ODELL BACK OF SCHEME
V.x-Goi ernor Would Boost Rooscrelt
for Governor of Xew York to
Ort Rid of Him In Race for
T. S. Senatorship.
BT L,LTI F. LOXEROAS.
NEW YORK, Nov. 29. (Special.) The
Roosevelt "boom" for Governor, -which
lias excited a number ot newspapers here
abouts, la disposed, of by the ex-Presi-;
dent'a friends In the one word:
"Noneense."
The "boom" was atarted by ex-Governor
' Ttenl&mln B. Odell. who declared for pub-
4 . V. MDAHjivalt KMtM tlHTA thO
nomination by limn his finger. And
be were nominated, he wouia De eiecica.
Then State Chairman Timothy I Wood
" ruff followed this up by declaring; he
would gladly do anything he could, and
heartily favored Roosevelt's nomination.
But many people overlook the fact that
Odell Is probably the most bitter enemy
Roosevelt has In the Republican party
here. It was Roosevelt who drove Odell
out of power. It was Roosevelt who at
tacked Odell's political backer, the late E.
H. Harriman.
Therefore It may be properly asked,
why ta Odell so anxious to see Roosevelt
' make the race for Governor next year?
It inconceivable that Odell Is animated
" by friendly feelings. He frankly dislikes
' the ex-President and makes no bones of
( saying so.
Woodruff's AetlTlty Kxplained.
Woodruff's activity Is easily explained.
In January. 1PU. the Legislature will elect
a successor to United States Senator
Ctiauncey M. Depew. Rumor has had It
thai Roosevelt wants the Job. With a
Republican legislature It would all be
over except the shouting. Woodruff Is
anxious to annex the Job himself. That
Is why he would enjoy seeing- Roosevelt
In the executive mansion.
Billy Barnes, of Albany: George W.
Aldridge. of Rochester; Francis Hen
dricks, of Syracuse; Senate Leader John
Raines. Speaker James W. Wadswort'.i.
Herbert Parsons, of New Tork, In fact
ever big and little boss rn the party,
would welcome' Roosevelt's candidacy
with acclaim. For It Is the only way
they sev to "get rid of that terrible
Hughes.'
The Governor may not know tt. but a
number of his most bitter enemies went
to 'Washington and begged Tatt. "for the
sake of the party." to put Hughes on the
fnited States Supreme bench In place of
Justice Peckham, deceased.
Plea Is to Remove Hughe.
"He Is a mighty good lawyer," declared
one county leader who hates Hughes.
"and he would be an ornament to the
bench. Please, for God's sake, remove
him from state politics."
The Hughes following Is a mighty pe
culiar conetltuency. The bulk of his ad
herents are Independent Republicans, and
mighty Independent at that Their code
. Is a simple one. When they find a Re
publican candidate who Is opposed to
. Hughes, they vote for his Democratic op
ponent. Tt Is safe to say now that when the
next state convention meets the majority
of the delegates will be opposed to
Hughes. But suppose he sayit he wants
a third nomination, what are they going
to do?
They have the votes and will be able
in turn down Hughes with ease. But he
" holds the balance of power and his hu
miliation would undoubtedly mean a
. Democratic Governor.
Hughes Likes Roosevelt.
With Roosevelt In the race, however,
such a result would not occur. The
Governor and the ex-President are
great friends. Hughes wtuld be per
fectly satisfied to see Rosevelt succeed
him. He would undoubtedly make that
fact known and hold his followers In
line.
But
Would he do It for any other candi
date? The consensus of opinion Is that he
would not, unless the nominee was a
high-class Independent of whom he ap
proved: and the swapping of one
"crank" for another does not appeal to
the practical politicians as being much
of a victory.
So they would like to enlist Roose
velt, the only "practical reformer" In
the state, and a man who has proved
he can satisfy all factions.
- An office holder In this city, who
was a confidant of Roosevelt during
his two terms In the White House,
summed up the situation In these
words today:
Roosevelt to Recoup Fortune.
"Men who believe Colonel Roosevelt
will enter the race for Governor do not
know what they are talking about.
When the former President left for
Africa he had practically decided to
have nothing more to do with politics.
He told me at that time his political
life had proved very expensive, and he
proposed to recoup his fortune by lit
erary Work.
"At that time his name was being
mentioned as a probable successor to
either Piatt or Depew, and he re
marked: 'Say, it would be bully to go
in the Senate and take a fall out of
Aldrich and that crowd." But there was
nothing to indicate that he was anxious
to secure the position.
"Colonel .Roosevelt's real friends, of
whom .1 am one, will advise him to keep
out of the gubernatorial race. Mind, I
do hot know that he wants to re-enter
politics, but if he does, the United States
Senate is the place for him."
The man who is quoted above Is a cool,
hard-headed citizen, and an excellent
judge of political conditions. His advice,
being disinterested, will undoubtedly have
more effect upon Roosevelt than all the
pleas of Woodruff, who la anxious that
the ex-President shall drag the organ
ization's chestnuts out of the fire
So, no matter what may be said. It Is
a pretty safe bet that Roosevelt will not
return to the executive mansion at Al
bany. That is, unless African hunting
has changed him immensely, and his
friends do not believe that it has.
STORM BREWS OVER PLAN
Continued From First Pass.)
the passage of as Irrigation warrant or
certificate law bearing his name a law
that will hasten the completion of Irriga
tion work In his own state, he will have
one big feather. In his cap. and one good
argument to advance as to why he should
be re-elected.
President Taft. Secretary Baillnger and
Senator Borah are agreed that bonds
would probably sell better than warrants
or certificates. They would appeal more
strongly to bankers from whom the cash
must come. That Is the reason they took
up the bond feature, rather than some
thing else.
Carter's objection to bonds is purely
selfish; there is no question whatever
that he would prefer bonds to warrants
or certificates If -he, instead of others, had
conceived that idea. Perhaps an arrange
ment may be made to permit Carter to
introduce the bond bill, bearing the Ad
ministration stamp, and thus derive what
political benefit he can from it. That
would be the Taft way of solving this
problem. Others interested in .securing
the cash have no personal pride in their
Idea; they are willing that the legislation
shall bear any name that will help it,
but they do want the cash.
Senator Carter can do worse than ac
cept the bond issue proposition, whether
it bears his name or not. If, by diverg
ing from the President and the Admin
istration, and pressing a separate prop
osition of his own that does not bear the
Indorsement of the Administration, he
prevents legislation altogether, the blame
for the failure will fall, and properly
fall, upon his shoulders, and he will then
have to reckon- with his people for the
delay In completing their Irrigation
projects.

NEGRO MOB WOULD LYNCH
'Washington Has Near Race Riot,
When Police Arrive.
WASHINGTON, Nov. .-Edward Per
dee, concrete construction superintendent
of Marianna, near here, was possibly
saved from being lynched by a mob ot
ISO negroes yesterday, by the timely ar
rival of police officers, who lodged the
man in the Jail on a charge of killing
Skinner Young, a negro, a short time
earlier.
Perdee and a friend were walk
ing along a road near their home when
three strangers approached. It is said
Perdee made a wager with his companion
that the men were negroes. He won, but
the men discussed, realizing that they
had been connected with the bet, asked
about it. They resented the epithet, "nig
gers." said to have been applied by the
white men, and in the quarrel which fol
lowed. Young was shot and killed. Per
dee and his friend had to seek refuge In
a hotel to escape the friends of the dead
man.
RUNAWAY GIRL KILLS SELF
Maid Takes Acid; Boys Call; Now
Police Seek Latter.
CHICAGO, Nov.- t9 Miss Mabel Ster
ling. 18 years old, ran away from home In
East Chicago, Inri., Saturday, and Sun
day morning was found dying in a room
in a lodging-house in Chicago, apparently
having swallowed carbolic acid with sui
cidal intent. Death came before she
could explain why she ran away or why
she desired death, if her death was sui
cide. The mystery was deepened in the
afternoon, when three young men called
at the hotel to inquire about Miss Ster
ling, unaware, apparently, that she was
dead. They told Peter Hassfurther, the
desk clerk, that she had run away from
home. They were informed Miss Sterling
hsd killed herself, and they left. Officers
are now searching for these young men.
HIGH COURT UPHOLDS IDAHO
0 .-
Lewis ton's Right to Condemn Prop
erty for Streets Sustained.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 29. The Supreme
Court of the United States today upheld
the finding of the Supreme Court of Idaho
In a case involving the question as to
whether a city has the right to lay out
streets so as to encroach upon private
property.
The action was brought to compel Louis
E. Squier to remove buildings which en
croached four feet on a street in the town
of Lewiston. It was shown that the
property had been occupied by Squier be
fore the town was laid out and the Idaho
Supreme Court held that under those con
ditions, the streets could not be so run by
the surveyor as to deprive the occupants
of vested rights.
