Advantage for the Old Guard.
The better strategy of the old guard
has at several stages in the contest
given it distinct advantage, notably
in its involving President Taft in the
controversy for time, in seeming OPP
position to the eX-Presdent. Some

perspective to the outcome of the

the old guard went to see Mr.. Taft. 1t

to confer with Roosevelt; that any

would be agreeable to Beverly But
this was not the impression which
they gave out. Mr.. Taft with his ma

He himself after an interview at Bev-

of the Standpat sort. the plain impli-
cation of which was that President
Taft Cheorfully acquiesced in the Sc
lection of the Vice President. Roose-
Welt promptly announced that he
would make the contest. Rumors that
the President had broken into the

Mr.. Taft copy of his letter to Sher-

that time suppressed.

Roosevelt Took the Trail.

Roosevelt started out to elect
enough delegates to override the slate
which had been fixed up in the State
Committee. 1t looked like an uphill
struggle for success which would be
wholly barren Of honors. The old
guard wanted to retain control of the
organization; they did not expect to
elect their governor; they had held
Hughes in check throughout this add
mnistration and they purposed not tn
let the machine get into the hands OF
so called reformers. Roosevelt. like
them. many believed, wanted the or
ganization rather than the governor
ship: but while they could fail in No
vember without attracting any parti-
cular attention, the eyes Of the com-
try would be upon his candidate, ana
hence the important difference be-
tween the aims of the two rivals for
leadership
Why has Roosevelt won? How did
he do it? These questions are at the
basis of that Wall Street alarm al
ready alluded to. The class Of people
who attend to politics up State" are
largely petty officeholders, surrogates
and the like, or at least aspirants for
popular favor along some such lines.
These men have been going to Barnes
in increasing numbers tn say in effect.
we Ike YOU; we are regular all
right. You needn't be agraid of us, but
we are coming up for an election our
selves before long. and we think our
people would not like to have us vote
against Roosevelt for temporary

of the banqueters' refusal to listen t.
a defense of Hearst, which T. It. Will,
liams. one of his business Office men
attempted to interpose.
Here are the particular portions ot
Mayor Gaynor's speech, The Calls pub.
lication of which Hearst declares has
inflicted a 100000 injury to his bust
ness:
AS late as the 18th of this month
w. r. Hearst printed in his princi-
pal paper here the facsimile of a.
draft on the treasury of this city
for $48,000 with headlines and an
article attributing such draft as the
expenditure to the present mayor.
The headlines and article assert I
fixed the award and amount and
paid it, and the draft of the treas
ury is printed to prove it. But
when you look at the draft, as
given in the article (but how few
people scrutinized it that closely)
you perceive the date of it is left

printed in this newspaper to show
it to you, and here 1t is. When
you look at the original draft,
which 1 have also brought here for =
you to see, you see the date of it
at the top in large letters and
figures as December 81, 1909,
which is before the present city
government came in. When you
examine the said original further
oil
date audited and vouched, which
established the claim, as a legal
liability of the city, was recorded
in the comptrollers office on De-
cember 20, 1903. This date is also
omitted in the newspaper copies, as
you perceive. In plain words, two
state prison felonfes, namely, forg-
cry and Justification of public
document, were committed in the
eagerness of this publisher to
wrong the mayor of the city of
New York.
A day or two afterward, when
he heard that members of the
grand Jury were taking notice of
the matter, he published, as an ex-
cuse, that the dates were so faint
in the original draft that the pho
tograph did not reproduce it. Now,
just look at this original draft
again. The date at the top, as you
see, is in larger and more pro-
nounced letters and figures than
any other part of the draft 1 had
the draft photographed as a test
and here is the photograph. You
see that shows the date as plain
1y as any other part of the draft.
But If 1t were true that Mr..
Hearst's Photographic apparatus
would not reproduce the dates, why
should be print the draft without
dates? Why did he not put them
in in some way? The truth is, 1
am assured, that the dates were
actually cut out of the plate with
a routing machine. An inspection
of the draft as falsely printed also
shows that to be the case, as you
see in respect of the date of De-

Speaking for himself, Colonel Wat

sued him for years with preposterous
and offensive money offers, and that
he would consider himself as increas-

from Hearst. In conclusion he wrote:
