Roosrysl1s DEAL.

Western disguest with the so-ealiet
Roosevelt platform adopted IN New
York state should be held in allegiance
until all the facts and conditions sur
rounding that convention shall have
been known. Roosevelt. himself IS on
another speech making 1our, and the
correspondents have given il out that
he wants his insurgency Or progressive
republican,srn judged by his western
speeches rather than by The New York
state platform.
To men experienced in convention
proceedings Il IS all very clear that
Mr.. Roosevelt might have had no more
control over the platform in that con-
yention than man from Kalamazoo.
It was seen that MS candidacy for
temporary chairman was protected az
the eleventh hour There had been no
preliminary cam paign u long duration
to define issues clearly az home n he

had attended 70 the precinct eaucuses
and were in control q the county con-
ventions before Roosevelt jumped n
the fight.
At the very crisis % the campaign
Roosevelt hurriedly called ~ TAFT.
Some say he appealed . Tai, Cor help
Everybody knows that Roosevelt is q
politician OF the A-sr water. He vas
corrupt leaders OF the old guard. He
needed delegates. Whether he made
deal with Taft or not can only oe sur
missed. Certain it is that TAFT and the
tariff bill were handsomely taken care
of in the resolutions and The New York
Evening Post points out that large
proportion OF the Roosevelt strength in
the convention was com prised Of fed
eral office holders. Men who have
taken part In political conventions can
see clearly the predicament Roosevelt
was IN Federal office holders and
corrupt local bosses from the big cities
together controlled the convention. To
defeat Barnes and his ilk and secure
the nomination OF candidates pledged
to a statewide primary law Roosevelt
was forced 10 trade with somebody. Il
he did not he would suffer personal
defeat. the primary law would be lost
and nothing gained. BY trading DO
auets for Taft and The tariff bill ne
saved himself and the statewide pri-
mary reform and Roosevelt i always a
politician.
Until he asserts publicly that ne IS in
exact personal harmony with evary
plank in that platform ne is entitled to
be Judged BY his own pubic utcerances
