THE MORXIXG OREG0XIAX, WEDXESDAT. OCTOBER 2, 1907. ASK ROOSEVELT TO DOUBLE GROSS Third-Termers Would Place Him in Very Awkward Position. TWO CLASSES OF THESE One Advocates His Renomlnatlon Through Faith in Roosevelt and Oilier for Reasons of Politics. President Committed to Taft. OREOONIAX NEWS BUREAU, Washington, Oct. 1. There are two classes of men advocating- the renoml natlon of President Roosevelt those who sincerely believe In the advlsa bllity of prolonging his tenure, and those who, by alllgning themselves thus publicly with the Administra tion, hope to derive some personal po litical benefit thereby. It is often hard to distinguish between the two classes, and therefore difficult to gauge the real strength of the movement to compel the President to accept another nomi nation. It is natural that there should be a considerable sentiment in favor of re nominating: President Roosevelt, for Ms Administration has met with very general approval, and his personal popularity exceeds that of any other President In late j-ears. But the Presi dent has declareM unequivocally that ho doe3 not desire and will not accept another nomination, and he has furthermore told some of his most en thusiastic supporters that they are not doing him a friendly act by advocating his nomination In face of his well known attitude. These statements, taken in connection with his char acteristic frankness and honesty of purpose, would seem to leave no room to doubt that the President will not accept another nomination under any circumstances. Strange Change of Front. It is a notable fact that some of the most enthusiastic shouters for a third term are men who until recently were not conspicuously identified with the Administration. They were not on In tlmato terms with the President, but have rather been antagonistic to Roosevelt's policies. When such men change their tactics it is time to take notice and ask "Why?" Usually there Is an intimation that the personal equation is at least partially respon sible. When Senator Bourne of Oregon first publicly declared in favor or renomi nating President Roosevelt, Senator Uansbrough, of North Dakota, came out In indorsement of the proposition. Soon It was declared in the press that Hans brough was to be Major-General, com manding the Third Term forces in the Northwest. During his senatorial career, Hansbrough has never befcVe been reckoned a particular . friend of the Administration. On the contrary he had the reputation of belonging to the anti-Administration crowd in the Senate. Certainly as chairman of the Sonate Public Lands committee. Mr. Uansbrough did not exert himself to put through the Administration's public land policies, yet he was in a position to do more than any other Senator to bring about the reforms in the hind laws, which were so ear nestly recommended by the President time and again. Personal Equation May be Reason. Perhaps the personal equation en tered into the case of Mr. Hansbfough. The North Dakota Senator admits that he will have a hard tight for re-pli-i tlon when his present term expires March 3. 1909. The time is approach ing when the all-powerful North Da kota Legislature is to be chosen. Mr. Uansbrough tlnds himself handicapped by a railroad reputation. He has wlt noMsod the recent defeat of the rail road crowd in the adjoining state, which swept out of office two Con gressmen elected by railroad influence, and which foreshadowed the defeat of Senator Kittredge, the leader of the railroad faction in South Dakota poli tics. Mr. Uansbrough does not want to face a like defeat. Quite natural, then, that fie should want to be known as a friend of the President; quite natural that he should take up the thlid-terni cry. that being the most conspicuous way In which he could make It appear that he is on intimate terms with the President. This case is cited merely as an illus tration. There have been a number of Congressmen who have been as enthusi Hsilc over the third term movement as Is Srbntor Uansbrough; but all Con-. gressnien come up for re-election next year, and those who have advocated the renomlnatlon of the President hail from states where the President is Intensely popular and where it adds to a man's strength to be known ns a friend pt the llonsevelt Administration. Not all of the men clamoring for a third term are prompted by selfish motives; but a great many of them are. This applies largely to Republican office-holders or to those who are aspirants for public office. There could not be the selfisii interest In the case of the everyday citizen, who has nothing to gain or luso as a result of the decision of the next Republican conven tion. President Is Unwilling. Those men who are booming the third term for the sake of politics would have mmy sailing If the President were willing to accept another nomination, but all their plans arc- blocked by the President himself, who has a deeper Interest in tills movement than any other man. In ordinary circumstances Republican poli ticians would be scrambling to get on the Roosevelt band wagon by now If It were not for the declaration of the President that he will not accept another nomination. Were he a candidate In any cense of the word his nomination could he made certain long in advance of the assembling of the convention, but he is tiot a candidate, and those men who have absolute faith in the President are Inking him at his word and are no longer talking of renominating him against his will. If Roosevelt were considering accept ing the nomination should it come to him trom a unanimous convention, he would not today be doing his utmost to advance the Taft boom. He would never have let it be known that he favored Taft as against other candidates; he ouhl never have encouraged Taft to be come a candidate. Taft is one of the President's closest friends. Cannot Desert Taft. To desert Taft and accept the nomi nation for himself would be an act. more Infamous than the President's bitterest pneniles have ever charged against him; It would be an act of Infidelity never be fore equaled in American politics. Yet the third-termers are asking the Presi dent to give Taft the double cross. They r doing more they are asking him to five the double cross to every Republican candidate !n the field. Not one among them would have entered the race If President Roosevelt had expressed the slightest desire for a renomination he cause they would have known it would have been useless to do so. Yet Taft, Hughes, Knox, Cannon, Fairbanks and LaFollette are all looking toward the nomination, each one assuming the President meant what he said. The third-termers take the view that in the selection of a Presidential candi date the personal wishes of the man hinv self may be utterly Ignored. They would he does not want; they would force him into a most embarrassing position regard less of his own feelings. If this senti ment does not die out before the con vention assembles stjme of the Roose velt boomers are sure to e In evidence., and they may give the President a few uneasy hours. The situation seems to justify the old adage, "Deliver me from my friends, and I will take care of my enemies." TIDELAND SALES ILLEGAL Thought That Raymond Real Estate Must Be Sold Again. OLYMPIA. Wash., Oct. 1. (Special.) All the recent sales of state tidelands near Raymond, Pacific County, may be set aside. The state laws provide that ttaeianas In front of Incorporated cities are first-class tidelands and may only be sold by the state after they have been platted Into lots and blocks. second- class tidelands may be sold unplatted. After the state had arranged to sell as second-class these tidelands. Raymond became an incorporated town. This was before the actual sale took place, but after the notice of sale had been pub lished. The Land Office has asked the Attorney-General for an opinion and In formally he has given out that he is of tne belief all the sales made are void. that the state must proceed to plat the ianas, reappraise and conduct a new sale. a procedure which will take' many montns. SELLING FARMS BY LOT Offer of $10,000 tojf First Choice on Shoshone Tract. SALT LAKH Utah. Oct. 1. A special to the Herald from Shoshone, Ida., an nounces great interest in the land draw ing Instituted by the North Side Land & Water Company, which disposed of 140,000 acres today by lot. There were 1796 names registered and it was said that S10.000 had been offered for the option of the first chooser. The first name drawn was that of W. P. Price. Harrison, Mo. Arthur W. Stark, of Stanley, Wash., was second. Joseph Nelson, State Superintendent of schools In Minnesota, was fifth. Despite a hard rain there was a large attendance at the auction of lots in the new town of Jerome and real estate to the value of J100.000 was sold. DISPELS THE WAR CLOUDS (Continued, from First Page.) great resources would be wasted in a vast equipment which would serve no good purpose, but would tempt the nation into warlike policies. Why should she wish for war In which all the evils of society flourish and all vultures fatten? She is engaged in establishing a Govern ment of law and order in the Philippines, fitting those people by general education to govern themselves. "It has been suggested that we might relieve ourselves of this burden by the sale of the islands to Japan or some other country. The suggestion is absurd. Japan does not wish for the Philippines. She has problems of a similar nature nearer home. More than this, the United States could not sell the islands to another power without the grosses't viola tion of Its obligations to the Filipino people. "Under these circumstances, then, could there be anything more wicked, more Infamous, in the suggestion of war between two nations who have enjoyed such time-honored friendship and who have nothing to fight for? "Some one asks why such reports and rumors of war? Capacity of certain members of the modern press by sen sational dispatches to give rise to un founded reports has grown with im provement of communication vbetween distant parts of the world. Newspapers Cause War Talk. "The desire to sell papers, the desire for political reasons to embarrass the existing Government or others, and even less justifiable motives have led to mis statements, misconstruction and un founded guesses, all worked into terrify ing headlines which have no foundation whatever. "In each country, doubtless, there are responsible persons that a war would or might make prominent, who try to give seriousness to such diffusions. But when one considers the real feelings of. the two people as a whole, when one considers the situation from the stand point of the sanity and real patriotism of each country, it is difficult to char acterize In polite, moderate language, the conduct of those who are attempting to promote misunderstandings and Ill-feeling between the two countries. "It gives me a pleasure to assure the people of Japan that the good-will of the American people towards Japan is as warm and es cordial as ever. The sug gestion of a breach in the amicable re lations between them finds no confirma tion In public . opinion in - the tinned States." Mr. Taft said it gave him great pleas ure to bring this message of goodwill from President Roosevelt. Mr. Taft's speech was greeted with en thusiastic applause. After the banquet the assembly-room was the scene of a re markable manifestation of good-will, everybody congratulating everybody else on what was considered to be a "com plete removal of the little cloud" which had been hanging over the 50 years' friendship between the United States and Japan. TAFT'S BUSIEST DAY IX JAPAN Received by Foreign Minister Re ceives American Residents. TOKIO, Oct. L Noon. Secretary Taff 8 busiest day in Japan began with a luncheon given in his honor by Foreign Minister Hayashi at the Arsenal, which was attended by all the officials of the government departments, making it the most brilliant function of his visit. Re plying to the speech of welcome delivered by the War Minister, Lieutenant-General Tarauchl. Mr. Taft made his acknowl edgment of the courtesy extended to him and his delight at being once more In Japan. . After the luncheon. Mr. Taft, accom panied by the staff of the American Km hassy, went to Yokohama, where he held a reception of American residents. The party returned to Tsklo later and will be ihe guests tonight at dinner of H. Per cival Dodge, First Secretary of the American Embassy. BATQNY! TO FIGHT Divorce Suit Served by Whip's Millionaire Wife. - TO SAVE HER MILLIONS She Obeys Father's Order to Leave Man She Loves, but He De clares He Will Fight the Divorce With Vigor. NEW YORK. Oct. 1. (Special.) Suit for divorce has been brought by Mrs. Aurel Batonyi, formerly Mrs. Burke Roche, against Aurel Batonyi, a noted whip, to whom she was secretly mar ried two years ago. Mr. Batonyi was more or. less surprised when summonses in three actions were served on fiiln Monday night at the Hotel Empire. One was marked "for divorce" and the others, the nature of which was not in any way indicated, were denoted "No. 1" and "No 2." Mr. Batonyi's intention of starting for Europe today on the steamship Kaiser Wllhelm seems to have been the cause of the hurried service of the summons. He declared that he would remain rlere and fight the cases with vigor, especially the one for divorce. Mrs. Burke-Roche, who was Miss Frances Work, was first married to James B. Burke-Roche, a British sub ject, who took a prominent part in Irish affairs. They became estranged and she and her children came to this country to live, spending most of their time with her father, Frank Work, who Is wealthy. His villa, Elmcourt, in Newport, was al ways open to her and It was there that some of her notable social successes were achi'eved. Her daughter. Miss Cynthia Roche, a year ago last June was mar ried to Arthur Scott Burden. Mr. Batonyi is an Australian by birth. After arriving In this country he de voted himself to coaching and aoon be came noted as an adept with -the rib bons. He was a striking figure at the horse show in Madison. Square Garden, where his driving attracted much atten tion. Mrs. Roche engaged him to look after her horses and her estate. Two Mile Farm, near Newport, and on him devolved the management of the estab lishment. They were married on August 9, 19e5. Recently she left him under pain of hav ing her children disinherited by her fathejj. LANDS NINE-POUND TROUT Martin Laughlin Makes a Record Catch In the Big Klickitat. LTLE, Wash., Oct I. (Special.) Mar tin Laughlin, the well-known contractor and builder, of Vancouver and Golden dale, and an angler of some repute, on last Friday made the record big catch of the season in the Big Klickitat River. Among the catch was a rainbow trout (Salmo Irldeus) that weighed nine pounds and measured 29 inches in length. . The remarkable feature of the incident to chronicle in landing this monster trout was the fact that an ordinary trout hook was used, and the gamey fish was al lowed to drown before being taken from the water. The catch was made at Maddock' Min eral Springs, on the C. R. & Nv Ry., 18 miles from Lyle. Some years ago, for diversion, Mr. Laughlin engaged In the sheep business, and his duties et that time brought him on the Big Klickitat. Occasionally to his great delight he would angle successfully, and since that time he has learned the points where the trout frequent the river from Mount Adams to Lyle. "Martin," as he is best known to per sonal friends, always adapts his lures to the season and weather. When on the river he is embellished with all the ha biliments oi "Ike ' Walton, and among his chief accoutrements is a good pair of sporting gum boots that enable him to wade in the stream over knee deep. This time of year he uses fresh salmon eggs iur (jail.. GOLD CROPS OUT OX SURFACE Rich Strike of Yellow Metal Made by Medford Prospectors.

Garfield and Alford Cooley Have Fast Game. WASHINGTON, Oct. 1. (Special.) In a simple, straightforward way the Bishop of London today said that it was he who won the famous tennis game at the White House last Friday. The other three players. President Roosevelt, James R. Garfield and Alford W. Cooley, have kept the result a secret, but today a curious person approached the Bishop as he was about to leave for Richmond to attend the general convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church. "I suppose you will not tell me who won that tennis match?" he asked. "Certainly I will," answered the Bishop "I did." S- It is many a day since an athletic event at the White House attracted so much attention as the tennis game which was scheduled for last Saturday and played on Friday with only one spectator, the resident s warm personal friend, Silas McBee, editor of the Churchman, as whose guest the Lord Bishop came to the United States. The best plav was that of the Bishop and Mr. Coolev. It Is no disrespect to say that President Roosevelt Is not and does not pretend to 'be as fast or hard a tennis player as some oX his young friends, and on this day at least, Mr. Garfield's game seemed to be a bit off, possibly because he works Incessantly at the duties of his official post and gives less attention than formerly to outdoor sport.
