They .have aeon aa through it glass darkly, the workings of a new nationalism when the executive power shall become the steward of the public welfare and 1 an independent judiciary, basing” Judgment on principles instead of men, shall be no more. “Then, too, shall the good t, receive the Presidential blessing assurance that there will be no tile successor to transform it in curse. ^ Many steps have been i to that end by Garfield Plnchot tin 1 others under the leadership of tii' ir chief, but who recentl? returned iKnn a triumphant tour in behalf of tin propogation of the new faith There seemed to them to remain hut one more step to reach the goal th* capture of New York with Roosevelt for Governor; to smash the Republi can machine and-then rule, over a v i / t /•» r \ - • u sts ith i n Jo a fNqy BLEASE AT HOME N.

New, York, has issued a statement in which in 1 refers to a statement of Mr. (ieisconi that the action of the State commit tee "in selecting Mr Sherinuii as temporary chairman will C'Tl.tii be overturned by the convention and that Mr. Roosevelt will preside, whi means that he will appoint the com mittee on resolutions "If Mr. Roosevelt ds .temporary chairman and if the convent ion adopts the report of a radical com mittee on resolutions. New York _w ill place herself alongside of Kansas and, Iowa, and the conservative ele ment of the Republican party which for years has been- ns backbone, will be invited to the rear and the new nationalism coupled with the Hryan- ite pronouncement against the decis ions of the Supreme Court will take its place." Mr Harnes then sins that if Mr Sherman s name should be ratified by the convention and if the resolutions committee drafts a platform endors ing the Taft administration, declar ing opposition to Hie political h>ster- ia of the hour, "and firmly pl uumu Itself upon the sane Republicanism ot the past, theft the partv can entei the campaign with respect for itself which ouvht to command the respei t of the majority of the electorate as it has before.” "Some of the men who are urging Mr. Roosevelt's candidacy for tempo rary chairman of the convention against Vice-President Slientian have little realization of the rising tide of popular disapproval which Mr Roosevelt's speeches in the West have caused. IDs assumption of power is looked upon with wonder ment. His ability to arouse the pas sions of the mob Is.dreaded in every quarter of the State and every day the menace of his political ascen dancy to business and to labor is more thoroughly appreciated.
