TWO ROCUES FALL OUT.

| lWW kU0UES FALL UUl
New York Republican Leader De-
clares in Statement that "Hyste-
ria Has Run Riot Throughout
this Country" and Inferrentiallyi
Places Responsibility.
The old adage that when rogues
, fall out honest men will get their
dues, is. on the way to verifcation
In the State of New York, where
the Republican leaders are cunning
for Teddy, who has fallen like
firebrand in their midst It is to
be hoped that the fight will be
veritable kilkenny cat affair. The
people would be benefited. :S
VIM. Barnes, Jr., Republican State
committeeman and leader Of Albany
issued statement Friday night, in.
which he declares that ''hysteria has
run riot throughout this country
land that the question to be decided
at the coming Republican State Con-
vention at Saratoga, is whether the
Republican party will fight the dis
ease or succumb in the interests Of
politicians seeking office or tetnpor-,
ary acclaim
The character of the recent ad-
dresses Of Theodore Roosevelt in
the West, he says, "has startled all
thoughtful men and impressed them
with the frightful danger which lies
in his political ascendency."
When he talked with Col. Roose-,
velt, after the meeting that selected
Mr.. Sherman temporary chairman OF
the Convention over the Colonel
and learned his attitude toward
public matters" Mr.. Barnes says he
told the former President he never
could have voted for him. MT.
Barnes statement in part says:
"At the coming Convention it will
be determined whether the Repub-
lican party Of this State, officially.
through its chosen representatives
in Convention, intends to bow It's
head to :rhe political agitation of the
hour, which Is the cause of the palsy
i overhanging he'busiHess world to-
day or will stand firmly and in, un-
mistakeable terms by its rock-ribbed
conservative principles, which. have
when it is in power, given confidence
to the. business world and encour-
| aged enterprises.
| "Hyst arla has run riot through
out this country, expressing itself in
one form or another, such as direct
nominations, the initiative and re-
terendum,' the initiative and recall
| it matters little what particular
form hysteria takes-the question
to be decided at Saratoga is wheth-
er the Republican party will fight
the disease or succumb In the in
terests of the politicians seeking Of
6ce or temporary acclaim.
"The recent attack on the Su-
preme Court Of the United States by
| a keen witted and aspiring citizen
could not have been made without
purpose well considered. It was
an appeal to passion. If this appeal
against judicial decision is popular
and not rebuked there is no reason
whatsoever, if direct primary law
should be enacte din this state, why
candidates for judicial Offices, COM
PEELED to run the gauntlet Of dis
trict or Statewide primary, would
not, in order to appeal to the tenl-
porary sentiments OF the moment,
declare in advance their attitude up
on matters which come before them
for judicial review. Instead of men
of long legal experience and judicial
training, there would be as candi-
dates for the Bench lawyers who
would not hesitate to make that
kind Of appeal to the people, which
would be a disgrace to their pro-
fession."
Takes Up For Teddy.
When Mr.. Barnes statement was
communicated to Lloyd C.. Griscom,
president Of the New York county
Republican committee, at his coun-
try place at Fairfield, Conn, Friday
night, he dictated the following re-
ply:
"Mr. Barnes is trying by words to
make the public forget he and his
closest associates have recently been
caught in an ugly and decetful a..
tempt to obtain control Of the COM
ing Republican State Convention.
The Republican party in New York
State will have welcome opportun
lty at the Convention to reprove
such methods"
