 1t was applied
to Hodges and Stubs alike when
they worked together for the reform
laws on the Kansas statute books.
Now Hodges is using the word in
mis- reference to Stubbs.
