T. R..ROOT ALLIANCE
AGITATES OLD GUARD
ROOsevclt's Subtle stroke for
q. o. =. Nomination
Causes Alarm.
BARNES KEEPS SILENT

That the conference at the home Of
Robert Bacon OF Friday. in which Col.
Theodore Roosevelt. Elihu Root. Senator
Lodge. Major-Gen. Wood and Mr.. Bacon
participated. will have a profound effect
upon politics during the now few re-
naming weeks before the Republican
and Progressive national conventions are
held In Chicago Is the impression of
leaders in both parties.
News that such a meeting had taken
place fairly swept old guard leaders of
their feet. They have felt for some
time that II was only a question Of days
when the Colonel would AXE some ac-
ton that would stamp upon the minds

Elihu Root has been the choice of the
big men OF the party for the Presidential
nomination. The nature of the problems
OF foreign policy sure 10 arise in the
next four years has directed party eyes
to him as the one available man. Even
the defeat of Mr.. Roots constitution
for New York State was pushed aside as
OF no significance OF his standing with
the country at large as a great au-
thority on International law. II Is
known that his speech before the Rcpuh.
