y FIGHT ROOSEVELT
Seeks Revenge for Being Displaced
from the New York State
Craftsmanship.

Albany, n. Y. Feb. 1s.-Benj. B. Odell.
jr., is coming back into politics, IL only
long enough TO make sure that Theodore
Roosevelt is not the Republican candi-
date for the Presidency. He purposes
to resume his seat as a member OF the
State committee at the Rochester con-
vention in April, and go as a Taft dele
gate to the national convention at Chi
cago in June.
In seeking TO return to the political
arena. Odell hopes to secure his revenge
upon Roosevelt for driving him out Of
the Craftsmanship OF the State commit
tee in 1876, and thus completing his down
fall as the Republican machine boss.
II will be recalled that Roosevelt, then
President, forced the nomination OF
Charles E. Hughes for governor. threw
Odell out OF the State chairmanship and
put Timothy l.. Woodruff in his place.
This ended Odelrs career as chief OF
the machine and put Roosevelt in alb
solute control. OdelI sought to rehabIli-
tate himself in 1905. but failed.
II is understood that the psychic mo-
ment will reveal his version OF the cir
cumstances under which the late Z. II.
Hartman raised the $4,000 campaign
contribution to insure Roosevelt's cleo
ton to the Presidency in 1904. He is
not expected, however. to make It public
until he has actually been restored to
his seat on the Republican State COM
mittee and clinched his credentials as
a Taft delegate to Chicago.

WILL TRY COERCION.
Republicans Take First Step to
Bring Up Wool Revision.

The first move on the part OF the Re
publicans to force the Democrats to take
UP and revise the woolen schedule of the
tariff law. in accordance with the recon-
mendation Of the tariff board, was made
in the Senate yesterday. Senator Nc
Cumber, of North Dakota. offered a con-
current resolution. in which was recited
the alleged inequalities OF the wooden
schedule and the fact that a nonpartisan
tariff board had investigated carefully
the whole subject and reached certain
conclusions submitted in its report.
The McCumber resolution then declares
it is the sense OF this Congress that Con-
gTess should Immediately proceed to the
consideration OF a bill to effect a revI-
sion of the woolen schedule of the tariff
law, to the end that II any Inequalities
exist they may be corrected. The reso-
luton was referred to the Committee on
Finance.

.INSURGENT LEADER
RETURNS TO FOLD
Representative Hayes, Of California,
Denounees Reformers and
Eulogizes Taft.

Representative Hayes, Of. California,
who was one OF the insurgent leaders
against Speaker Cannon and the Republi-
can organization in the closing days Of
the last Congress, has repented and Is
back again in the fold.
In a speech in the House yesterday he
asserted that ''the wild propagandists Of
unrest and discomfort, furious declaimers
against the entire existing order, preach
ers of destruction. who proposed no sub
stitute, general aspersers Of the character
of our public men, and dealers in sweep
ing congratulations and denunciation Of
everybody and everything except their
own fads and faddists, are not safe lead
ers at this time"
Prolonged applause from the Republi-
can side greeted Mr.. Hayes declaration
that he had no words to express his con-
tempt ''for the political methods pursued
by some against the present occupant Of
the White House.
He expressed sorrow that he had been
unable always to agree with Mr.. Taft's
policies. "But recognize" he said, that
never have we had President more pa
triotic, more courageous, more honest in
purpose than the present Chief Execu-

ROOSEVELT BUSY
WRITING LETTERS
Campaign Correspondence Is Heavy
and Gov. Johnson Says
He Will Run.

oyster Bay. n. Y. Feb. I9.-Col. Roose-
relt devoted a considerable part OF to-
day TO debating letters and kilograms to
his political emissaries concerning the
recent developments in his ante-eonyen-
tion campaign. He wore a luminous
smile as he appeared in the village dur
ing the day and looked in ''fit shape" to
90 into another fight.
Gov. Hiram W. johnson, OF California,
one OF the erstwhile supporters of La
Toilette for the Presidency, switched to
Roosevelt to-day. He made public a
formal statement, winding up as fol-
ows:
"Clear-cut, therefore, is the situation.
Shall the people rule, and shall Roose-
Republicans court certain defeat by the
nomination of one whose trusteeship has
wrecked the party?
We of the West, with our confidence
snd trust in those who compose this gov
ernment and the principles upon which
II was founded. are in this national
struggle for Mr.. Roosevelt and the pro-
gressive policies he represents"
Gov. johnson was asked whether Mr..
Roosevelt knew that he was issuing a
statement.
He probably inferred it. You may say
that he knew inferentially." was the gov
srnor's reply.
Then the old, old question was popped:
''wIn the colonel be a candidate%'
Il feel sure that he WILL" said Gov
johnson.
Your statement, in a nutshell, is that
the California progressives have switch
I'd from La Toilette to Roosevelt?''
That's It," said Gov. Johnson.

National Committeeman Capers Ap-
peals for Support of the
Regular Organization.

There are two Republican executive
committees in Eouth Carolina. and Mr..
John c. Capers, the national committee
man for the State. has issued a letter
from this city urging South Carolina Re
publicans to pay no attention to the call
issued by what is cFSImed to be an ex-
ecutive committee. Of which J. W. Toll
bert is recorded as chairman. and which
seems to be moved IN its actions by the
three officeholdGrs. Postmaster Harris,
United States Marshal Adams and Dis
trict Attorney Cochran. who operate, no
doubt, by orders directly from the Post
ONCE Department in Washington, not
from the White House"
Mr.. Capers says of the ToIbert or
ganization that of the twenty-five mem
bers of their State committee. twenty
two Of them are colored men and three
Of them white men. or the seven Con-
gressional districts in the State, six Of
the Congressional chaiFnien are colored
men and one a W white man, r. r. Tolbert
or the forty-three counties in the State
forty-two county chairmen are colored
men and one county chairman a white
man. r. r. Tolbert."
The letter concludes as follows:
Are the colored men in the State, who
really represent devoted interest to the
Republican party in the nation at large,
going to allow themselves to be led in
solid black phalanN in this way for the
sole purpose OF carrying on their should
ers a few white officeholders headed for
the pie counter? / think not. 1 hope
you will urge every man in your county
and district to ignore the Tolbert call
wait for the call for a meeting of the
executive committee OF the Blalock or
ganization, which has been recognized
by the national organization, and which
will meet in March and call a convention
for April, and also suspend any action

SCHEDULE A TAKEN
UP BY The HOUSE
Chemical Revision Takes Up Big
Part Of Day-Longworth
Causes Laugh.

The Democratic bill revising this
chemical schedule-Schedule A of the
Payne-Aldrich law-was under considera-
ton by the House Of Representatives
yesterday. Chairman Underwood. OF the
Ways and Means Committee, hopes It
will be passed to-day.
Representative Francis Burton Har-
rison, Of New York, made the opening
speech on the schedule, and defended It
from start to finish. The Republicans
made a general attack. Mr.. Harrison
insisted that although the revision bin
imposed duties on many articles that are
now on the free list, that these articles
are now under the control Of commercial
combinations owning valuable patents.
and that the tarin proposed to be I'M
posed will not change in the slightest the
price charged to consumers for the
articles in question.
Representative Mann, OF Illinois, the
minority leader, made a speech on the
bill which was enthusiastically appIauded
by the Democratic side. Representative
Longworth, OF Ohio. followed suit He
insisted that the Democratic party by
accepting a report from the tariff board
and in adopting specific instead Of ad
vaIorem duties upon chemical products.
had reversed itself on the tarifr problem.
Mr.. Mann aroused considerable amuse-
ment when he charged the Democratic
party with removing the duty from red
pepper. which he described as table
luxury" and imposing II on black pep
per. which he insisted was household
necessity" Under the present tarii law
black pepper is on the free list.
Perhaps" said Representative Long
worth. the Democrats used what Is
technically called "a wheel and the lit
tie ball fell into the black instead Of into
the red"
Il am inclined to believe" returned
Mr.. Mann, that in this case the same
care was exercised which attempted on
q previous occasion to amend a section
OF the tariff law which did not exist"
1T looks 10 me like a dictograph," in
terjected Uncle Joe" Cannon.
Just before adjournment, Majority
Leader underwood secured a unanimous
consent agreement that general debate
on the bill should continue for only one
hour to-day, and that then the reading
Of the bill under the five-minute rule
should be begun. He expects to see the
measure passed before adjournment this
evening.
Representative DalzelI. Of PennsyIvanla,
representing the Republican minority on
the Ways and Means Committee. yester-
day afternoon, Just before adjournment,
filed the minority report on the chemical
schedule. declaring that the Democratic
measure sacrifices the American market
to the foreign manufacturer.

Gov. johnson, OF California. having
declared for Roosevelt. the Taft head
quarters in this city last night gave out
a statement. showing that there would
be a large Taft rally In San Francisco

Francisco Evening Post shows IS per
cent of the voters in that city favoring
Taft. and that every poll made in Cali
fornia has shown that President Taft
not only leads his opponents, but ranks
as a to / favorite. The statement con-
tains this comment upon Gov. Johnson's
announcement:
1T is well known that Gov. johnson
has lost control OF even the faction of
the Republican party which elected him.
and his disaffection from La Toilette has
alienated many OF those who have sup
ported him in San Francisco. The state
ment OF Gov. johnson does not bear the
slightest analysis. There is no question
whatever in the minds of the Taft man.
ayers that the State will send a solid
delegation TO Chicago instructed for the
President. Not only the business men,
but the farmers and the labor unions are
strong for the President on the Pacific
Coast
Former Gov. GilIett. of California,
who was a caller at the Taft bureau
yesterday. took issue with Gov. johnson
that California would send a Roosevelt
delegation to Chicago. Mr.. Gillett has
maintained from the start that Cali
fornia's delegation would be for Taft.

Pending Roosevelt's arrival, President
Tafts friends are working with a conf
dence and enthusiasm that was lacking

enth Congressional district has just been
held here, the result OF which is the

whether Roosevelt will head the ticket.
