AS TO "BTTTTNG IN"

more brazen piece Of impudence has
been rarely cen than the pretence made
on behalf of NIessrs- Barnes and Wads-
worth and their followers that these
stateSmen's course at Albany was ami
mated by virtuous Indignation over the
attempt of Mr. Roosevelt to dictate to
the Legislature. The very men who are
pluming themselves so much on their
sturdy independence and their Tebuking
of interference" by outsiders them
selves made the initial attempt to drag
Mr.. Roosevelt into the primary fight
When the extra session assembled the
managers of the opposition TO the Cobb
bill started the ball rolling with insidi-
Gus false rumorS. Doubtful Assembly
men were approached and the informa-
tfon was whispered 10 them in strict
confidence that Mr.. Loeb had seen Mr..
Roosevelt and that be was positively
against direct primaries. OF course, he
did not wish 10 be quoted openly, but
the timid one who wanted TO be on the
right side could take il for certain that
the great leader was against Hughes. The
Tribune Immediately nailed that false
hood SO far as Mr.. Loeb was concerned
and secured from him the announcement
that he favored the Cobb bill Then the
tale of Mr. Roosevelt's position took pro-
team forms The Governors enemies
were fighting him under cover with the
name and prestige of Mr.. Roosevelt
used without authority. They them
selves provoked the appeal to the ex-
President TO stop this INSCRIPTIONS mis-
use of his name, if it was misuse. and
the only way be could stop it and con-
found those who were lying about him
and his attitude toward the Governor
was 10 announce squarely and emphat-
icalIy his position in favor of the Cobb
bill
That was the sort of interference"
of which Mr.. Roosevelt was guilty As
citizen of the Empire State he might I'M
der any circumstance have expressed
his views on matter of public policy
without being justly regarded by Mr..
Barnes as a butter in on bis private
preserve as q legislative boss. But as
matter of fact he only interfered 10 pre-
vent himself from being used by the op-
pOnents of Governor Hughes TO boss the
Legislature in their favor. For them TO
complain now that he "bUtted in on a
situation into which they with their
,falsehoods had dragged him offers the
public a fair measure of their political
sincerity and their sense of common
daganry
