Oyster Bay, N. Y., June 3—Upon the Belection of temporary chairman of the republican national convention may hang the political fortunes of Ex-Pres- 3dent Roosevelt. He decided tonight to oppose with all his strength the Beating of Senator Root and issued a cal lto all his supporters to stand by him. Colonel Roosevelt's statement 15 80 constructed as to make the issue ® clear one between himself and his opponents. With it he binds up the entire question of his political faith, ® vote for or against himself. It is, be asserts, a question of principles, not persons. Barnes a Representative of Bo Colonel Roosevelt declares that Mr. Root “has ranged himself ngainst the men who stand for progressive pri ciples within the republican party. But it is Willlam Barnes, Jr. of New Fork, he says, who is to be the real head of the Taft canvass at Chicago. Characterizing Mr. Barnes as ‘“the ryopresentative of the very worst forms ©f bossism in politics.” ho asserts that Po progressive delegate can afford to Wote for any man proposed by him. “The great majority of the republi- tan party,” Colonel Roosevelt asserts, Yhave unequivocally repudiated Mr. Taft” The comvention if left to itself, he mays, will be heavily against Mr. Taft, whose whole chance of winning @epends “upon his hopes and plans for pecuring improper action by the na- tional committe May Have To Attedd Convention, The colonel expresses the opinion that enough Taft men on the com- mittee will “decline to permit them- elves to be made tools for accomplish- ment of his re-ngmination by improp- er methode.” - Colonel Roésevelt's decision to make issues of the seating of Mr. Root was reached after a long conference with several of his advisers. After Colonel Roosevelt had complet- #d his statement he brought up the guestion of whether he is to go to the Chicago convention. “After hearing what the men I have peen today have to say,” he said, “my impressfon is that I will not go. I may reach a different decision, if any $irong-arm tactics are attempted.” Text of Statement. Folowing is the statement: In the past Mr. Root has rendered distingulshed service as secretary of state and secretary of war. But in this eontest Mr. Root ranged himself #gainst the men who stand for pro- Eressive principles within the republi- can party, that is, against the men who wtand for making the republican party in relation to the issues of the present day what it was in the days of Abra- ham Lincoln. He stands as the repre- wentative of the men and the policies of reaction. He is put forward hy the bosses and the representatives of spe- clal privileges. Barnes’ Message to Delegates.

Senator Brandegee on the Annexation of Cuba. (Special to The Bulletin.) Washington, June 3.—In a cloak- room discussion of the question of should Cuba be taken over by the United States and administered as a part of the possessions of this country one day last week, Senator Brandegee was asked his views. “Cuba,” said he, ‘of all the former Spanish possessions, is the only one that would have been any real value to us. The Philippines have been an expense from the day we got them. Cuba, lying as she does in a position to guard the Panama canal, would be a protection to the United States. No American wants to take possession of that island whereon we have established a republic, but the people of Cuba must guarantee to its citizens a stable and a safe govern- ment and maintain law and order, If the pegple of Cuba cannot or will not do this, then ultimately we will be bound to take the Island over and de- velop it and make it what it should be if her people are given the epportunity and know that their rights will be re- spocted, their property protected from rebellion and revolution and their lives at all times safe.” Bridgeort, Conn., June 3—Casptain James Redicon was arrested tonight on his coal barge in the harbor by De- tectlve Fox of this city, charged with being implicated in the murder of Captaln John Hertyn of the barge Mas, &t Houth Amboy, last Thursday, Two Motorcyclists Killed.

Mueller of the executive hu:\rd' of the International Hotel Workers’ association was the storm center. His denunciation of the leaders of the trike and their tactics and his appeal to the men to give up their fight for | the recognition of the union provided all their other demands be granted, resulted in much bitterness and his suspension from the organization. More than two thousand_striking waiters at a mass meeting held late this afternoon hissed Mueller, called him traitor and complained loudly about what they termed his betrayal of the union. After his suspension there was talk of expelling him from the union. The strikers do not look upon Mueller's revolt as freighted with seri- ous consequences. During the day and evening ahout 260 waiters and assistants at hotels and restaurants went on strike. Mou- quin's downtown restaurant was obliged to close its doors when 65 waiters and kitchen men walked out.
