1.-THE dream of a permanent Presl-

haunted the pillows OF his many FOL

workings of a new nationalism when
the executive power shall become the
steward of the public welfare and an
INDEPENDENT judiciary, basins ls
Judgment on principles instead OF
men, shall be no more.
"Then, too, shall the good trusts

others under the leadership OF tnel'

The Roosevelt Danger.
William Barnes, Jr., Republican
leader in Albany county, New YORK
has issued a statement in when ne
refers to a statement of Mr.. Griscom
that the action of the State commit
tee "in selecting Mr.. Sherman as
chairman will certainly
be overturned by the convention ana
that Mr.. Roosevelt will preside, which
means that he will appoint the COM
mittee on resolutions.
.If Mr.. Roosevelt is temporary
chairman and If the
adopts the report of a radical conf
mittee on resolutions, New York Will
place herself alongside Of Kansas
and Iowa, and the conservative ele-
ment of the Republican party when
for years has been its backbone, Will
be invited to the rear and the ne"
nationalism coupled with the Bryan
tie announcement against the decls-
ions of the Supreme Court will TAKE
it's place
Mr.. Barnes then says that If Mr..
Sherman's name should be ratified by
the convention and If the resolutions
committee drafts a platform endors-
ing the Taft administration, declar-
ing opposition to the political hyster-
Ia of the hour, land firmly planting
itself upon the sane Republicanism OF
the past, then the party can enteN
the campaign with respect for Itself
which ought to command the respect
of the majority of the electorate as
It has before"
Some Of the men who are urging
Mr.. Roosevelt's candidacy for tempo
rary chairman Of the convention
against Vice-President Sherman have
little realization Of the rising tide
OF popular disapproval which MIR
Roosevelt's speeches in the West
have caused. His assumption o.
power is looked upon with wonder
ment. His ability to arouse the pas
sions of the mob is dreaded in ever!
quarter of the State and every da!
the menace Of his political ascen-
dainty to business and to labor IL
more thoroughly appreciated.
II do not believe that his name
will ever be presented to the conven
ton against the recommendation OF
the State committee Of Mr.. Sherman.
n it Is, it will certainly be voted
down in the cause of true Republl-
canism as that the convention Will
convene. Thoughtful men all over
the State are aroused 10 the regret
table fact that Mr.. Roosevelt today

world Of business and labor In the
United States. They hope with ear

party in this State will not In Its
