DWIGHT WITH ROOSEVELT
Congressman Talks of a Winning
RgM and Solid Support.
DADY ALSO IN CONFERENCE
Says He Saw -President to
"Pat Him Right" as to Kings
County.
{Rj- Telegraph to The Tribune. 1
Oyster Bay. Sept. 21.— Congressman John
W. Dwight. of Einghamton. N. V.. who
has ••« n the R-publican "whip" in the
House of Representatives and Speaker
Cannons right hand mar,, visited Saga
more Hill to-day for the first time. He
came to see Theodore Roosevelt about the
state situation.
Mr. Dwight figured Mr. Roosevelt that
the delegates from his district in Tomp
kins County would support him to a man
for temporary chairman of the Saratoga,
convention. H»- said he was confident the
Progressives would win in their fight with
the "old guard."
Congressman W. W. Cocks, who repre
sents th,e Oyster Bay district, accom
panied Mr. Dwight. They had luncheon
with Mr. Roosevelt and didn't leave Saga
more Hill until late in the afternoon. After
the talk Congressman Dwight said:
"I have known Mr. Roosevelt since 1851.
We have always been warm personal
friends. We were together in the West
and will be together at Saratoga. The
delegates from Tompkirs County will sup
port him to a man."
Dady with Roosevelt an Hour.
Michael J. Dad'- leader of the Ist Dis
trict of Kings County, who always has
lined up with the li guard," called at
Sagamore Hill with Postmaster E. TV.
Voorhies of Brooklyn, an ardent supporter
of the PropressiTe cause. They spent an
hour with Mr. Roosevelt. Dady's call grave
ris* to the report that he had transferred
his; support to the anti- Woodruff forces.
Colonel Dady denied that such was the
case. He said he believed Mr. Roosevelt
had been misinformed in regard to the
true *tate of affairs in Kings County. He
had come, he said. •• "put him right" and
tell Mr. Roosevelt that he could not ex
pect to get any more votes from Kings
County than those in the four districts
where the delegates had already been
pledged to the ex-Presto* ent.
It was understood that Colonel Dady had
been Invited to come 10 Oyster Bay by Mr.
Roosevelt. The warm friendship existing
between the ex-President ?.r.d the Kings
County leader offered the main reason why
Mr Roosevelt had asked Colonel Dady to
call, it was said.
Mr. Roosevelt declined to discuss any
thing that raj Fa.d at the conference.
Neither did lie have any comment to make
today on the defeat of Vice-President
Sherman* at the primaries in the lstter's
home district, or the defeat of Congress
man Tawncy at the primaries in the Ist
Minnesota District.
Thinks Sherman at "Wrong End."
Congressman ' Cocks "as ask<>d bow he
felt about -the Vice-President's failure to
'•vln at the primaries in Utica. He said:
"I an: glad that he lost, in a way, but
sorry to see 'Jim' licked in his home dis
trict. He is on the wrong end of the stick
in this fight."
—^. Fmai • >v-k and th< Vice-Presi
warm personal rriends
Congressman Invight obtained Mr. Rx>o!*e
velt's promise to-day to make a day's trip
upstate soon in the interests of better farm
ing conditions. It is proposed to visit sec
tions from Ithaca to Binghamton and look
over the deserted and ur.used farms. Pro
fessor L. H. Bailey, of Cornell University,
who wa-s formerly chairman of the Country
Life Commission, will accompany Mr.
Roosevelt and Mr. Dwlpht. The day for
Tbe trip has not yet be*:n fixed, but !t will
be sea time within the next two weeks.
Several political leaders are expected at
Sagamore Hill to-morrow to _onfer with
Mr. Roosevelt. It i:- expected that other
leader? who are lined up with the Barnes-
Woodruff forces will visit Sagamore Hill
before the end of the week-
Mr. Rooosevelt has evidently taken a
good share of the responsibilities for the
campaign against the "old guard" upon his
own shoulders and intends to talk with
some of the opposing leaders with a. view
of recruiting deiegates from the other side,
if possible He spent some dm to-day in
sending directions to his various lieuten
ants throughout the state.
Recruiting for Saratoga Fight,
While the ex-Pre."ident has had nothing
but words of praise for Lloyd C Griscom,
president of th*- Republican County Com
mittee, who is looked upon as his chief
lieutenant in the tight against the "old
guard." developments during the last few
days have made it appear that men more
experienced in practical politics are to be
called in to manage the fight at Saratoga.
Cornelius V. Collins. State Superintend
«iiit of Pri?»or:P. "ill have charge of the
Roosevelt headquarters. In all probability
Congressman Dwight, Congressman Her
bert Parsons ana Frederick Greiner, post
master of Buffalo, will direct the fight on
the floor' of the convention.
There is an unconfirmed report here to
night that William I>. Ward, for many
fears leader in Westchester County, may
hf won over by the RooseveU-Griscom
iorces. Mr. Ward's delegates would easily
pive Mr. Roosevelt a good working ma
jority at the convention.
OSBORNE ON ROOSEVELT

IBy TeW-jrraph to The Tribune. 1
Auburn. N. V.. Sept. 2L— Thomas M. Os
bornt. head of the Democratic League, was
to-day enthusiastically indorsed by the-
Cayuira County Democratic Convention,
which instructed its delegates for Mr. Os»
born»- as candidate for Governor. He de
livered an address at the convention in
which he. outlined the issues of the cam
paign. *
H«> declared that four important problems
must be discussed. First, the Payne tariff
must be judged by th? voters, Mr. Os borne
siud: second, the issue of saasieajL whether
by "litt'.e in>ss«»E. like Barnes and Woodruff,
or <jJj«> L>ie boss like Roosevelt," must be
j-rttled, «tn<3 direct primaries would be one
of the solutions demanded.
Start ramo the issue of "Rooseveltlsm."
iind Mr. Oshornt? declared that the ex-Presi
dent's "recent gyrations' had made him
lik«> a 4haracter in Gilbert and Sullivan's
opera, "lmlf man, half fairy: fairy to the
waist, but lees mortal. Ills upp^r half is
Tory, and his leys arc- confounded Radi

house on a titvif-ion." life said that Roose

the story that he was once a member of
the Cobden Club.
The fourth issu*- » .•■ declared to be that
of home rule, full freedom tor individuals,

SCHENECTADY, ROOSEVELT
"Old Guard's" Programme Is
Wrecked in Stampede.
Schenectady. N. Y. Sept. Harmony
plans went to smash in the Republican
County Convention held here to-day, and
the carefully arranged programme for the
Indorsement of Vice-President Sherman at
the state convention to be held on Tues
day at Saratoga was wrecked.
Prior to the assembling of the conven
tion several conferences were held, and
it was thought that the programme would
go through without a hitch, but on the
floor opposition developed and swept every
thing before It As a result the eleven
delegates to the state convention from
this count}- will be pro-Roosevelt.
.lust when or by whom the Roosevelt
stampede was started could not be told.
Automatically, almost, the movement be
gan, and within a short space of time
ex-State Senator W. W. Wemple, chair
man of the county committee, saw his
sway over the delegates weakening. At
this stage George F. MacKerracher intro
duced a motion that the delegates to the
state convention be instructed for Roose
velt, and the motion was carried.
The' following delegates were chosen to
the state convention: Lewis L. Lovett,
Van D. Sager, F. J. Mac Donald, Mark
Atuesta, Albert Grussner, Robert Van
Valkenburg. E. E. Relf. Alva H. Fairlee.
E. H. Keller. Henry Houchli and U Brown.
The fun started when the "old guard"
moved that the convention chairman name
the committee on resolutions. The in
surgents insisted that the committee be
named from the floor, and won on the
rollcall by a majority of three votes, and
from then on they had everything their
own way.
Following last night's primaries the in
surgents met in a barn, mapped out a
programme, and this morning had ap
parently compromised with the organiza
tion on the final slate.
When the Roosevelt forces discovered
their strength early in the convention they
took things into their own hands and
dealt the "old guard" a crushing blow.
George C. MacKerracher, the Insurgent
leader, is said to be slated to succeed ex-
Senator Wemple for the county chairman
ship. George C. Moon, insurgent candi
date, defeated George T- Bostwick, backed
by the organization for County Clerk by
a vote of 75 to 22. D. B. Salmon was nomi
nated by the insurgents for district attor?
ney, but he promptly withdrew.
The Roosevelt issue did not enter into
yesterday's primaries, and the organiza
tion did not realize that the anti-Sherman
sentiment was so strong. The "old guard"
believed it had the convention under its
thumb.
SEVERE SHOCK FOR BARNES
Loss of Schenectady Delegates
Creates Peculiar Situation.
[By Telegraph to The Tribune.]
Albany, Beat. William Barnes, Jr.. re
ceived a shock to-day when he learned that
the eleven delegates from Schenectady
County would support Colonel Roosevelt
for temporary chairman of the Republican
State Convention. Mr. Barnes has all
along been figuring on the Schenectady
delegates to vote with his delegates for
Vice-President Sherman.
When informed of the action of the
Schenectady convention Mr. Barnes de
clared it did not change the situation and
that Mr. Sherman would certainly be
elected.
The action of the Echenectady conven
tion came a? a surprise to Republican or
ganization men here, and creates a pecul
iar Eituation, in that delegates from the
same Congress district with Albany will
vote against Mr. Barnes's choice for tem
porary chairman. There has always been
a working understanding between the
Schenectady and Albany County Republi
can organization but a Dew condition of af
fairs now exists which may affect the Re
publican Congress situation in the Aibany-
Schenectady district. For years Repre
sentative George N. South-wrick. Mr.
limes':- closest political and personal
friend, has beer, nominated and elected,
although he barely got through two years
ago. Because of the apparent opposition
to South wick by thousands of Republicans,
i* was understood he would step down and
out and that probably a Schenectady resi
dent would be nominated.
Whether each a plan will be carried out.
in view of to-day's developments remains
u> be seen.
Ir an editorial to-night Mr. Barnes con
tfnues i-is abuse <jf Colonel Roosevelt. He
It is to be regretted that when President
Taft, according to newspaper reports of
his conference with Mr. Roosevelt, ••made
it clear that he is in entire sympathy with
the people of New York In their fight

clearer, so that it would be plain to all.

With ■_...- .cteristic presumptuousness
the adherents of Mr. Roosevelt have
claimed that the President thus manifested
his sympathy with Mr. Roosevelt in his
fight against those Republican leaders
whom he and his friends call "bosses" be
cause they will not subject themselves to
his dictation and are upholding the long
established principles of the Republican
party and striving to safeguard tneni
against the attempt to supplant them with
•■adical doctrines of socialistic and popo
cratic origin.
But it Is the bossism of big bosses that
has been conspicuously in evidence in this
state for some time— the bossism of a for
mer President of the United States, who
dictated to a Republican convention the
nomination of a Governor; the boastam of
a Governor* who sought to coerce the Legis
lature to enact into law a revolutionary
chung^ In party procedure, namely, direct
nominations, for which there was no decla
ration In the platform on which he was
elected, and latterly, the bosFisni of an ex-
President of the United States, manifested

nately futile, to the Legislature, and now

State Committee's choice of a temporary
chairman of the state convention and his
effort to substitute for the sound, success

most radical propositions which he was
able to appropriate from the parties that
arc opposed to Republican principles and
policies It if indeed to be regretted that
lYesldent Taft did not make his meaning
perfectly clear.
Mr. Barnes stated to-day that he would
Htart for Saratoga on Friday. Th? twenty

ed by Mr. Barnes, will be elected to-mor

( oulinueil from Hr-t I"-
Sherman, as stated above. Saratoga
County, they declare emphatically,
should be considered as doubtful, with
the chances largely that it will be for
Roosevelt. Senator Brackett. who con
trols there, is considered much of an op
portunist, and the Progressives expect
him to climb on the band wagon
The entire delegation from Orange
County, consisting of seventeen votes. Is
-ounted for Roosevelt, according to the
Progressives. They also claim that they
will get some of the eight delegates of
Borough President Cromwell in Rich
mond, and are also counting on getting
at least sixty instead of only forty votes
in Kings County*.
Effect of Sherman's Defeat.
As a matter of fact, the Progressives
bslieve that the defeat of Vice- President
Sherman in his own district and the
capture of the Schene^tady delegation
f-om Mr. Barnes will have a great moral
effect, resulting in still further defec
tions from the "old guard" ranks.
"We really showed what mm could do
where we really made a fight at the pri
maries." said one of the Progressive
leaders. "What we did in the Sherman
district we might have done tn Monroe
and in othei districts if there had been
time to organize a real fight."
On the other hand, the "old guard' do
not yet publicly concede that Roosevelt
will get some of the delegates credited
to him in the above table. They
claim all of the nine delegates in Alle
gany, for instance, and the seven del
egates hi Chenango.
They do not admit that Roosevelt will
get any of the six delegates in Essex,
and claim the entire delegations in Or
leans and Niagara. They also claim the
entire delegations in Ulster and Tates,
and declare that Roosevelt will not have
more than thirty-five of the delegates in
Kings County. They also claim Ti'>ga
because of the fa,ct that Assemblyman
Howard, an "old guardsman." has been
renominated.
Delegates in Oayuga ar<* to be elected
to-day, those In Niagara to-morrow, and
the Broorae and Rockland county con
vention* are to be held on Saturday.
Barnes Breaks the News.
When William Barnes, jr., used the
long distance telephone from Albany
yesterday to break the news about
Schenectady gently to State Chairman
Woodruff it is understood that some in
teresting conversation ensued. Mr.
■Woodruff expressed surprise, whereupon
Mr. Barnes Is said to have retorted that
the state chairman did not seem alto
gether successful tn holding together his
own delegation.
Poon after 6 o'clock the state chair
man started in an automobile for his
summer home at Garden Cits' to forget
politics for the night, if possible. Soon
after he had left William L. Ward, the
"old guard" leader of Westchester,
bobbed into headquarters through the
private entrance from the Republican
Club.
He was looking for the state chair
man, but when he saw the newspaper
men he avoided them and went Into con
ference with Lafayette B. Gleason. the
secretary.
Mr. Oriscom will leave the city on his
way to Saratoga to-morrow afternoon.
H» is going up the Hudson in the motor
boat Tarpon, owned by Earl Dodge, the
same craft in which Mr. Roosevelt had
his exciting trip across the Pound on his
way to see President Taft on Monday.
Mr. Griscom will be accompanied by
Ogden L. Mills, treasurer of the county
committee, and the partj will remain
overnight at the summer home of Mr.
Mills, in Staatsburg. They start from
there for Saratoga in a motor car on
Saturday.
SUGGESTS SENATOR ROOT
Madison Leader Urges Him for
Temporary Chairman.
Utlca. X. V.. Sept. 21.- A movement to
substitute the name of Senator Elihu Root
for temporary chairman of the Republican
State Convention In the interest of harmony
was started here to-day. The ■mi—
comes from Madison County.
Judge Kiley, of Cazenovia, the Republican
leader of Madison County, was in Utlca this
afternoon, and declared that the county
was ca:te in favor of Senator Root. In a
formal statement Judge Kiley indicates the
belief in his part of the state that the pres
entation of Senator Roof? name would
eliminate in the convention the differences
of the Roosevelt-Sherman factions, and he
urges that such action be taken. His rea
son is the necessity of concerted effort to
brine victory to his party.
UPSET AT SHERMAN HOME
"Old Guard" Completely Thrown
Out in 2d Oneida District.
Utlca, N. V.. Sept. 21.-The 2d Assembly
District convention of this county was
held this afternoon at Whitestown. This
district, in which Mr. Sherman and Sen
ator Davenport live, was carried heavily
by the Pr«.gressiv«. yesterday, and at the
convention the nine delegates chosen to
the state convention were instructed to sup
port Theodore Roosevelt for temporary
chairman of the state convention. The con
vention strongly indorsed direct primaries,
commended President Taft. Governor
Hughes. Colonel Roosevelt and Senator
Davenport, but made no mention of Mr.
Sherman. A new committee was selected,
throwing out the old organization commit
tee completely.
Vice-President Sherman will have dele
gates from the Ist and 3d Assembly dis
tricts of Oneida County to support him
for temporary chairman of the state con
vention. Of the fifteen wards in Utica he
carried ten. His own ward was captured
by the Progressives by almost one hundred
majority, though every effort was made by
a number of his close political friends to
stem the tide. Sherman carries twenty-nve
towns and wards In the county. The
Progressives have twenty-three. It ha.«
been impossible up to the present time to
secure an estimate of the total vote in the
county, but the Progressives claim that,
taking all the votes cast at the primaries
yesterday, they have nearly two to one in
their favor.
The Ist and 3d Assembly District conven
tions will boon be held and will elect four
teen delegates to the state convention who
will stand by air. Sherman and the "old
guard."
Yesterday two of the sons of Vlce-Presi
dent Sherman were challenged for votins
in a district of the 7th Ward with their
father. They are married and live in
ttjH Uth Ward, but have heretofore voted
with their father In his home ward. They
swore In their team ■ Mr. Bherman's dele
gates lorl that ward by ntatj ma
jority. However, had the Hherman boys
voted in the Uth Ward, where they re
aid*-, they would have carried that ward
for their father's delegate, aa tho Progres
sive majority was only or\a.
