Show THE ROOSEVELT PARTY. "The Roosevelt party" Is the name given lo the unorganized but sympathetic sympa-thetic body of Senators who stand for the policies of the President of the United States. The culmination of his struggle with certain powerful elements In the Republican majority of the Senate Sen-ate was, in a general way, fortold long ago. When the President began his appeal to all tho people through his policies, und through his travels and speeches, It required no great prescience presci-ence to foresee that, having passed himself beyond party lines, he would bo compelled to rely and probably not In vain upon Democrats as well as Republicans to bring his measures to fruition. The Roosevelt party constitutes a clear majority in the Senate; and If It were a formal oiganlzatton, with a common partisan purpose and under such discipline as common interest and common name permit, there would be no likelihood of the failure of any of his material purposes. Unfortunately for the President, the tie .which binds his adherents Is so frail and Is In such danger of being snapped by somo partisan par-tisan or personal Interest, that his outlook out-look Is doubtful If not disheartening. For Instance, It Is nlmost certain that a majority of the Senate are In favor of the Philippine bill, notwithstanding the adverse action of the committee; and yet, If Senator Lodge shall succeed In bringing the measure, by parliamentary parliamen-tary tactics before the body It Is extremely ex-tremely Improbable that It can be passed or even brought to a vote. An Intelligent, but practically valueless, discussion Is all that President Roosevelt Roose-velt may reasonably expect. Tho recession from President Roosevelt Roose-velt of some of the strongest elements of his party In Ihe Senate of the United States Is not entirely uncomplimentary to him, for his motive has been one of general servlco to the country. At the same time he Is encountorlng the not unnatural fate of the Executive who seeks to guide Congress In Its deliberations deliber-ations and who takes a vivid personal Interest In the legislative contest. However How-ever meritorious may bo the measures which the Executive proposes, however exalted his motive In behalf of the Interests In-terests of the country Is to be regarded. Congress resents, and the Senate particularly par-ticularly objects to anything which appears ap-pears like dictation from the White House. And that Is more markedly true where the policies hit so far. advanced ad-vanced as to seem revolutionary to the conservative business Interests, which arc now being guarded as never before by the Senate of the United States. It Is possible that the President may succeed In Imparling coheslveness to his party, and If so he will have achieved an unparalleled triumph; ho will have plucked victory from defeat, and history will mark him as the most masterful of the Presidents |
