NEW. YORK, October 29. (Received October 3U, at 5.5 p.m.)
Senator Root, in the * course of a speech at New York, declared that if President .Taft continued to make as good a'President as he was making now he would be the natural and inevitable candidate for the Presidency in 1912, unless the people of the United States were to repudiate the Taft Administration by such a crushing defeat that it would be apparent that Mr Taft could not be reelected.
It was expected that Senator Root would announce his pledge to ex-Presi-dent Roosevelt regarding the Presidency, but none has been forthcoming. Senator Root denied that Mr Roosevelt contemplated attacking the present American judicial system.
THE SARATOGA CONVENTION. It is stated that Mr Roosevelt's stand at tho Saratoga Convention against the regular Republicans was dictated by a desire to suppress party machinery.
