, LOOKS TO ROOSENEIT.-The lIeS'"'"|

Is urging his friends TO withhold thelr J"us
ment until they ascertain whether "nO'
Nv Roosevelt takes charge ol MS own
campaign. he will permit continuation u
such methods. President TAFT IS pointIhS
out that heretofore the Roosevelt campaign
had baon conducted by n number OF dnor-
rauizcd and largely irresponsible units SUD
ject to no control, and many oil the'i "o'"
ated far more by hatred Of and VinhlcI'c-
ness toward the TAFT administration 'n' "
by loyalty to tho colonel no" thal WI
Roosevelt has ayowcd his candidacy ana -
openly conferring with his licutenah'S ah"
campaign managers, IT is reasonable sup
position that he will exercise some 'oii''"
over the character OF the campaign they
conduct and the President hopes that, TOT
as a matter Of friendship for himself put

TWO FALSE REPORTS-The dellocr-
atcly promulgated report that PreSldeht i'''
had decided on James :. Sherman AS hs
running mate and that he had been iorceu
to do this through fear of Mr. Roosevelt
strength in New York is OFFICIALLY denied
The attitude of the press, not only OF New
York city, but OF the entire state. and the
intimaton of William Barnes, jr., and otnef
promuent New Workers. that Mr. Tart
would get the delegation from Mr.. Roose-
yelt's own state nave been an occasion ol
serious disappointment to the colonels $
champions. and they obviously felt that
something must be done TO offset the bad
impression which the New York situation
was creating on Congress and thfoughouI
the country Furthermore, the circulation
of the report that President 1ait hau
chosen Mr. Sherman as his running mate
might have lent some color 10 the cohleH-
zion that the sympathies OF MT Tar, were
all with the "old guard" Those who recaii
the events of the last election, however
will remember that Mr.. Taft did not choose
Mr.. Sherman as his ri.nnlnS mate mat hc
expressed his personal preference lor the
Progressive Senator from Iowa the lale
Mr. DoIlivcr and that t was the intimate
of President Roosevelt, Lucius y. Llttauer'
who promoted and secured the nomination
of Mr.. Sherman. In an apparent effort 10
holster I'D the purely fictitious charge that
this administration has been hostile to Dr-
Wiley the report was put ont last night
,bat Dr Wiley felt compelled to resign, etc''
ali ~ which was emphatcally denied by
Secretary Wilson and Or. Wiley to-day
CAREY'S MISTAKE.-After hesitating
for several days, Governor Carey OF
wyoming. who was elected to his present
office by A coalition Of Democrats ana he-
nubIicans. his name appearing on both
tickots has declared himself heartily in
f,yor ~ tho denomination OF Colonel Roose-
volt simultaneously there come from
Wvoming however, reports TO the eHcct
that many of Governor Carey ftlendS
regard his course az grave pohucdi
blnnder Il is 50 regarded because IL Is
,.ooocuizod that the reelection of Colonel
Roosevelt would restore the regime or Glt-
ford Pinchot probably as mehiper vi inc
Roosevelt Cabinet, and there IS no man 80
little liked in Wyoming as the FORMER
forester. Through Pinchots admlnlstra-
,iop of the Bureau OF Forestry and the
Denart,nent of the Interior. the latter eN-
orcisea nv means Of his influence over Sec
rot,rv Garfield. the development of Wyo-
ming WAS brought practically TO stand
still. and only under the wise adnfnlStra-
tion Of Secretary Fisher have normal con-
oitions been practically restored.
