SECOND CHOICE DOUBTFUL
West More In Favor of Renom Illa
tion Than Bast Some Think the
I'rr-idrnt should Be Forced to
Accept, Against Wishes.
OREGONIAN' NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Nov. 20. As public men continue
to gather in Washington, more and more
Is heard about Presidential politics. It is
noticed that the majority of Republicans
from the West are favorable to the re
nomlnation of President Roosevelt. This
sentiment Is not very general with men
from other sections. The following Inter
views have recently appeared In various
Eastern papers, and show tne diversity
of opinion:
Senator Sutherland, of Utah, says:
"Utah will no doubt send a delegation
to the next Republican National Conven
tion which will be favorable to the re
nomlnation of President Roosevelt.
There is some sentiment In the state In
favor of Secretary Taft, but whether It
Is sufficient to elect a delegation that
would vote for him In the convention is
another niatter. For President Roose
velt, however,- the sentiment in favor
of his serving again is almost tan
tamount to a demand that he do so. If
he will accept, he will get the votes of
Utah. If he still declines to accept, and
there la a general movement in the con
vention in favor of mnking him the can
didate despite bis declination, the votes
of Utah will be with It.
West Strong for Roosevelt.
Should he not be a candidate, and
should there be no such movement, it Is
dlfllcult to say what the state delegation
wn;ilri do. If I were to make a guess,
however. It would be that President
Roosevelt will be his own successor in
ofllce. Nine out of every ten men In the
West want him to run again; 1 do not
mean the politicians, but the average men
In the community. They believe that
the policies that he has Inaugurated
should be carried out, and that he is the
best man to carry them out. Much may
happen to change the conditions during
the next few months, but I believe that
they will be the same, as far as the over
whelming demand for the renominatlpn
of the President is concerned."
Ex-Congre.ssmnn Joseph C. Sibley, of
Pennsylvania, says:
"Immediately after his election, Mr.
Roosevelt issued the following statement:
" "Under no circumstances will I be a
candidate or accept another nomination.' "
Rooacrelt May Ran in 1912.
"This declaration has been often re
pciited by him. To question his sincerity
la to doubt his Integrity. The last ex
tended conversation I had with him, just
oefoie his departure for Oyster Bay, last
June, confirmed me In the belief that he
meant precisely what he said on that
subject, and It occurs to me that those
who are strenuously Insistent to the
contrary are doing him no honor, and are
such friends as those from whom one
mlKht well pray for deliverance. Four
or eight years from now President Roose
velt, bound by no pledge, and In viola
tion of no unwritten law, will again be
free to accept public service, and doubt
less ready patriotically to respond to any
call for publicity."
Congressman J. A. T. Hull, of Iowa,
saj's:
Force It on Roosevelt.
"Roosevelt will be renominated, forced
to accept the nomination, and elected
I 'resident for four years more. Bryan
will be the nominee of the Democrats,
and the country will see the hottest cam
paign in history. The trend of political
sentiment Is all to Roosevelt, although
the situation will be complicated if
ilughes should carry the New York dele
gation, and he Is gaining strength raplcjly.
With Roosevelt out of the face. Speaker
Cannon stands as good a chance for nom
ination as anyone."
Representative Edward B. Vreeland,
of New York, ays:
"There Is no pronounced favorite
son movement Just at present In New
York State, and there will be nothing
of this kind until the people are cer
tain that the President will not run
again. It is the general belief that
if the President is nominated by the
convention he will be obliged to accept.
So far, neither Governor Hughes nor
any of his intimate friends have made
any move that can be construed Into
an effort to capture delegates. The
Covernor evidently Intends to maintain
this attitude, and refuses to seek any
thing. So far as the up-state Republi
cans are concerned, they would be for
Roosevelt as between Roosevelt and
Hughes. As between Hughes and an
outsider, they would be for Hughe.s.
I am not posted as to what the other
portions of the state would do as be
tween Roosevelt and Hughes."
Senator Warner, of Missouri, says:
Missouri Wants Taft.
"I am for Taft; and believe that the
delegation to the convention from the
State of Missouri will be for him.
Should Secretary Taft be nominated,
he would be elected, I have no doubt.
What the issue of the campaign will
be la too far off to say."
Senator Cullom, of Illinois, says:
"Of course. Mr. Cannon is In the
race. Not only Is he in the race, but
he will stand a good chance of getting
the nomination when the time comes,
unless the people have indicated In a
decided manner they want some one
else by the time the convention Is
called. Mr. Cannon would not in that
event permit his name to be used."
Representative Scott, of Kansas,
says:
"I think that Kansas will be for
Taft."
Senator Carter, of Montana, says:
Will stik to His Statement.
"I accept In perfect faith the declar
ation of President Roosevelt, and do
not regard him as a candidate for re
election in any sense. The future has
too much in store to warrant any pres
ent prediction us to the man to be
named by the Republican convention."
Ex-Senator Allee. of Delaware, says:
"I am not at liberty to tell what
the President said to me, but I do not
mind saying that I called to tell him
the Republicans of Delaware are anx
ious for him to run again. Until we
hear from him that he will not run. we
will consider him in the race. If he
runs he will, of course, be elected."
Ex-Governor Frantz, of Oklahoma,
says:
"President Roosevelt will be' forced to
accept a second nomination for the Presi
dency, and will be re-elected. The report
that I will run for Congress against Con
gressman McGulre is untrue."
Representative Woodyard of West Vir
ginia says:
Another Leader a Mistake.
"The people of my part of the country
do not believe any other man than Roose
velt can so ably carry on the various re
forms which the President lias instituted,
and believe that it will be a . mistake if
another leader is selected at this crucial
time. Most people believe, also, that Mr.
Roosevelt will find when the proper time
conies that he will have to take the
nomination, because of the general feel
ing that he is needed. The feeling of
which I speak is not the feeling of the
state leaders or the country leaders, but
of the people at large. I believe this
feeling of the people Is common in other
states, also, and that It is a mistake to
believe that the Roosevelt talk is the
work of party leaders alone."
Governor Curry of New Mexico says:
Roosevelt Cannot Be Defeated.
"There is not a man In the whole coun
try or any combination of men that can
dcreat President Roosevelt west of the
Mississippi in case he might show the
slightest inclination to be a candidate.
Indeed, I am of the opinion that the peo
ple of that section will have President
Roosevelt whether or no. and that party
lines will be obliterated If they can force
him to be a candidate. There does not
now seem to be a second choice for the
Republican nomination. If the people are
absolutely convinced that the President
will not make the run, which they will
learn only after he has said so on the
convention floor, I am sure that they will
throw their votes to his candidate, who
ever this may be."
Representative Langley of Kentucky
says :
"I have long heen a student of the life
and teachings of George Washington, and
I am satisfied that If he were alive today
he would rescind what he said about a
man holding the Presidential office three
terms. He would have believed In hang
ing on to such a good man forever if he
had seen Roosevelt."

Portland Company Plans Plant on
Little White Salmon.
Electrin power is to be brought from
the Little White Salmon River, in Wash
ington, to Portland, where It will be used
for the varied purposes to which elec
tricity is put. The Portland Railway,
Light & Power Company owns a valu
able power site there and will develop It
as the needs of the city requires. The
power site was purchased years ago by
the old City & Suburban Railway Com
pany. It came Into the possession of the
present company through the consolida
tion of the old companies. The site com
prises a tract of land of over 2500 acres.
President Josselyn, of the Portland Rail
way. Light & Power Company, returned
yesterday from a visit to the property for
the purpose of inspecting it and deter
mining its possibilities, having never seen
It. He said upon his return yesterday:
"I am very much pleated with the prop
erty and find it will easily develop from
25,000 to 30.000 horsepower. The water will
have a head of approximately UOO feet.
It lies about 60 miles from Portland and
la another reserve power site that will
be developed by our company as soon as
the demand warrants It. The White
Salmon country Is settling up very fast
and with the completion of the North
Bank road. It will be a very prosperous
and growing fruit district. We have al
ready been besieged to sell a part of
the tract we hold to fruitgrowers."
The transmission of this power to Port
land presents no unusual difficulties, al
though the generators will He 6C miles
away and two rivers will have to be
crossed to bring the power Into Port
land's business district. The White Sal
mon power site offers high voltage with
comparatively small outlaj' and the com
pany can therefore afford to lose a small
amount of electricity In transmission.
