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

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.
The claim lias bee?; made that the
1ht wa one of Taft men airalnst
Riwsevelt men. Had that been the
.-use. 1c Is fair to assume that the
-Keueral officeholder would have lined
op with Sherman. Of the li votes for
Roosevelt. fo.?ir ratne from men who
are absolutely under Federal control,
namely. K. J. If. Kracke. Naval officer:
tJeorice Wans, maker. Deputy Purveyor
of the port. William Henkel. I'nlted
States Marshal. and Charles W. Ander
haq. i ul lector ef Internal Revenue. 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

meet ttiey can be Hrtvhn from power
iwlt Ml the eclat and fireworks oh

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

1 he other old timers want is to win.

of the patrunaare. and that covered
ntultitnde of Insults.
Old Ouanl After ICcolt.
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

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-

Lnrinic. of oireico. X. 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.

Considerable uneasiness is reported
