NO ROUGH TACTICS.

1t is natural that in this political campaign of
exceeding strenuosity, there should be all sorts
of rumors aioat Colonel Roosevet's facts have
been murderous to all party affiliations, so
domineerng, so reckless of all other claims
interests that those of his own personality, that
it is not surprising to in the dispatches the
most startling SUGGESTIONS to what his plans are
with respect to the coming national Republican
convention. 1t is even suggested that he himself
will be the ground with a trained band of
athletes and cowboy toughs to ride roughshod
the convention and to enforce his will upon
that body in spite of the admitted majority
against him This of course is incredible,
though the fight will be desperate
The initial moves were made yesterday morn
ing when the national committee assembled.
First, there effort made to Dust the
regular members of the committee before they
had the opportunity to perform the functions del
egated to them by the last Republican national
convention. 1t is stated that the Roosevelt in
terests will not wait until the ratification by
the national convention of the presented
by the states for national committeeman, has
been the universal practice in the past but will
insist that the state nominations make the nation
al committeeman without regard TO the conven-
ton action by way of ratification The sophistry
of this is evident the face of IT, for it re-
quires ratification by the national convention for
any act whatever, to constitute it the act of the
national party or to give il national scope
has been to present the names of the committee
men in the convention itself after the nominations
for president and vice president have been made,
it will be seen that the Roosevelt programme in
this is revolutionary. 1t is not only that but it
deprives the party Of having any real national
committee at all for If the action of the states
alone is to govern. these states change the
committeeman at amy time they choose, and there
will be no tenure of Office for the national com
mitteemen as has heretofore been the case if this
change is to be made without any authority from
the national convention. and to forestal ITS
action
The next the program will be the at

Root for temporary chairman at the convention
