left his chambers on his way to

with military bearing, the judge, a

plan to hold state-wide primaries in
the selection of a presidential candi

dominating the committee. A news
paper dispatch generally printed,
follows:
All attempts to disguise tho fact
a concerted move is on foot looking
to tne nomination of Roosevelt as the
republican presidential candidate,
apparently was dropped when it be
came known members of the national
committee were being sounded as to
their view of the feasibility of "forc
ing" the nomination on the former
president.
Little was talked of but the pros
pective attitude of Roosevelt.
It became known several promi
nent republicans had long talks with
Roosevelt, and that still others had
made engagements to see him after
the committee's meeting.
Supporters of Roosevelt admitting
while he announced he is not a can
didate, claim that as "a good Ameri
can citizen Roosevelt can not do
otherwise than accept, once the con
vention has acted." No attempt, it
was said, will be made to bring a
Roosevelt sentiment to a locus at
this time. The hope of his suporters
is to .achieve the victory in the con
vention itself.
Friends of Taft are meeting Roose

A Washington correspondent for
the Chicago Record-Herald says:
Two Important points in the great
game of strategy pertaining to next
year's presidential campaign have
heen scored by the democrats since
the opening of the present session
of congress.
One was the passage of the dollar-a-day
pension bill by, the house. The
other is the passage of the Sulzer
resolution looking to the termina
nation of the Russian treaty of com
merce and navigation of 1832.
No one will deny that politics of
the most momentous significance is
involved in the action of the demo
cratic house on these subjects.
In both instances the object has
been to place the republican adminis
tration in a bad light before the
voters of the country or, in other
words, to establish a record for the
opposition party that will direct at
tention to Its endeavors in connec
tion with issues that are of para
mount concern at this time.
If the senate holds up the pension
bill so that President Taft will not
have a chance to pass upon it, the
democratic. -leaders will claim credit
for having done their best to give
the surviving soldiers of the civil
war practical recognition of a na
tion's gratitude.
As to the Russian treaty, the abro
gation of which was favored with
practical unanimity regardless of
party, the house democratic leaders
feel that they have Bprung a great
coup by anticipating -the results that
would follow the refusal of Russia
