have been at work for weeks to pre- vent any compromise which would permit the late presidential candidate of the Progressive party to control the situation at the Republican Ma tional convention when it contenes in Chicago is admitted by leaders of the movement who are now out in the open to secure strictly antl- Roosevelt delegations from New York Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio and New England states. It is said that they were strong enough to induce Temporary Chairman E,lihu Root, at the recent Republican convention at Saratoga to omit any mention of Col Roosevelts name ill his speech. and that to accommodate the anti-RoOse- welt men, he dropped whole para graph from the speech whicl, he had prepared.
 1t is known that at the time of the Saratog convention former Senator Root attempted to lay a foundation that would permit the former Presi- dent to come back into the Eepubli- can party without humiiiating him. self and he had intended to empha- size the trend of his speech by coup ling the name of Col. Roosevelt with those of other leading Republicans who had criticized President Wilson. The paragraph om.aited by former Senator Root from lis speech was one commenting upon the "Democra- tic failure to see that power must stand behind the peaceable assertion of the United States rights" The omitted passage reads:
 "Others saw it and urged it; MT. Gardner urged it; Mir. Lodge urged it: MT. Stimson urged it; MT. Roose- welt urged it; but their arguments and urgeny were ascribed to piliti- cal motives, and the President de- scribed them with sheer as being nervous and excited"
 The anti-Roosevelt men feared the effect of the mention of Roosevelt's name in the convention. and, it is said, prevailed upon Root to drop the paragraph, an action that has caused not little comment.
 Those opposed to MT. Roosevelt's having prominent part in the coun- cils of the Republican party at Chi cago are attempting to demonstrate that prominence for him would drive out of the party moro voters than it would attract to it.

LEAGUE TO PREVENT

| SPRINGFIELD, Ill.,, March 1O.- The Anti-Roosevelt Republican Lea que, the sworn purpose of which is to oppose the nomination of Theo- dore Roosevelt as a candidate of the Republican party for President, re- ceived incorporation papers here to- day from Secretary of State Steven son.
 The incorporators are David Davis, former mayor of Litchfield, H., and former chairman of the Montgomery County Central Committee; w. E. Newsome, a member of the Mont gomery County Central committee, and A. V. Price, negro politician, How the league purposes to carry on it's campaign is told in the incor- poration papers as follows:

SAYS ROOSEVELT TALK
 IS SPREADING FAST

GOLFERS WEEKLY: The Roose- welt talk is becoming as epidemic as influenza. It seems to be the taste for red meat that follows tho long vegetarian diet. The familiar posture of the President splitting on his hands and getting ready to hit out with another ultimatum has palled. Then, too, some men on the Atlantic coast having trustees over great affairs have become alarmed. They think of the long range guns of mod ern warfare and are nervous. Instinc- lively scared men seem to come into the presence of strong men. They contemplate Roosevelt as type.
 We seem to be passing through a phase of dissatisfaction with the Will son type. The suggestion by Charles Summer Bird of the possibility of a man like Roosevelt for president and a man like Root for secretary of state has caught the American imagina tion. It visualizes an Americanism of big type needed for a grave period of international crisis.
 Whether 1t will last no one knows, but it seems to be gaining moment um. Unlike the Roosevelt movement of 1912 it did not start in the mid dle west. It began in the east, among the anti-Roosevelt men of 1912, and it is finding quite naturally a cordial welcome in the western field, which furnished so many recruits for Arm ageddon four years ago.-Henry J. Allen.

The Alaska Steamship Company's steamship Alaska, formerly the Kan sas City, arrived in port about mid night last night on her maiden trip under her new name. She left Seat tie on the first and encountered. a rather stormy trip all the way up, having been compelled to tie up sev- eral times because of terrific snow squalls in the dangerous waters of the inside passage. She was further delayed about 40 hours at Cordova unloading a large amount of freight for the new canneries to be built there, and also stopped about six hours at Ellamar, making her trip rather longer than the average.
 The Alaska has been completely remodeled at a cost of more than s125,000, along the lines of the Ala meda and Mariposa, and is one of the most commodious and comfortable steamers now in the fleet, and well worthy of the name she bears.
 The officers of the Alaska are Cap tain Nord, all old and experienced of ficer in Northern waters, having been for many years master of the Jeffer- son on the Southeastern Alaska run.
 J. A. Rasmussen, the first officer, is also an experienced navigator of these waters
 The other officers are Teddy Stew art and Joe Dodge, pilots; T. w. Spencer, chief engineer; w. H. liar ris, purser, and c. w. Edgerton steward, all of whom are well known to Alaskans. and are 8 guarantee of good service.

 When the bugle sounds the blast Do you feel within your bosom
 The echoes of the past? Are you ready, are you ready
 Your fair country to defend? To join your loyal comrades
 And battle to the end? Are you ready, are you ready
 If the call should come today? If our shores should be invaded
 And the enemy come, to slay? Are you ready, are you ready
 With your navy, shot and shell? To give the foe invading
 The answer that will tell?  Are you ready, are you ready To keep your flag unfiurled? And help to make this Nation The most glorious in the world?
