as the result OF the initiation last
night at the hands of the president of
be United States inc an organize ton
which appears to have almost as bril-
ilant future as the famous Ananlas
Ciuo or the previous administration
Personally and officially the next to
the first citizen of the nation is I'm
bad in view OF the open reputation
by the president of the tactics pursued
by Sherman at the recent meeting
OF the New York State committee,
and his drastic condemnation of the
old guard for humiliatlng Colonel
Roosevelt Politicians to-day are
freely predicting that Sherman Will
step down, not only as temporary
chairman. but PERHAPS from the vice
presidency. Just how Sherman can
make peace and again stand In the
good graces of the president, after
being publicly labeled by him as
trickster and betrayer OF confidence,
nobody cares to hazard.
Friends of the president are iubi-
liant to-day in the belief that his dras-
comb. disavowing any plot against
Roosevelt. will heal the breach be-
tween Oyster Bay and Beverly.
Come to law.
At the same time Roosevelt admirers
are pointing to the fact that the ad-
mfnistration capitalized to the terms
OF peace offered by the colonsi-a
break with Sherman
Not only did the vice. president plot
treachery as charged in the Taft let
ter, but Immediately after receiving
instructions from the president last
"Wednesday to see Colonel Roosevelt
and pave the way for harmony, roster
the coionePs defeat as temporary
preston with the newspaper men at
the Taft cottage that ne would not
withdraw as chairman, and that there
wos,id be q republican platform with
out the Qualifying adjective progress
siye" which Roosevelt stood for.
He left definite impression that
the president approved OF what had
happened and did not care a hang
about Colonel RooseS cit. The presi-
dents letter proves that Sherman had
received instructions to steer exactly
in an opposite course
Beverly is also wondering to-day
how Sherman will be able to stand
by his denial at Utica yesterday of the
charges OF former Assemblyman Hart
