WoRKMEN'S COMPENSATION.

Addressing an audience composed
largely Of H-orkinSmen at Kansas CITY.
Kan. Mr.. Roosevelt declared nmselt IN
favor of legislation which would compei
employers 10 compensate their employees
for injuries received in the line Of duty at
a schedule TO he fixed by law. and he de-
clsred that the government should compel
such rayrneut in order that the cmploNe
might be relieved Of the necessity Of re
tanning an attorney.
"PIans for the Roosevelt direct nomina-
tions fight TO he made at the Republican
state Convention and for the preliminary
battles in the upstate primaries were dis
cussed at an informal series of conferences
Of upstate and Brooklyn Progressives with
Lovd G Griscom. In these conferences
were Postmaster Frederick Grelner OF Buf-
falo, leader of Erie County: Naval Officer
Kracke leader of the 18th District of
Kings: Darwin r. James. Jr.. president OF
the Young Republican Club. OF Brooklyn;
ex-Mayor Cutler of Rochester, one of the
leading independents in George Aldrich' s
baiIiwick; Collector William Loeb, jr-, and
Senator Davenport. OF Oneida County
Following these conferences. Mr.. Greiner
made public this formal statement: 'Mr.
G1einer. Mr.. Kracke and Mr.. Griscom are
agreed tIl3t MI. ftOOSeNtil : iIdilic Sidii pc
presented TO the coming state convention
as candidate for temporary chairman,
and also that they will use their best en-
deavors 10 have included III the party plat
form a direct nominations plank
William Barnes, jr., Republican boss Of
Albany. issued a statement attacking Col
onel Roosevelt in strong terms. Among
other things, he said:
The recent attack upon the Supreme
Court Of the United States by a keen
witted and aspiring citizen could not have
been made without a purpose well thought
out Ii was an appeal to passion. If this
appeal against judicial decisions is popular
and is not Tebuked, there is no reason
what atsoever. if q direct primary law should
he enacted in this state, that candidates
for judicial Offices compelled TO run the
gauntlet of a district or state wide pTi-
mary. would not in order to appeal TO the
temporary sentiments OF the moment, de
clare N advance their attitude upon mat
tiers which would come before them for
judicial review. Instead of men Of long
legal experience and judicial training.
there would he candidates for the bench
from lawyers who would not hesitate 10
make that kind of appeal to the people
which would be q disgrace to their pro-
feseion.'
The New Ideaites at meeting in Jer-
sey City adopted resolution declaring for
Theodore Roosevelt as the leader Of the
Increment and as their choice for the next
nomination for President.
New-York tribune., 1910-09-04
TAFT'S PLAN OF CAMPAIGN.

president Taft pointed the way to VIC
tory for united Republcanism this fall in
his campaign letter 10 Congressman Will
ia1n B. Mckinley. chairman of the Repub-
IiCan Congressional Committee, which was
made public by the committee.
'fThe differences between Republicans Of
whatever shade the President Classics as
simply compilations Of Republicanism,' and
he declares that with all Republicans en-
gagged in q campaign of education the
country will continue the partys ma jority
in Congress.
" The question, then he says. will be
not what complexion of Republicansm one
prefers. but whether II is better for the
country to have the Republican party con-
troll the legislation for the next two years
and further redeem it's promises, 10 en-
axle a Democratic majority in the House
either to nteTpOse a veto to Republican
measures. or to formulate and pass bills to
carry out Democratic principles. Differ
ences within the party were manifested in
the two sessions of the present Congress-
and Vet never in its history has the Re
publican party passed and become respon-
sble for IS much useful and progressive
legislation.
While upholding the Payne tariff law as
had. the Presidents letter frankly con-
cedes the existence of defects il it and out
lines the method for intelligent and scien-
tific revision Of the tariff IS recommended
by the Tariff Board which is already at
work on investigation of its workings
For such a revision it would only be
necessary that Congress adopt rule pro-
viding that only the schedule under discus
q ltr aal, doing
away forever with the necessity for an en-
tire tariff revision. with its attendant bust
ness worry and depression. Some Of the
criticisms Of the present tariff Law, the
President admits, arc Just. but some. he
SAYS. are ide or the mark sNd most
unjuS-
Mr.. Taft's plea for Republican ma for
ify in the next House is based in general on
an argument that the present adminisra-
ton and Congress have made great prog
ress in carrying out the reform pledges of
the Chicago platform. and that an opportu-
nifty should he given TO complete the work
so well begun.
THE President also appointed Joseph 4.
Holmes director Of the new Bureau OF
Mines. You may remember that this
bureau was created at the last session Of
Congress TO investigate and report upon
safety devices and methods Of operation
which would prevent the loss of life in
mining. DR.. Holmes was chief Of the tech
nologtcal branch of the Geological Survey.
A fact which has given this minor appoint
mont great Importance In the public eye is
that DR. Holmes was deeply embroiled in
the Railinger- -Pinchot affair. Secretary
Railinger regarded him a ringleader in
the conspiracy which he believed was
assailing his own position. and IL is said
that the Secretary ard his friends used
their influence with the President against
the appointn1ent."
