John Jacob Rogers, Of Massachusetts,,
to-day sent TO Secretary Lansing the
following letters
'In @ statement given 20 the press on
Saturday last and described as official
the view is set forth that the President
has the power to commit this country
70 the abandonment Of our historic
policy Of isolation from entangling al.

any one. even Of the Senate. The state
ment further indicates however, that
the Presidents present plans contem-
plate treaty alliances with foreign ma
lions and that these treaties would re-
quire the consent Of the Senate.
"As a member of the Committee on
Foreign Affairs Of the House of Repre-

WHITMAN ASKS
TANNER TO STAY
Governor Ready to Drop
Paid State Manager Idea
for q. o. p.

The suggestion Of paid manager
with the nominal title Of Republican
State Chairman has become 30 unpop-
ular among state leaders that Govern
or WhiuFan and his friends are now
trying tUfnd way to relinquish the
idea wifi good grace. It is understood
that strong pressure ia being brought
20 bear upon State Chairman Frederick
c. Tanner 20 reconsider his determina-
tion TO resign.
George ". Aldrdge, of Rochester.
and other leaders who fostered the
idea Of paid chairman are said now
to favor the retention Of Mr.. Tanner
es the best solution Of difficult prob
lem.
Chairman Tanner conferred with
Governor Whitman in Albany during
the Christmas holidays, and the latter
is understood 20 have asked him 20
retain the Craftsmanship without pay"
The term for which Mr.. Tanner was
elected does not expire until a year
from next October, which would bring
him into the midst of another state
campaign. IL is no secret among tho
Governors friends that he is ambitious
for third nomination and would want
z man of his own choice at the head
of the state committee for the 1913
campaign.
For that reason. il Mr.. Tanner is
persuaded 20 remain through his term
Of office. the politicians see the burylng
of the Ratchet by the Governor and the
State Chairman, who differed widely on
organization matters during tho re-
cent campaign.
Nj Tanner declared yesterday that
il was still his intention TO present his
formal resignation 70 the state com
mittee at the meeting which probably
will be held next week. He is anxious
to withdraw as chairman for business
reasons alone. At the same time, ne IS
not in favor Of paid chairman.
The change of chairmanship is a dlt-
fcult problem 70 solve. The impress
sion prevails that a paid chairman
would merely be the publicity man for
Governor Whitman's future ambitions
and that makes IL difficult 70 interest
a high type Of man in the office. 1t IA
said that the Governor has been I'M
able to find any one who really wants
the place on those conditions.
II is expected that a series OF con
ferences will be held by state leaders
during the next few days with view 70
preparedness for the coming meeting OF
tho state committee. The matter ls
said to be in such an unsettled state az
the present time that the hope OF
the leaders lies almost entirely IN
sacrifice" on Chairman Tanners part
