THE EGO.NAvIAC.


To rHg EDiroH ~ rHE suN-SI, when
Roosevelt was prsss nisd 10 tho Saratoga
convention by Vice President sherman hs
said 4 thank you for this honor. gentlemen.
and assure you that nothing I say or do
IN this position will make you regret your
choice Tho speech which he had pre-
pared and given to the press was then
delivered. but the published report did not
contain this sentence The sentence re
ferred TO was To reassure the convention
after 1t had listened to the debate preceding
he choice OF temporary chairman. and WAS
not for circulation west or the Mississippi
River.
When the W adsworth motion to amend
the report Of koos-v.lt's specially contrived
committee on resolutions Was made for the
purpose Of striking out Its direct primary
feature. Roosev-l mounted the rostrum
,Mr Root presiding' and said This IL
precisely the point which will determine
whether this platform IL or 10 not pro-
gressive He had evidently examined
the platform ~ drawn by the committee
and found that It was TO his taste with the
direct primary plank In. His statement was
approval Of the platform generally.
For further consumption by the conven-
ton no proceeded In his direct primary
speech to whittle the issue down 90 ~ TO
constrne the platform a. meaning direct
primaries for Senators and Asssmbiymen
only. For reasons best known to himself
he omitted Consressmen. II was quite
apparent. however. to all who knew the
situation that he could not carry with him
Congressman II he attempted to apply direct
nominations to COngressmsn.
The presa paid little u any attention 20
these impromptu remarks OF Roosevelt.

his a. bearing upon his double dealing on
the tarff and direct primaries; on his appear
ance as q conservative a. Saratoga with
scarcely dash OF radicalism. as against his
osaw atomic speech and his later posinEs IN
the South and West.
have failed 20 sse any notice in the press
OF his daily conversations with the New
York bosses as he met them during the last
two years OF his Presidency. He would say
to Barnes. Woodruff. Ward. Hendricks.
Aldridge and the rest A. he saw them: I
cannot bear that man Hughes: he ~ in
siderable. IL the issue comes up between
you and Hughes. l will be with you: i do
not believe in direct primaries. when
Hughes was a candidate for President.
Roosevelt organized the preliminaries Of a
campaign to carry New York for Taft. and
held consult atoms for the purpose OF beat
ing that man Hughes in his own State.
Taft cut this short by declaring that he
would not be candidate in New York.
IL follows from the foregoing. to use
Roosevelt's words. that everybody now op
posed TO him may be said to be in crooked
business or crooked politics. 10 il just
possible that in framing these phrases 1t
occurred 90 Roosevelt that all OF his oppo- |
nents could be 80 classified because they would
necessarily be up against crooked business
and crooked politics when they were night
