Washington. March s.
ROOSEVELT AND HUGHES.-That the
Republican party in New York State must
make the clean politics OF Charles E.
Hughes and Theodore Roosevelt its OWN;
that, despite the Governors determination
not TO be candidate TO succeed himself,
the party must choose its leaders from
among those who are In sympathy with
the high aims of the Governor and can
command his respect, and that, II possi-
BILE. the personal interest of the Governor
and OF the former President must be re-
tanned for the New York Republican or
Sanization were the chief conclusions
reached at the informal conference held
Yesterday in the rooms of Senator Root
in the Capitol 1t is the belief of New
Workers in Washington that the way to
success lies along the lines pursued by the
Governor and advocated by Colonel ROose-
welt, in entire sympathy with which are
Senator Root, Lloyd c. Griscom and Will
lam II. Taft. The organization OF Platt
and odelr in the opinion of the men who
met in Mr.. Roots room yesterday. must
be emphatically relegated to the past 1t
must be succeeded by a new and higher
order-one which will command the re-
spect and confidence OF those who wish
to see the Republican party in the entire
state take the lead in all that is clean and
upright and progressive,
WOULD REPLACE WOODRUFF.-The
conviction that there must be a complete
reorganization is accompanied by the free
I " expressed opinion that it would be
wiser TO replace Timothy L. Woodruff as
state chairman with a man OF more mod
ern ideas, one who not only is but is
known to be in entire sympathy with the
new order if such it may be termed.
There has been considerable talk of Rep
resentative Vreeland as Mr. Woodruff's
successor but advces from Albany seem
to indicate a lack OF enthusiasm for Mr..
Vreeland. and the New Workers in Wash
ington are emphatic in their declarations
that they have no wish to dictate to the
Republicans of the state. 1t is now sug-
geSted that no wiser course could be pur-
sued than TO await the return OF Colonel
Roosevelt. and then TO consult him be-
fore choosing state chairman. There is
some discussion of Speaker Wadsworth,
but some question whether he would quite
measure up to the standard deemed essen
tiaI to Republican success, and all seem
disposed to advise deferring a decision on
this important matter for the immediate
present.
ROOT FOR LEADER.-There is gen.
eral desire that Senator Root shall assume
the responsibilities of leadership, at least
in so far as the state is interested in
national politics. Mr.. Root is not enthusi-
astic over this idea. He has not natural
taste for politics. On the other hand, he is
not disposed to shirk any responsibilities
which may properly devolve upon him. Mr..
Root is being urged to make a trip to Al
bany, the more thoroughly to acquaint him
self with conditions and with the sent-
ment at the state capital, and it is possible
that he will consent to go. Mr.. Root and
Mr.. Grscom are in entire accord in their
views regarding the conduct OF the party,
and President Taft would welcome a situa-
ton where he could look TO his former
Cabinet associate and intimate friend as
