uMNGSTON'S OPINION
|RRTATES ROOSEVELT

OYSTER BAY. n. z. July 25.-Col
Roosevelt today was irritated by the
opinion given by Jacob A Livingston
New York state election commissioner
to the effect that under the law no candi-
dates for presidential electors could be
named by petition by the national pro-
gressive party in this state.
That seems to be a development of
the national committees idea that It Is
supereme," he said. Mr.. Livingston will
find that he is very much mistaken. He
will find that the people are supreme. and
that he and the politicians are the serv-
ants Of the people and not their mas
ters.'
VIII Discuss Chicago Speech.
The colonel said that he expected visits
from several Of his political advisers late
today. With them he expects to go over
some Of the main points Of his Chicago
speech.
Lieut. Gov. Gordon of Minnesota and
C. T. Knapp Of Minneapolis. reached Oys-
ter Bay this afternoon. They said they
had come east to discuss the Minnesota
situation with Col. Roosevelt

Col. Roosevelt smiled when he was told
Of reports that William J. Bryan would
follow his trail through the campaign.
BRYANT" he exclaimed. The colonels
law shot forward aggressively and his
teeth came together with sharp click
IT don't see that there Is anything for
me to say at this time" he added.
It was pointed out that Col. Roosevelt
and Col. Bryan have crossed swords In
two national campaigns. and that the
ex-President is thoroughly familiar with
the characteristics of the Nebraskan.
while thus far he has had no opportunity
to become acquainted with the fighting
qualities Of the democratic nominee Of
1912 Col. Roosevelt intends to attack
the democratic and republican organiza-
lions with equal vigo., as he has already
done. in the hope of placing his opponents
on the defensive at the outset

HOUSE REMAINS firm
AGAINST BAHLESH|PS
May Consent to Torpedo Boat
Increase If Senate Will
Drop Big Fighters.

A complete Disagreement between the
House and Senate over the battleship pro-
gram was reported to the two houses or
Congress today by the conferees on tho
naval appropriation bill. This action re-
suited from the decision Of the demo-
Gratis OF the House In caucus last night
to oppose any appropriation for battle
ships this year.
The disagreement covered the two Dat
tleships and the four submarine torpedo
boats added to the bill by the Senate. IL
is understood the House will consent 10
the Senate's increase OF torpedo boats
from four to eight IL the Senate Will back
down on the battleship program
Senate to Stand Pat.
Senator Perkins, chairman of the Sen
ate conferees. declared today that the
Senate members would not give UP the
battleship plan unless instructed to do so
by the Senate. There was no evidence
today of a break In the deadlock existing
between the two houses. All other Prov
sions OF the naval appropriation OH nave
been agreed to. but the disagreement
holds I'D the entire bill.
REPRESENTATIVE Sulzer OF New YORK

calling for another democratic caucus Oh

that when absent democrats return =

charge was made that the demo-

nnuhiic building bills and swollen river and

to allow the Senate to slip an appropria-
