placed under the authority of three
commissioners, appointed by the prest-

CLAIMED ROOSEVELT is AN
UNDouBTED ANTl-TAFT
INsURGENT!

Oyster Bay. 49, Theodore Roosevelt
may stay out of politics in New York
state during the coming campaign as
a result of the action of the Republi-
can state committee in refusing to
recommend him as temporary chair
man OF the state convention.
Colonel Roosevelt laughed as he
talked OF the meeting and said that
the result gave him genuine pleasure.
He explained his attitude by saying
that he felt the committee had relieyd
him of all responsibility in connection
with the conduct and result of the
campaign. He added that he had not
decided whether he would attend the
convention.
He would talk things over with Rep
resentative Cocks and other political
leaders of his home district, he said,
before deciding; and he is inclined to
the belief that it would be better to
stay away and let the "Old Guard"
carry on the fight by itself
New York. - The Herald says:
Theodore Roosevelt for President
in 1912"
That, in effect, is the announcement
from Oyster Bay. The retired Presi-
dent is convinced that the close po-
litical friends of President Taft en-
tered into a deal whereby he was to
suffer a humiliating defeat for tenn
porary chairman Of the state conven-
tion, to satisfy the state leaders, who,
in turn, are pledged to deliver the
state delegation to the President at
the next national convention.
Consequently the word: 1T will
not be a surprise to those who are
close to Mr.. Roosevelt if the recent
President finds himself placed in such
a position that he will be forced to
become an avowed candidate for the
presidential nomination in 1872
Meanwhile the leaders of the New
York state machine express them
selves as highly satisfied with the sit
uation growing out of the defeat OF
Mr.. Roosevelt and say that they have
perfected arrangements by which they
will control at least 600 votes to 400
foI the Roosevelt adherents in the
state convention.
AS result of his defeat by the Re-
publican state committee, Washington
leaders regard Mr.. Roosevelt as an
avowed Insurgent, placed squarely at
the head of the opposition to the Taft
administration and wide split in the
party is feared.
Vice President Sherman, after n
lCnP conference with President Taft,
made it clear that direct primaries
will be treated as a dead issue" in
the state campaign.

Lawyers have a peculiar system Of
abbreviation, such words as trustees,
executors being cut down to trees,

to an amusing slip on the part of a

abandoned his profession and entered
