rBy Telegraph to The Tribune.

Oyster Bay, Aug. 2-On second thought
Colonel Roosevelt was unable to restrain
himself to-day from generalizing on
President Tsft's acceptance speech, de-
livered Thursday As he was swinging
President INDUCED in some side attacks
on what he termed the amusing conser-
vatism" OF the President.
The live issues-questions like the pay
ment OF the Panama Canal tolls-he has
completely ignored" said the colonel He
seems 10 have dealt principally with such
ideas as that the referendum and the re-
call do not pay wages and similar con-
sentative statements"
The new party candidate seemed to
think that the speech was fatuous. in

totally TO come up to the spirit OF the

had from him until he delivers his "con-
fession Of faith" before the convention I'm

set for Monday night. but Senator Dixon,
the campaign manager. took 1t upon him
self to postpone the long awaited state

the next day, FOR the reason that the
speech OF Senator Beveridge, the tenn
porary chairman OF the convention, might
be trine overshadowed by the speech of
the ex-President Colonel Roosevelt has
not said nay TO this arrangement, but he
has said that his speech must be deliv-
cred before the National Progressive
platform is drafted.
The reason for the colonels demand IS
that he expects to surprise some quar-
ters Of the convention by his ultra radi-
cal views and n the convention Is going
to nominate him as its candidate he
wants the platform to fit the candidate.
He said that when he was a member of
the Republican party he was obliged to
shape his utterances to conform with the
attitude of the party and with its cut
and dried platform.
The colonel announced that the Roose-
welt party IN Pennsylvania would take
the name OF the Washington party. He
laughingly explained that the Peurose
crowd" had "pre-empted" almost all the
available names, even going so far as to
remember that there was such a man az

they had forgotten that there was such

New York tomorrow evening, when, II
Is expected, the organization Of the ma
tional committee for the coming cam
raign will be perfected.
To those In touch with the situation
there is suspicion that all Is not har-
monious In the Democratic camp and
that the purpose Of the Governors visit
TO New York is to straightcn out some
knotty tangles which may have arisen
lected.
Rumblings OF friction in the Democratic
campaign committee have been plentiful
OF late. Two weeks have elapsed since
the committee was chosen, but no an
nouncement as to who will be vice-chair-
man, treasurer or chairman Of the finan-
cial committee has been forthcoming
from the committee itself.
In addition to this, number OF promi-
nent members Of the campaign commit

ernor Wilson in the last few days, among
them Robert s. Hudspeth, Joseph p
Davies, a. Mitchell Palmer Willard
Salisbury and Josephus Daniels, the last
named having come tonight as house
guest Of Governor Wilson.
The visit of these advisers 10 the Gov.
ernor Is considered significant, especially
as each one OF them came by himself and
has had a long talk with the Governor
over the organization OF the campaign.
Thus far about the only thing done BY
the campaign committee has been the or
ganization Of three committees.
