PRESIDENTIAL
ITIES.
POSSIBIL.
The Oregonian admits t at Senator
Foraker, of Ohio, lias it in his power to
control a number of the Ohio delegates
to the Krpublican National Convention,
and thereby prevent Secretary Tail's
unanimous indorsement. This is pr b
ably more than would have bn admit
ted some time agj, while the Taft boom
ers claimi'd 111 it Foraker lial vt-t lifit
Influence in Itisown State, and that hhj
opposition rto certain administration
measures, (notably the mustering out
of certain colored troops) had deprived
him of liis strength with tha voters. As
a matter of fact, Secretary,. Taft' boom
is dead and even the President, as an
nounced in the dipatcnei is no longer
strenuous in his suiiDort. It is well fW
the Republican parly that this is , and
as well for all concerned if the President
refrains from attempting to coercs the
Republican National Convention into
being a mere machine to tegisler bis will.
The big stick has been ever worked
and idolatry has had Its rnn. The people
approve of manv tliiia the IV-xU.t
has done, and, were lie serving his fiiet
term, there is no doubt be would ba re
nominated. Secretary Taft a, In our
judgment, the weakest man ithom the
president could have choteufor the nom
ination. He woul I have inherited all
of the President's ericinifrg, but by no
means all of his friend'. 'Some 'Demo
crat would vote for Roosevelt were lie!
renominated, but we have yet to hear
of one who would choose Mr, Taft in
preference to Mr. B rrnn. Mnrt. in anrl.
State as New York and Indiana, where
th labor organization possess great
strength, Mr. T.tft would lose thousands
of Republican vote!).
We believe the prosperity of the coun
try depends, to tome extent, upon the
election of a Republican president. We
i. .... i. j l .
m una wit one experience with nn

Uvj element in tbe party was nnable to
contrd legislation, and the tariff law
was so amended tliat it meant free raw
material for the manufacturers in ome
lines and highly protected firoods for th
cocjumers, while the shadow of free
silver caused men to hoard tbeirgo'd
uniil ail doubt as to 3tir mor.ev standard
bad passed away.
But that Wis fft?en rears sco. and
the great mass of voters need iuot aa
mu Ji instruction on the money question
should it be anjissue, as they did in
thoe day. There is everv reason to
believe the contest in 1!AW will le close
and bitter. Especially is this true in
Onjon, where the Republicans are so
dinarganized as hardly to bo worthy to
be called' a party, and the Democrats,'
unt'er eble leaden-.' stand nrerared t.i
taku advantage of the many blunder of
their opponents.
me uepuoiiuan party needs a man
upon whom all will unite, and at the
present t.'uit it appears as If Governor
