Oyster Bay, Juno 17.-Leaving George
W. Perkins in charge OF the peace ne
ROTATIONS between the Progressives
and the Republicans, Colonel Roosevelt
motored from New York to Sycamore
Hill to-day. On his arrival he began
work in his library just as though there
were no such thing known to the medi-
cal world as pleurisy.
Mr.. Perkins Is authority for the state
ment that these negotiations looking
toward peace are developing satisfac-
torily.
There are" said he, when pressed
by the reporters who awaited the Colo
nels departure from the Langdon, "a
number of conferences under way.
Nothing definite can be said at this
time. but | believe they are proceeding
in . very friendly manner and most
satisfactorily"
To the successful termination Of the
peace negotiations there are two con-
siderable obstacles-one the irreconcil-
ables among the Progressives, the other
that element among the Republicans
which insists that the Progressives
must come back in sscxcloth and ashes,
il at ell, and that nothing short OF
binding the Colonel 10 the chariot
wheels Of the "old guard" will be CON
sidered.
Crane a Friend Of Roosevelt.
The irreconcilable element in DC
Progressive group Of leaders is gradu-
ally growing weaker. This is in the
main due to the efforts of the Colonel
and to the opposition OF Perkins to
the rule-or-ruin policy. On the other
hand, ex-senator W. Murray Crane
most powerful of the "old guard" lead
ers, has no patience with those who
would unduly humilate the Progress
sives or Insist on Colonel Roosevelt
taking q rearmost seat on the mourn
ers' bench for all time.
Crane, say those who have talked
with him, realizes that the one question
before the house is the defeat of Will
son and Wilson policies; that TO solve
this is not going to be the easy task
some Of the New York leaders consider
it, and that Roosevelt is too big ar

asset lightly 10 be buried In the politi,.
cal potters' fcld-if IL were assumed
that this could be done. At no time
since 1912 has Crane spoken other thsn
in a kindly manner Of the Colonel, Tor
whom he has at all times expressed re-
spect az n man, and II he can have mis-
way Roosevelt will be asked to have
seat at tho head Of the table.
Others OF the "old guard" take this
same view, looking forward 10 posi-
BILE time In the fall when the campaign
NAV reach critical stage, and pinch
hitter will be needed. They realize that
there Ia no other man in America, who,
in such an emergency, could rouse the
country as Roosevelt could. and they
would like to be in position TO send
him TO bat.
They have no assurances that tho
Colonel will take the stump for Justice
Hughes, but they have hopes that II
the present situation Is handled prop
erly they may be in a position TO ex-
tend call that he would not refuse.
Anxious for Future OF Party.
One thing that bothers the Progress
sives is the future of their party. Some
Of those who are inclined TO listen TO
the voice OIL fchbOn anu hppIOHo VI
Hughes fear that this will mean the
death OF the party. The shrewder po-
litical observers are inclined to hold
this view. and declare that the plan TO
keep the national committee alive and
the New York headquarters open until
after election at least will not prevent
this result.
Raymond Robins, who presided at tho
Chicago convention and who was one
of the Colonel's visitors in New York
to-day, is one of those who would keep
the party alive at all costs. Hiram
Johnson, of California, who also saw
the Colonel, is Of this opinion, too, but
it is thought that even these men will
fall into line with tho majority Of the
national committee, who, it is thought.
will follow the ColonePs will at its
meeting June 20, and in one way or an
other approve Of the Endorsement OF
Hughes by him.
On these negotiations the Colonel Is
silent He talked with none Of the re-
porters in New York to-day, and this
evening sent out word from his desk at
Sycamore Hill that he had nothing to
say. A query as to how he felt brought
the response through red-cheeked
Irish maiden that he was "all right"

Colonel Hayward was assistant seere-

Two factors have worked against Mr..
hitchcock steadily. One was his old

rspudiation at Chicago. after he said
that if nominated Mr.. Hughes would
accept.
Experience a Factor.
What has worked largely in Colonel
Eavward's favor has been his expert
enee in managing political campaigns
and his joining hands with Governor
Whitman. Frederick c. Tanner, New
York State chairman, and others who
made the successful hght against Will
lam Barnes.
Mr.. Hughes may spend part OF the
summer at the home Of his brother
in-law, DR.. Collin Carter. at Bridge
hampton, Long Island. He spent a
summer four years ago at the Long
Island village. and its accessibility to
New York City appeals 10 him. An
other attraction is its golf course.
Should Mr.. Hughes go 70 Bridge

remain there longer than q fortnight.
He prefers the mountains to the sea-
shore. When he returns tomorrow

his job of amputating whiskers and
will hereafter be connected with the
Loyal Order Of Moose in an official
capacity. He has been appointed Ma

quarters at Topeka. His business
will be to start new lodges where the
order is not yet represented, and iron
out the difficulties of the lodges now
running should any ever arise during
his term of Office. Dan was elected
dictator of the local lodge when it
was organized, and we understand he
has filed the position with dignity
and grace. He is a prince among
men and hard worker for the up
building of the Moose, hence the
high moguls of the institution used
mighty good judgment when they
picked him for the job. His first job
will be at Garden City, where he
hopes to build up a banner lodge as

The Gleam., 1916-12-17

The appointment OI William -I1OlZ- heimer as Assistant U. s. District Attorney to succeed D. Noll, at Ket- ehikan, is singularly, almost poet ically appropriate.
 Coming as it does from the little bunch of expatriated Seattleites who are running the Democratic politics of Southeastern Alaska, something of the kind has been foreseen for some months.
 Having failed in Idaho, having failed in Seattle, his aggressiYely offensive personality was deemed just the force needed by the politi cal clique whose centers are in the Court House, and in the office of the Empire. So about a year ago they brought him to Juneau Before he was legal voter he was a dele gate to the 4hand-pieked' convention of last May. By skillful advertising, he so pushed himself into public notice that he got the profitable handling of the funds of the Lii quor Dealers Association last fall for campaign purposes. He became so active in Democratic politics as to pull off at least one fight and several near-fights.
 As a reward for these valuable ser vices, he was slated for the position of Mir Reagan, but the W. c. T. U. protested, and MT. Smiser was not as emendab1e to suggestions as he should have been.
 But Mr. Holzheimer was unable to earn living from his Lucrative practice" and the machine just had to do something for him. So MT. Noll's sudden departure for parts unknown came as double God-send. 1t at once relieved ] situation grown somewhat tense, and made an opening for MT. Holtzheimer at the public crib. Mir, smise1 a5 2 good party man did not prove untraetable to the demands made upon him, and it is on1y just to him to assume that he knows as little of the true inwardness of the move, as he did why Mr. Noll was given to him as an inheritance He may be wiser after while.
 In the meantime, The Clean ex- tends congratulations to everybody except the public. We congratulate MT. Holzheimer especially on the good stuff he succeeded in getting
