HARNESS PARTING SHOT
Resents Alleged Dictation by
Roosevelt at Saratoga.
by Telegraph to The Tribune. !


Albany Sept 26.--William Barnes, jr..
takes a parting shot at ex-President Roose-
welt in an editorial tonight, in which he
says:
At the meeting of the Republican State
Committee on August IS, after Mr.. Girls
CONS amendment that Mr.. Rooseyelt's
name be submitted for that of Mr.. Sher-
man had been defeated by vote of 20 to
Is, that committee unanimously voted to
select Mr.. Sherman FOR temporary chair
man.
II is reported that Mr.. Roosevelt, because
he was not selected, will make a fight on
the floor of the convention tomorrow to
overturn the action of the state committee
The temporary craftsmanship of the con-
vention is really unimportant matter.
IT is highly important. however, that the
state committee, the official organization
Of the Republican party in this state when
a state convention is not in session should
not be dominated by any individual against
it's will
All state committees. legislatures. etc,
have always taken advice from outside
their membership. and always will. But
We recall no instance where such body
has taken dictation under threats Of dis
ruption of the party, as in the present in
stance.
Not delegate to the convention who will
vote for Mr.. Roosevelt can do so with
clear heart He will do it for what he
believes to be political eXpediency, on the
theory that the public is ignorant.
