PENDLETON, OTJEUON, TIIUItSDAY, MAItCII lO. I910. NO 6846 SEEKS TO CLIP ROOT'S CLAWS Woodruff Leading Fight to Stop Root From Naming Majority Leader. SPLIT IX REPUBLICAN PARTY IS PROBABLE Woodruff ami Borneo are Arrayed Against Root und Hughes - and Taft to Prevent Illinium's Election as President Pro Tem at Republi can Caucus Roosevelt Is Badly Needed Situation Will Test Root's Power. Albany. N. T., Mar. 10. Timothy L. Woodruff, chairman of the repub lican state committee, arrived here last night and took charge of the fight against the effort of Senator Root to whip the republican senators Into line for the election of Root's candidate for senate majority leader. Woodruff's hasty Journey to Albany proved that the republican organiza tion has a real battle on hand and, Judging from the defiant attitude of his adherents, those who stand ready to obey the wishes of Root and of Governor Hughes will have difficulty In electing Senator Harvey D. Hln man of Binghampton president pro tem at the caucus tonight. Mr. Woodruff attended Senator Piatt's funeral and came from Owego with William Barnes, Jr., republican slate committeeman from Albany county, and one of the governor's most consistent opponents. The situ ation last night resolved Itself into Woodruff and Barnes with such of the old party leaders as still control their own counties, against Root and Hughes, backed by the administra tion at Washington. Woodruff re fused to make a statement, but it is assumed that he will not surrender, at least until after he has canvassed the situation. Senator Cobb of Watertown, whose selection as majority leader seemed certain until Root publicly endorsed Hlnman, Insisted last night that he was still In the fight. Indications last night were that no candidate would have enough votes In the conference tonight to assure elec tion nnd the conference might ad journ again without naming a new leader. According to the claims of the three camps, the republican senators now stand as follows: For Cobb 15, for Hlnman 13, for Davis 4. doubtful 1. Necessary for election 17. The republican situation In the past 24 hours has undergone so swift a change that the most experienced politicians confess themselves at sea. If a majority of the republican sen ators openly defy Root, It Is evident that the party will face a split of un precedented dimensions. ' Cobb's friends declared last night that Root was misled and that he never would have tried to assert his authority so publicly unless he had believed that a word from him would settle the situation. "They gold bricked him; that's all," said one of the recalcitrants. If Root's leadership Is disowned, some republicans declare that nothing but the return of Theodore Roosevelt could cement the party in time to present an unbroken front to the en emy at the next state election. The present disagreement Is the first test of Senator Root's power. SPOKANE RAISES WAGES OK CITY EMPLOYES Spokane, Mar. 10.
