HAS BROKEN BARNES

Oyster Bay. Aug. sI.-CoIoneI
Roosevelt believes that ne Is respon-
sible for the retirement of William
Barnes as Republican State chairman.
The colonel Is confident that II has
been his continued battling against
Barnes, which has caused the latter
TO decide not to be a candidate again
for his post with the Republican party.
The colonel had nothing To say
directly today when word came to
him that Barnes was going to get
out. II have no comment to make"
was all Colonel Roosevelt would say.
Colonel Roosevelt had guided the
Progressive party all along in an ef-
fort to break Barnes. HIS most re-
cent coup to demolish the Republican
machine was the selection Of Harvey
D. Human as the Progressive candi-
date for governor. and the unsuccess-
ful attempt to force Human on to
the Bull Moose party.
Colonel Roosevelt said that he ex-
pected- to do no pre-pr1mary cam
paigning In this State for the Pro-
gressive ticket. He intends to go on
a speech making tour of the Sort h
and West in September. and 10 begin
his active fighting for the Bull Moose
candidates In New York as soon ms
the primaries are over.

to Its notice authority, tgt~s The risk
OF the disconttnuance al the business
being 1t any time requ.fcs
There are suggestions offered In an
swsr to the plain and direct argument
OF the prohibitionists which indicate
that some Of the opposition have aban-
doned the .'caln and-daspassionats" at
titude proclaimed at the initial meeting
at Richmond. and are getting 80 excited
as to stand In danger OF being them
selves classed as fanatics. For instance.
nothing was heard about tobacco at the
Richmond meeting which launched the
anti-prohibition Campaign. There was
not a word about tobacco In the de-
liberateiy framed and adopted platform
or In the able and elaborate speeches.
The Tohacee Canssd.
The Richmond meeting had become
a memory, when suddenly and loudly
1t was trumpeted that those who favor
prohibition are bent on crusade
against tobacco, as well as against
liquor. This IL an obvious after
thought, Significant OF the growing ex
citement Of the opposition, which will
cause no fright in Virginia. just as 1t
causes none in North Carolina. where
tobacco 10 raised. manufactured and
sofa IN great quantities.. IT does nor
take many words to make the charge,
but I can discover no proof of its cor
rectness. 1 have yet to hear a single
advocate of prohibition advise or coun-
tenance an attack on tobacco. A noted
Scotchman has described ~ the unve-
racities' those decisions which present
an appearance of truth to men who
are under an abnormal mental strain
Perhaps this is gdod term to apply
to the tobacco charge, and also to the
charge that the petitions on which the
governor based his call for an election
are tainted with fraud. and also to the
charge that the country postmasters
are not handing out the literature
which Is being circulated from Rich
mond. All OF US in Northern Vir-
ginia can testify. on behalf of the post
masters. that We are being deluged
with the itterature--heavy headlines;
boldly printed text; more or less i'm
pressive pictures of distinguished gem
tlemen: everything that can serve to
arouse an imm ediate. If not enduring
interest The rather absurd sugges-
ton In regard to the bona f1des OF the
petitions may safely be laid out of
view until after the election. when
the number Of those who vote for pro-
hibition Will furnish fairly satisfactory
evidence on that point.

.DR. BRACKET SICK, NOT TOLD OF FATHERS DEATH Attending Physicians and Friends Keep Bad News
 From Him.

Because of his serious illness, pr. w. w. Bracket of this city was not informed today when news arrived that his father, F. A. Bracket, prin- cipal of the Northeast school in Hart ford, had died in Bristol. Dr. Brack- cit is ill with typhoid and his attend ing physicians and friends believed it would be wise not to permit him to know of his fathers demise.
 Dr. Brackets father died at the home of Dr. A. S. Bracket, brother of the local physician. His illness was of short duration. He arrived at the home of his son in Bristol on Monday and was taken i'll with heart trouble. On Sunday he observed his seventy-second birthday and there was g. family gathering at his home, AZ Clark street, Hartford.
 MT. Bracket had been the head of the Northeast school for twenty-seven years and before that was principal of the South Side school in Bristol. His widow and three sons survive. Rev. Vim. c. Prentiss of New Haven is a son-in-law.
 It was stated today that while Dr. Brackets condition was not consid- cred se>sous there had Dsen no change for the better.
