Oregon Senator Thinks Sit uation Will Resolve Itself Into Stand for Roosevelt for Third Term Alleged Patronage Gifts. By John E. Lathrop. (Washington Bare a of The Joonul.) Washington, Jan. 28. Four months ago this bureau stated to The Journal tnat, v if Governor Charles 1 E, Hughes of New Tork wanted the New York na. tiohat Republican delegationlhe could have Itrrthat. it: would be Impossible for the machine there to take the dele gation away , from him. Since the governor has ' openly de clared that he is a candidate, it is con ceded here by all, or practically all, that the question was settled by his an nouncement, and that it Is safe to count on New Tork as In the Hughes column in ivus. Hughes' declaration has entirely a! tered the situation and done more to worry the Taft people than anything of recent occurrence, senator Bourne was almost mad with glee, saying: Bourne Delighted. It means that New York will be for Hughes; that that will defeat' Taft, and that that will nominate Roosevelt." However tnat may be. it Is certain that Hughes will have the Gotham dele gates, and that tney win put up a light or him. I f atun t m nnrin t n thnt ' with ?aw York In the Hughes column, and the re sentment or tne country at large against federal . Interference In booming Taft through appointments, the Taft boom, apparently mighty healthy a fortnight ago, is now not so stvong. The Question of the federal patronage being used for Taft Is not to be laughed out of court as a small Issue. It really is a major element In the situation, and there are hosts of good Roosevelt men who admit that they do not like the thing at all. Historical precedents are being dug up to prove , that only dis- asetr has come to the party the leader of which has attempted to utilize the club of federal patronage to force on the country f. successor the selection of the Incumbent. Ifhe Taft people realise that their candidate Is being weakened every day by the overshadowing of Mr. Roose velt, and there has been a strong ele ment In .the ..aft camp which has de manded all along that the ' secretary "cut loose" from the White House, GRAFT S FINGER OFFIiil Whose Pockets Receive "Protection" Fund Paid by Denizens of Under world?

These arq questions that are being passed from mouth to ear In the county eourthouse, the city hall, at polloe head quarters and wherever men gather who have a khowledge, however limited, of existing conditions in the underworld of official graft. in the same connection some very vig It stories are being told of specific in stances where ; officials, and others whose names are household words, have levied tribute on the habitues of the half world, making the payment of goodly portion of their filthy gains the price or an opportunity to earn more.
