| According to Judge Parker Roose-
welt will be prevailed on to declare
that he will not be 4 candidate for
the presidency in 1912. Judge Par
ker said in an authorized statement
Thursday.
Il am informed that Mr.. Roose-
Welt has been advised by his friends
that in this State the tide has set
in so strongly against the new nat
|ionalism with himself as the steward
of the public welfare in 1912 and
thence on for the balance of his
life, that he can Only hope to save
the situation for himself and his
ticket by announcing that he will not
be a candidate in 1912, and, further,
am impormed that he has agreed
to make such statement within the
next two or three days.
There can be- no doubt of his
Candidacy in the mind Of any man
twho has watched his course, careful
Ily read his speeches, and noted his
almost brutal treatment Of President
Taft.
From my knowledge Of and ex-
perience with him. have no hesita-
)tion in saying that while assurance
will be given by him that he will
not be candidate in 1912, his pur-
pose is&to deceive the people of this
State in the hope that they will elect
Ibis ticket. That done, he will accept
the result as command by the peo-
pie of the State thar 1he, be its cam
didate. Then, with the political ma
chine under his control, nothing can
prevent him from securing the dele
gates from this State.
There is one sure way and only
one, to avoid Mexicanizing this coun-
try, and that is to. defeat his ticket
now"
Judge Parker has been criticising
tRooseyelt's recent tutterances with
considerable severity .sspeciaily his
references to the Judiciary of the
country. He has declared that the
new nationalism" stuff is an In
sidious assault on the constitution
and the present forms of government.
The Judge has volunteered his SER
vices in behalf of the Democratic
ticket in New York, and will follow
the ex-president in his speaking tour
through the State, speaking in reply
to Roosevelt's appeals for support
of his man, Stimson. ~
That there is come reason for
Judge Parker's opinion based on In
formation he claims to have, that
Roosevelt has agreed to disclaim IN
tention to run in 1912 for the presi-
dency is indicated by the situation
| in New York. A few days after the
Roosevelt convention at Saratoga had
done it's masters bidding, Charles
H. Young, former president of the
Republican club in New York, an
nounced publicly his determination,
after 27 years of party regularity
to vote the Democratic ticket.
A few days later it became known
that out of a group of 2S regular
Republicans at the Union League
club, 25 declared that they would
vote the Democratic ticket this year,
because of Roosevelt's domination OF
the Republican situation. 1t is now
stated that large numbers of other
life long Republicans are following
the example of these early bolters'
and have determined to vote the
Democratic ticket this year for the
first time in their lives.
The reason, Of course, is the spec
tire of Rooseveltism that stands be-
hind Henry l.. Stimson, the Repub-
|lican candidate In fact, there is
little opposition to Stimson among
the Repu ublicans, but many of them
