May No Longer Con
slider Himself in
the Party.

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt has sew
cred his association with the Republi-
can Club of the City Of New York. of
which he had been a member for twen;
r-seven years. In brief note, which
was received a day or two ago and OF
the existence OF which few Of the mem
bers are yet aware, the colonel said:
eI hereby tender my resignation as
member of the Republican Club.
That was all: no explanation was
offered as TO why he was taking the
action. 1t is probable, however that
the colonel was angered by the firm
stand that the club took against the
initiative and referendum and the JUDI
c,aC recall and other doctrines on when
he based his fight for renominatioh

with other clubs and get them to take
