Roosevelt man. When Woodruff returned
Ia the Congress Annex he was holding his
hands up in horror at what he termed
'the outrageous action of the National
Committee in the Texas contest"
WOODRUFF BEGINS TO FLOR.
! The Kings county delegates held a
meeting yesterday and Woodruff thought
this was a good occasion to begin switch
ing tn Roosevelt Al this meeting MIR
Woodruff referred to the Texas outrage
and began talking like Roosevelt en-
thusiast.
/ Col. Michael j. Dadv and Marcus B
Campbell two of the leading Kings county
delegates called Woodruf's : attention 10
the fact that the steam roller in Use in
Chicago was the same one that had always
iRen used on such occasions except that
there is u different, engineer and pilot.
You should remember. said Col. Dady
that ! did not yelp half dozen years
ago when the steam roller put me out oi
business as member Of the Kings county
committee when ! had a votes to the II
votes Of my opponents.
"Nou were the engineer then and yoi
thought you did fine job and took my
medicine like "A sailor. Now you should
remember that you We're chosen a dele-
gate from the Fourth district upon the
distinct understanding that you would
vote for Taft and your associate delegat
from that district. Comptroller Prender
gast was named with tho distinct under.
standing that he could vote for Roose
welt if h" desired. although | opposed
sending Prcndergasr Ilnless NJ also woulc
agree to vote for Taft"
i don't remember anv steam role,
then" said Woodruh. but that might
have been politics"
well, this is politics too retortcd Col
/ Dadv.
AMAZED At ROAST OF BARNES
There is an unusually big crowd OF
! New Workers here attending the conven-
! ton. and the one topic of discussion
to-day, aside from the regeneration Of
Woodruff. was the failure of Chairman
/ William Barnes. Jr.. to reply To the attach
made upon him last night AT the meeting
Of the New York delegation 10y Comp
troller William A. Prendergas'.
/ Prendcrgast PERHAPS was the origina
Roosevelt man in New York State IN tn.
present political campaign and Barne-
has not had any one talk so plainly Io him
IN some time. That Barnes should per
init Prcndergast personal criticisms &c
60 unans "ered was much commented ON
to-day.
Comptroller PrenderGast in entering
a protest against the election Of Ba'ne'
as New ork State member of the com
mttee on resolutions said
Il am opposed TO the election Of Mr.
Barnes 10 represent the Republican part,
Of the state Of New York on the commute.
\ i
that he IL tit man To represnt the part :
! on this important committee. The part,
owes II to itself to select as its representa-
tives those who reflect it, bes, sent imcnt :
II should have upon that committee a
man who - truly representative of Tn.
rank and file OF the party and WHOSE
views. when expressed. will receive theil
Endorsement. Mr.. Barnes is not such
man. He represents in politics the yer,
things TO which believe the best int crest
of the party are opposed.
II a TFoRMER.
During the last ten years Mr. Barne
has opposed every measure of reform tn
party has advocated During the term q
Gov. Hughes Mr.. Barnes was known fol
his unvary.ng and factious oppost ion 4
Mr.. HuGhes's administration. | do not
say that everything proposed 10y Mr.
Hughes deserved support bu, | do sd,
that his efforts to serve the public goot
were in he main Of a high order, and whe
we realize that his efforts to give the stat,
good administration were made the Oh
jcct of bitter opposition by the presen
State chairman, this in itself 10 my min
furnishes a reason why Mr. Barnes is no
a proper man 10 represent the Republi
cans Of the State and do not need to z
into many particulars
Il call your attention. however, to Mr.
Barnes > well known opposition to direc
nominations. ! also call your attentio,
to his persistent opposition to the anti
race track legislation. In each Of thes
cases the sentiment of the State was un
doubtedly behind the Governor as subse
Quent facts have proved. and still the ma
you want to now honor and select as you
representative upon the most importan
committee in this great national cam
tithesis Of everything that the forwar,
) spirit Of the party has advocated,
Il will so further than this. Polit icall
Mr. Barnes does not stand for those thing
which we believe make for good govern
ment. ] would like to ask my f-llo'
delegates from New York and Brookly
how they expect 10 enter the next grea
municipal campaign and fight the method
> of Tammany Hall as they have fougl
, them in the past if they are going to con
done. by the election Of MIR Barnes, IN
, very type Of methods that Tanman
: hall stands for
, BARNES 3 TAMMANY MRTHoDA
"Mr Barnes is the leader Of the Alban
$ county organization. He is the leade
of the party in the city of Albany,
I need not go into particulars to prove I
. YOU that the methods employed in the cit
! of Albany are not one whit better tina
p those methods which many men hav
r persistently condemned in the Tamman
= Hall.
with me those methods are no bett,
a in Albany than they are in New Iorl
|, To my mind the man who stands for thos
:, methods in Albany or New York il equal
Il reprehensible, and this is the reason
= do not believe that MIR Barnes ia a prop'
n man TO represent us. ! can see no diffe
