Au. 24 Sprcll.V Thf 4tmt of Roosevelt, in the Mate tommtttce ami, the selection of Vlce rresMrnt Sherman for ii-mponiry chair man of the tate convention are ex plained In various ways by politicians here. One or the. moat Interesting atorltts float is that the entire affair was planned out bWorcliand by Koosevelt for political effect. f '"When the convention meets. one heretofore well poeted person predicts, 'you will find that Roowevelt will be In fnll conlroL. It lfc all ft scheme to trenthen the party, and the only per son whu Is not 'wise- to it Is I,loyd CrUrom. president of the New York 0unty Committee, who is regarded as an araatur. The Republicans of New York are not a cat ii ft Taft. nor are they opposed t. Roosevelt. Rut they have little or no use for the 'old icanftv. ; Colonel I-augh at "Turn Doua." As iTicllna; to Mipport this peculiar contention, the following facts tye of imprest : When Roosevelt was "turned down." . it did not im to hurt his feeling In the least. e lau-ched and had a per fectly hitppy lime.

Two of the men who led the fiirht for Sherman were Boas Barnes, of Al banv. and llok Ward, of Weatcheaier. The first nominated Sherman, the other seconded the motion. Yet. as aoon as the committee meeting; was over, these two mn hurried around to the Out look office and were received In the mot cordial manner . by Roosevelt. They enjoyed a -Ions: ronfwence. and hen Karnes and the Colonel went out :o lunch together. Taft Men Vote for Roosevelt.

If -President Taft has been interested In lownlnjr Rookevelt. a mere hint would iave sent these votes over to the other .olii"nn. Only a few scattering delegates have leen elected to the state convention, which will be held In Saratoga on Sep tember 27. The bulk of the members tre to be aw-tected at the primaries arly next month. These will be held in all the rittes on t he tame date. JIotc Thonffht foml Politic. The theory is that. Roosevelt believes it rood politic to permit the idea to i?t out that the "old aranar" la In con trol. Then when the state cooventlon meet ttiey can be Hrtvhn from power iwlt Ml the eclat and fireworks oh finable. After which the party can enter the tfht clalmliis; that there nas been a tiouseeleantnar. and that the 'wukei nien' are no lonarcr In au-thority.- It must not be firirotin that what lUrnet.. Aid rich. Ward. Woodruff and 1 he other old timers want is to win. They do not rare what people think r put tf thm so lnar as they have the ofnees.

The old auard undrstands Roosevelt and R-vevr4t understands the old misrd. The onlr chance of party ancceas In w York Htate this year Is by rele r:itinc the old boea to the rear and putting tip a ticket that meets with toe approval of Rooaevelt. The old guard Is willing; to be hu mtli.ited. so lone as, It la allowed to ftrjt Itself at the pie counter. Had the practical men lined up with Roose velt, the ordtnary voters mixht have thought that a -Jral had been hatched up. and a deal, or rather the discovery of one. would baVe ruined everything-. Rut with the practical men on record as galnt Roosevelt, the public In Hke Ir to be Indignant. And If the practical men fail to hold their delegates at the convention the result will be hailed as a great victory for the right. Shermnn Slick Politician. That this la not a scheme to humiliate K.MMvelt. is demonstrated by the action of V ice-PrvMdent Sherman, in consenting to make the race. !iratan. despite his reputed limitation, la a pretty sleek poli tician. He realises the ticklish condition of Republican aiTatrs In this state and Is anxtoui to se a victory. You could not drag hlra tnto a factional tight this ear. his friends say. 11 is action In con sentlnc to preside over th convention daring Its early stages is, therefore, re garded a due (o the fact that he knows no real battle Is in progress or In con templation. The general belief here is that Roose velt will go to the state convention as a delegate from his borne district. -He will not permit any flrht on the selec tion of Sherman as the temporary chair man, on the ground that his high othce entitles him t? the distinction. But when the flacht for permanent offtcers comes tip. the expectation la that Roosevelt wjU ba elected permanent chairman, and deliver hU "keynote peech." Kooeevelt Mm to Control. Tarn the Rooaevrlt men will take con trol of the convention, nam all the can tlwU.es for state offices, and. write the platform. While this explanation sounds like weird politics, there are many well posted persons who believe it. , They point out tiat the eld crowd could never elect any ticket that tli-y named, and tat aa practical men. they care every -rhing for results ami mistily little for eutiuient or revenge. And tliclr only chance, of w1nnir.it la to have a platform tLd a list uf c and iia tem approved of by everyone. fpeakinc uf candid es, fa lh preseut peculiar campaign, there do not seeem to be any aspirants for office. A number of xrien have been spoken of. but the only one who la making a fight for the Re publican nomination for Governor Is Con gressman William S. Hennet. and he is not taken seriously Outside of his Imme diate family. The man moat generally considered at present is Superintendent of Insurance Hotchkiss, who has a repu tation as a reformer, but is still on friendly terms with the machine men. llngliea Keep Out of 1'lfti.t. KfTorts to induce Governor Hughe to commit himself in the present fight have failed, lie Uikea the ground that aa he will he out of politics and on the Supreme t Court tK-n-h 1 ft-fore ei-ct!on day it would be unseemly for htm to attempt to Inter fere at this time. Colonel Kitosevelt's speech-, which will be delivered at the convention will be p re pa ret 1 shortly. He is already consult ing with some of his friends as to the nature uf It. All that he has said- of it to ditto m thai it "mould help the right candidate on a clear cut . progressive platform." This has been Interpreted In a number of ways It is stated, however, that the Colonel has loet much of his entnusiasm for di rect primaries. When he returned from Kuroe. he Indorsed the Hughes bill on the spur of the monienu nau it defeated, and immediately regretted his hasty ac tion. Several friends have remarked late ly that "the Colonel is afraid he made a break on that matter." Tins, by the may, would suit Barnes and his crowd exactly. They have no objection to a "clear cut progressive plat- TWO PROMINENT NATIONAL FIGURES WHO AEE CREDITED WITH ADVISING TAXT'S POLITICAL COURSE. .y'v.-fc.-:- mi r " -V v ' - I,- -s fill Sk r s IB-' -' t lllll -Photo Copyright by American Press AssociaMon. .

For on National matters our local badws are delightfully and frankly Impartial.

Y one of tiia ftlri naturali'ts that accompanied the Roosevelt African expedition, delivered his first lecture, "Through Africa With Koosevelt." here tonight as one of the attractions of the Old Home Week cele bration. Mr. Irin? covered the entire trip from Mombasa. British Kast Africa, to Oondokoro on the Nile, where the hijr game hunting practically ceased. After describing the habits of the na tives and game, and relating many interesting experiences that befell various members of the party, ' the speaker said: "Colonel Roosevelt and Kcrmit are two of the flqest men to be with in ramp that I have met. Their whole Interest was for the good of the expe dition, and they added many rare ani mals to the collection simply because they were determined to muke it as complete and va! able as possible. Al though handicapped by poor eyesight, the Colouel Is a good marksman. Like all sportsmen, he made many good shots and he made many poor ones, but as a whole his shooting was above the average and he frequently brought down many flying birds, such as herons, cranes and greater bustards. In hunt ing dangerous game, such as buffaloes, elephants, rhinoceroses and lions he ex hibited the courage of a veteran big game hunter, and the quickness with which he mastered the situation when In dangerous places and the accuracy of his shooting showed that he never got excited. "I do not think that the Colonel gives his readers a fair impression of the very great danger that he and Her mit wero so often placed in. After we had said goodhy to four or five settlors with whom we had become ac quainted, and met them again sev eral weeks later to find one with a badly Injured arm chewed by a leopard, a second In the hospital at the point of death from a Hon fuawllng. and a third who exhibited a rent in a shirt made by the tusks of a charging ele phant that killed his gun bearer, and after we had dined with a missionary one noon and learned of his death from fever the next day, we began to re alize that hunting African big game was not altogether a one-sided affair." Mr. Loring spoke of Kermlt as being one of the most erslstent sportsmen he has ever met; cool in the presence of danger and so enduring that when he pursued a wounded animal he seldom failed to get It and In tlie chase he out ran his gunhearers and even the swiftest porters. In substance Mr. Loring denied that the expedition was one of slaughter. He aid that it was purely scientific, sent out by the Smithsonian Institution for the purpose of enriching our knowledge of science and to collect specimens of African animals. Ten times the amount of game could have been killed. Already over 3 animals no to science have been described, and when the entire collection has been worked up many more will have been found.. Not Infrequently the Gov ernment is compelled to close to travel ers sections of the country where man eating lions have suddenly appeared and are killing the natives, or where a rogue rhinoceros or buffaloes toss them with their horns. These animals have to be killed before the region Is again safe for travelers. Game is so abundant that barbed wire fences are broken down by sebrae. wild 1easts and hartebeests and crops seriously damaged. The settlers encourage hunters and If they had their own way in a short time the vast herds of game that roam over the plains would be greatly decreased. A large number of colored, lantern slides made from photographs taken . by Colonel Roosevelt and Kermlt Roosevelt were shown. They depicted herds of wild elephants, rhinoceros and giraffes and other African animals. NEW SHORTHAND MARK SET w Yorker Writes 2 Words) in Minute; New Champion. DKNVER. Aug. 24. Clyde H.

Considerable uneasiness is reported at Seoul owing to the. circulation of threats of disorder following the an nexation.

Sporadic outbreaks in protest against the absorption of Corea by Japan are anticipated, but serious rioting or even widespread objection from the Coreans to the annexation are not expected. Y. M. C.
