CRITICISES ROOSEVELT
State Department officer Tells
Why His Friendship Cooled.
by Cable 10 The Tribune. |

London, June 1.-Frederick Van Dyne,
one of the solicitors of the Department
OF state. who is sailing to-day for Rio
de Janeiro, says that in his opinion II
looks as If Theodore Roosevelt, If not
nominated at Chicago, will bolt the con-
vention and head an independent party.
He seems to have proved himself the
shrewdest politician in America" said
Mr.. Van Dyne. six months ago no one
thought he could get enough votes to
make a decent showing in the conven-
ton. He recognized the psychological
moment at which to enter the field. II
nominated at Chicago | think he will be
elected. He has remarkable faculty
Of winning the people, as is shown by the
votes in the primaries.
II have long been an ardent admirer
OF Mr.. Roosevelt. but | do not believe o.
should have become n candidate for the
nomination after his declaration never
TO run again. When 1t was first SAL
that he was a candidate | could not be-
lieve the statement over his own sigma
ture His candidacy for the nomination
has turned me and many others amonS
his friends and admirers of years against
him.
II was much afraid at first when he
talked about the recall Of judicial de-
cisions. but on further examination /
saw il meant nothing. In fact. much Of
what he says means nothing. 1t is not
what he says that has changed my
friendship for him. but what he has done
in entering the race for the nomination
after distinctly saying he would not do
So"
Mr.. Van Dyne is one Of tho two Amer
lean delegates at the International Com
mission of Jurists to codify the interna-
tional law Of the countries of America.
The work Of the commission is entirely
legal and non political. no attempt being
meditated To regulate the Central Ameri-
can countries or TO bring revolutions to
an end
Some new laws will he adopted and
some Of the present laws modified to fit
American countries. It Is believed that
the result Of the commissions labors will
be the creation Of a tribunal similar to
that Of The Hague. TO deal solely with
questions concerning America. All
American countries have an equal voice
on the commission. /. e.. two delegates
