America" At the finish ex-senator
and Mrs. Root entered the hall to-
gether. Applause greeted them as they
mounted to the platform and cook
their seats.
Prayer was offered by the Rev. Peter
Albert Macdonald, pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church Of Saratoga, who
asked Divine favor for both President
Wilson and Governor Whitman. Chair
man Glynn named Mr. Fassett as tenn
porary chairman, and the latter was
escorted to the platform by Lieutenant
Governor Edward Schoeneck. Mrs. Ed
VINE Banforth, of Rochester, and DR.
Nicholas Murray Butler, of New York
In his speech Mr.. Fassett made strong
plea Tor party unity. He urged the
convention to adjure all petty politics
ana lndorsed IN unqualified terms the
war record of Governor Charles &
" hltman, whose administration he de-
clared had been "clean, efficient and
utterly without scandal"
There Is such great work" said Mr.
faSsett, Tor great party to do in

have any right to let small policies or
personal desires or preferences stand

shades of differing opinion to bury their
non-essentials and to come solidly to-
Eether Tor service to our common coun-
try and to the world
I'VE meet as Republicans, members
of the majority party in the state and
the minority party in the United States.
But we are far more than Republicans:
we are Americans, believing in our
country first and loving our partv be-
cause we believe it is the best means
whereby the interests of the country
may be served
This is a war of no man and no
set OF men. 1t is wider than our own
country. 1t will demand our best and
highest efforts. We should unite and
not divide We should selflessly con-
aecrate our highest powers
Colonel Roosevelt arrived in town
with M. and Mrs. Theodore DOUGLAS
Robinson shortly after o'clock after
a motor trip from Albany to Saratoga.
Save for a few intimate friends. who
were on the watch for him, none of the
delegates knew of his presence. He

which it is associated; housing and
living conditions must be favorable; ef-
fort must be made to sec that the work
is interesting; there must be insurance
against old age, sickness and involun
tary unemployment; and share in the
money reward for increased business
success, whether it comes from eff
cheney shown in speeding up or from
labor saving machinery, or from any
other cause.
''And on the other side there must be
no restriction Of output, no lcvelling
down, no failure by the man to exert
his full powers. and to receive the full
reward to which his individual excel
lence entities him; and no failure to
recognize that unless there is a proper
reward for the capital invested and for
the management provided. absolute in
dustrial disaster will result to every
human being in this country.
"Thc welfare of the farmer stands as
the bedrock welfare Of the entire COM
monwealth. Hitherto he has not re-
ceived the full share Of industrial re-
ward and benefit to which he is en-
titled. He can receive it only as the
result Of organization and cooperation.
Along certain lines the government
must itself cooperate with him; but
normally most can be accomplished by
cooperation among tne farmers tneln-
selves, in marketing their products, in
buying certain things which they par
tcularly need, and in joint action along
many lines.
"The state can wisely supplement
such work of cooperation, but most of
such work it cannot with wisdom itself
undertake.
"These, in brief outline, are the tasks
of rebuilding and upbuilding which are
before us when peace comes. But the
prime needs now are the needs of war
We must insist that this whole country
be unified, nntionalzed. Americanized,
and that no division of our American
loyalty and American citizenship along
the lines of national origin or of ad-
hcrcnce to an alien flag be for one in
stant tolerated.
"We must insist upon speeding up
the war so that our giant strength may
be fully utilized, and next year our
armies overseas at least equal in the
aggregate to the German armies. We
must refuse any peace except the peace
of overwhelming victory, peace which
will guarantee us against the threat Of
the German world dominion by securing
to every well-b behaved civilized power
its real and complete freedom
New-York tribune., 1918-07-19

our aim should be cooperation among
ourselves and control by the state to
the degree necessary. but not beyond
the degree necessary. in order to pre-
vent tyranny and yet 20 encourage acd
reward individual excellence. business
men should be permitted to cooperate
and combine, subject to such regula-
tion and control by the government as
will prevent injustice and sharp dealing
among themselves or toward their en-
ployes, or as regards outsiders and the
general public. There should be no
penalizing Of business merely because
of its size; although. of course, there is
peculiar need Of supervision Of big
/ business.
Government ownership should be
avoided wherever possible; our purpose
should be to steer between the anarchy
of unregulated individualsm and the
deadening Journalism and incfficiency OF
widespread state ownership. From time
to time it has been found and will be
found necessary for the government to
own and run certain businesses, the un-
interrupted prosecution of which is nee
essary to the public welfare and which
cannot be adequately controlled in any
other way, but normally this is as in
advisable as to permit such business
concerns to be free from all govern
"Normally, and save where the ne
cessity is clearly shown, our aim should
be to encourage and stimulate private
action and cooperation subject to gov
crnmental control. Profiteering out
of the war should be stopped; but it is
mere common sense to say that proper
profit making should be encouraged, for
unless there is profit the business
cannot run, labor cannot be paid and
neither the public nor the government
can be served. And the misery in which
this country was plunged before our
business was artihcially stimulated by
the outbreak Of the world war shows
the need Of a protective tariff.
Labor likewise should have full right
to cooperate and combine, full right to
collective bargaining and collective ac-
tion; subject always, as in the case Of
capital, to the paramount general in
terest of the public. of the common
wealth; and the prime feature of this
param cunt general interest is that each
man shall do justice and shall receive
justice.
thereafter in a very real sense labor
should be treated, both as regards con-
ditions of work and conditions Of re-
ward, as a partner in the enterprises in

War Requires Loyal Republicans in
House and Senate Declares Root

Former United States Senator ENhu
Root spoke as follows;
Wherever danger from disloyal
votes does not threaten we should
strive vigorously to elect Republicans
to the Senate and the House OF Repre-
scntativcs.

Qarcs loyal Republicans in Congress.
40 government can afford to go on
without tho tests and criticisms of
policy and performance which hardly
can be furnished during the continu-
ance Of this war except, by putting Re
puhhcans III Congress. With the
tremendous power which the eXigcncies S
of war have vested in the executive
branch of government it is very diff
cult for Legislative members of the
party in power TO express, or indeed to
form. independent judgment and to
subject measures proposed for legisla-
ton to the process of correction and
Improvement by discussion and amend
meut, yet, without this. terrible mis-
takes are certain to be made.
"A study of recent legislation will
show that the independent support of
the Republicans in the Senate and in
the House, given to every forward step
War, not because Z party leader told
them to give it, but because their 10y
atty and Judgment constrained them to
give 1T, has been of the highest value.
No nation can dispense with the kind
Of independent and fearless service
which was rendered by Augustus Gard
ner. of Massachusetts, when he led the
feht for preparedness, and by Julius
Kahn, Of California, when he led the
House OF Representative in the pas
sage Of the selectvc draft act.
1T is a moderate statement that a
large part of the Democrats who exer-
else power in Washington are not very
familiar with the vast and complicated d
industry and commerce and finance
which underlie the taxpaying power of
the United States. Nor are they very
sympathetic with the men who are en-
gagged In that industry and commerce
and finance. There are some men
among them who seem to feel that an
clement Of punishment properly may
be included in taxation.
THAT IS dangerous in the highest
degree. Taxation should be absolutely
controlled by the purpose TO raise the
necessary revenue and preserve the
sources of revenue by fair distribution
Of the burden. and unless there is in
dependence and courage TO insist upon
this principle, we are liable 70 be ham
pered IN the war by sharp decline in
our power TO raise money.

Republicans to Washington, arising

Anti Whitman Forces Fail in
Plan to Stampede Convention
Attorney General Lewis Then Wires Colonel Roosevelt
Offering to Recall His Petitions if Teddy
Will Run for Governor

SARATOGA, N. Y, July 1s.-Attor-
ney General Merton f. Lewis late to-
night telegrnphed Colonel Roosevelt
that If he would consent to accept the
Republican nomination for Governor
ne would Immediately withdraw his
own name from the state convention.
The telegram is regarded here as the
master stroke of the anti i-Whitmanites,
following the failure to stampede" the
convention this morning for Colonel
Roosevelt
The Lewis telegram was as follows:
"To Hon. Theodore Roosevelt,
"Oyster Bay, N. Y.

unanimous opinion Of the convention
that You should enter the primary as
candidate for Governor. | earnestly
hope that you will do so, in which
event l will recall my petitions

cause believed that the Republican
administration in this state should be

pared to continue my contest for the

should respond patriotically and sacri-
fcially to the call which will be made
upon you.

That the convention wasn't "stam-
peded" for Colonel Roosevelt this
morning was due chiefly to the Colonel

Roosevelt Refuses to See Committee
Bright and early this morning the
anti-Whitman forces, headed by Will
lam Barnes. Of Albany, and William
l.. Ward. of Westchester County, got
together in a hurriedly called confer
ence and decided, so word was freely
passed about the village, to sweep the
convention off its feet and nominate
the Colonel, willy nilly All that was
required to insure the success Of the
plan was the consent of the Colonel to
be a party to it.
Within a few minutes of the arrival
of Colonel Roosevelt at the United
States Hotel message was sent him
asking If he would see committee

and social institutions which must re-
suit from the measures necessary to
carry on the war.
We have been building up by a
great mass Of statutes and executive
authority unprecedented in scope and
abs olutism. We have done it with
alacrity because it was necessary for
the conduct of the war. We shall con-
tlnuc it so long as the war lasts. But
when the war ends all this system Of
executive government will have to be
unscrambled and we shall have to get

Washington Points Out This
Not Likely Without First.
Feeling Of Allies

Washington, July 30-RepOrts that
Turkey has broken with Germany, tho
uneonfirmed here today, gave increas-
ed evidence that all is not well at Ger
many's back door.
Authorities inclined to doubt that
there had been an actual split between
the nations. But they did admit that
there was sufficient semblanee of va
riety in the story to indicate that Tur-
key is increasingly imperious in her
demands on Germany and Bulgaria.
State department adviees recently
have shown that the Turks were reach
ing out with greedy hands for terri
tory, now that the Teutonic entente
considered Russia and Rumania fair
spOils. This has engendered bitterness
in Germany.
1t is doubted that Turkey would split
with Germany without first trying to
strike a bargain with the allies.
Reports that King Ferdinand of Bull
garia has departed mysteriously con-
stitutes another angle of the turmoil
brewing among Germany's friends.
This government is still awaiting an
official Turkish answer to its demands
for information as to the anti American
outrages at Tabriz.
The state department cautioned it
was unwise to place too much credenee
on the reported break. 1t was recalled
that from time to time there have
been reports of Turkish dissatisfaction
with German domination.
1t is likely some of the Turkish gov
ernment organization is nti-German,
but it is doubtful if this group predom-
mates, officials say.
As to Bulgaria, it was pointed out
that the prospects of Balkan distribu-
tion in the peace conference is disturb
ing her. She is in no position now to
trade with the allies.

The Red Cross organization has insti-
tuted new patriotic movement in Sa-
lem which viii mean a great deal to
the soldiers and sailors in the hospitals.
1t is that Of canning fruit and making
jam for use in the hospitals at Fort
Vancouver, Fort Stevens, Fort Candy
and Fort Columbia. The need is very
great, for even at Fort Vancouver there
are one hundred patients at present.
Last Thursday the women gathered
at the domestic science rooms of the
high school to can the fruit that had
been donated. This Thursday the work
will be continued. More cans are need
ed, and anyone having either cans or
fruit to donate are asked to phone to
Mrs. Bowersox. 2502Jl, who has charge
of this part of the work.
In order to pay for the sugar and
rubber that are necessarily used, next
Saturday will be designated as tag day
and the general public will again have
an opportunity to show their sympathy
for worthy war work.
Rev. and Mrs. R. N. Avison, accom-
panied by their daughter, Genevieve,
are leaving for Newport today where
they will take a cottage for fort

to leave about the middle of August

circles, who are acquainted with Fran
els Richter of Portland, is the fact that
he passed with high honors the exami-
