Rerouting Street Cars

The question of rerouting the street cars of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company will be brought up, although 1t is not certain that the mat ter will be definitely settled Judge Lane has introduced a resolution requiring the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company to turn it's cars going west on Twenty-first street and not at Nineteenth street, as is now the custom. The com pany is fighting the resolution, and so are the merchants whose places of busi- ness are on Nineteenth street.
 The merchants on Twentieth and Twen- ty-hrst streets are favorable to the reso- lution. It Is currently believed that Com mssioners Weatherly and Exum will ex- press a desire to consider the resolution concerning rerouting for longer period, and probabl, it will not be definitely dis posed of before Tuesday.

ROOSEVELT FOLLOWERS
TO CONTEST COLORADO

Denver, May 25.-E. p. Costigan,
one of the leading progressive repub-
licans of the state. today said that he
Is formulating a plan whereby the
progressive republicans of Colorado
may send a protesting delegation fav-
oring Roosevelt to the meetings of the
republican national committee at Chi
cago and to the republican national
convention.
j. $. Temple, progressive republi-
can, is working with him. They in
tend to ask the unseating of the eight
delegates elected by the state conven-
ton and the four elected by the two
congressional conventions on the
ground that the choice of delegates
did not, and does not, represent the
sentiment of the rank and file of the
party and was made at the dictation
OF the "Evans-Guggenhei machine"
Their idea is to use similar tactics TO
those employed against Boss" Cuff
fey. of Pennsylvania, who was unseat-
ed with his regularly elected delega-
tion in the democratic national con-
vention Of 1908, here.
In connection with their protest
they will cite the recent Denver cleo
ton. in which the citizens party was
victorious and say that IL was an over
throw OF the "Evans-Guggenhe.5 ma
chine" by two-thirds of the people of
the city, the machine having only
one-third vote.
Mr.. Costigan said that the plans
have not yet been made for the hold
ing of conventions or primaries to
choose the twelve members of the
protesting delegation.

Colonel Harry S. New Issues
Statement in Reply to 0ms-
by McHarg Who Speaks for
Roosevelt.
Committee STANDS
ON PRECEDENT
Convention to be Organized in
Orderly Manner and Selec-
ton of Temporary Chairman
Recognized Duty.


Chicago. May 25.-Col. Harry S.
New, chairman of the subcommittee
on arrangements for the republican
national convention, today issued q
statement in reply to Ormsby McHarg,
of New York, who yesterday declared
the Roosevelt forces would refuse to
abide by the selection of United States
Senator Elihu Root as temporary
chairman of the national convention.
The statement follows:
1T is difficult to believe that such q
threat as this should be made. The
national committee Is the recognized
authority, the official body of the par
ty, charged with certain duties, among
which Is the making o. necessary
preparations for an orderly conducted
convention.
The name of Senator Root occurred
to my mind without previous consulta-
tion with any one, as that of a repub-
lican whose great talents and eminent
position made him consplcuously and
pre-eminently qualified to perform the
duties attaching to the temporary
chairmanship.
'"The members Of the sub committee
on arrangements unanimously ap
proved Senator Roots selection and
not the least objection to him had
come to my ears from any member of
the republican national convention.
IAN open declaration at this time
in behalf of any candidate to the ef-
feet that his followers propose to defy
all party authority, to repudiate the
action of it's highest official body,
,ans fne further threat TO set all regu-
lar and established order at defiance
is unusual and extraordinary, to say
the least
Il have no further reason for be-
lieving it has solid foundation than
the statement attributed to Mr. Nc
Harg by the press this morning.
"The national committee has pro-
ceeded with its convention prepara-
tions in the established, time honored
manner and 1t will shirk no duty de-
volving upon it,

Elizaf eth, N. j., May 25.-With all
the emphasis at his command. Colo

He also asserted professional politi-
clans in the past had been accustomed
to try strong arm tactics
II won't stand for It moment" he
said.
Colonel Roosevelt made these state
ments in what he called fighting
speech" at Piainfield. toward the
close of his most spectacular days
campaigning in this state. He shot
about from place to place by train
or automobile. firing off speeches in
rapid succession to throngs of people
who cheered him enthusiastically.
Leaving Trenton early this morning
he cut across the state to number
of coast resorts and then worked his
way toward New York. making his
last address in Elizabeth this even
ing.
After speaking here he started for
oyster Bay, to remain over sunday

fully elected by the people and put

a national committee that really rep

For example. we have threshed the

siders extravagant expenditures, and
II a bill OF the sort that 1t has gen.
orally been believed the house will

win in all probability bid the county
officers to go back home and work

With the session nearly over, repub-
lican politicians here are just begin
ming to wake up to a realization of the
fact that a democratic governor has
sat in the game of politics with them
end licked 'em to a fraZzle." With
a legislature both branches of which
We're opposed to him politically. he
has been able to take care of himself
and his friends with consummate skill,
and while he has not been able to
put through any affirmative legislation
of bis own choosing, he has seen to 1t
that conditions would so shape them
selves that he would not be manacled
when it came to preventing any Leg
islation that did not meet with his ap-
proval.
There is no doubt that the unseating
of Abelino Romero was part OF pro-
gram by the republican leaders to gain
control of the legislature by a two
thirds majority. At that time II was
believed that the differences between
the house republicans would be recon-
ciled, in which event nothing would
have been easier than to have elm
mated sufficient number of demo-
Gratis in the house, via the Abelino
Romero route, to gain a two-thirds
majority in that body. Legislation
could then have been dictated from
room SO in the Palace hotel, and the
governor could have vetoed to his
hearts content without doing any
harm to the plans of the gentlemen
who are wont to foregather in that
room.
The senate part of the program
worked like a charm, but putting it
over in the house proved to be far
different proposition. In the various
moves which blocked the game for
the organization republicans nothing
has been heard of the canny Scot in
the governors office, but those who
have been in a position to analyze the
situation have been able to trace his
handiwork in practically everything
that has been done.
In holding togetner the comDinatlOn
of democrats and insurgent republic
cans 1t is Governor Mcdonald who has
done the inconspicuous but effective
work. and when squalls seemed to be-
looming ahead for the combination
and inroads were apparently being
made on it's strength, it was Cover
nor Mcdonald who tightened up the
democratic screws of the machine and
saved 1t from going to pieces.
The result has been really better
than If the majority of the house had
been democratic. Governor McDon-
aids vetoes are absolutely protected
and the democratic members have
been able practically to dictate legis-
lation in the house without being held
responsible for whatever blunders the
house may make.
