whs not stood ball, generally speaking,
from a Seattle viewpoint, as Myers and

of wild throwing ever seen in the city.
Allen, however, pitched line ball. Ben

off base hits and handled ground balla

WASHINGTON, April 16. Special Cor
respondem".) The time for deriding that
nil-Important question, "Who Will be.
the Next President?". Is drawing near,
and the politicians and others are wsktng
IV-as than fiO days remain In which to
plan the nomination of the man who
will Ipad the Republican party tf vic
tory, or If a mistake Is made. snd It to
Ignominious defeat. Many there are who
may smile, st this snd nay: "That's al!
settled, as TaXt will he the nominee on
the first ballot." Klity days ao this
would be true had the eon vent it ti sat
at that time, but W days hence will see
some marvelous changes In the situation.
Of all the candidates in the field to
day. Taft Is the strongest yet In that
streiiKtti lies his weakness. Taft Is not.
nor can he be the people's choice. But
from the first he has ben the Presi
dent's choice, and because the people
Idolize Kooeveit they have tacitly ac
cepted Taft. Vet there Is an undercur
rent of feellne and resentment aqatnst
presidential legateeshtp which Is spread
ing, not only among the common people.
but to the politicians and leaders through
out the country. No people want a candi
date foisted on them either by a ma
chine or an Individual, even though that
Individual be our popular President. If
they cannot get what they want, they at
least demnnd the privilege of choosing
for themselves out of the available tim
ber offered, preferring to make a mistake
In their own judgment rather than ac
cept the ready-made article.
The country as a whole has absolute
confidence in the honesty 'and sincerity
of Roosevelt, regardless of party affilia
tions, and while Roosevelt would receive:
25 per cent of the Democratic vote, Taft
would receive absolutely none of It. A
great part of the labor vote will be
against Taft on account of certain de
cisions of his while on the bench, and
the colored vote will hold him responsible
for the Brownsville affair, for the rea
son that Roosevelt acted on recommen
dations of the War Department, of which
Secretary Taft was the head. While no
reasonable man will take issue with the
verdict rendered on that occasion still
the unreasonable, smarting under an
imaginary humiliation on account of
racial prejudice, will retaliate blindly on
the object of their hatred. And votes
count.
I passed through Omaha a few days
ago, and Taft and I were in the town !
at the same time. I escaped unnoticed. I
and from a certain paper whose columns
should have "been dotted with stars, all we !
learned of Mr. Taft's visit was that he
ate a beefsteak that weighed several
pounds before he hypnotized It. The
paper was full of what Mr. Taft said
about making the beefsteak look sick, etc.
But nowhere did I see that the people
went wild with enthusiasm over the big
Secretary, and In fact the only people
mentioned In connection with the affair
were politicians who were there to be
eounted. At the same time, Mr. Bryan
was swinging round the circle In the
Middle West, and the sum waa shining
all the time.
There is another factor that enters Into
this contest unknown in former cam
paigns, and which seems to have been
overlooked, and that Is the absence of
political bosses, like Hanna. Quay, Piatt
and the score of -others who made and
unmade Presidents, and who are dead
or relegated to the shades of inocuous
desuetude. This also may be of small
moment, but nevertheless, at the con
vention there 'will be no man or set of
men to dictate the policies of any dele
gation, and the result may be disastrous
to the fortunes of the Republican party.
For. as sure as Mr. Taft is nominated.
Just as sure will Mr. Bryan be elected
as he, like Roosevelt, Is the candidate
of the people.
No one for a moment questions th
sincerity of Mr. Roosevelt In desiring the
nomination of Mr. Taft. but Mr. Roose
velt must learn that the American peo
ple are the most emotional of any race
on earth, as many idols of the people
can bear witness, and that it is one
thing to secure for himself the highest
gift In their power. ad quite another
to usurp the people's rights and hand
the gift to an Innocent third party. Con
sequently, the result will be the nomina
tion of Mr. Roosevelt or Mr. Taft, and
the election of Mr. Roosevelt or Mr.
Bryan.
It seems quite likely, however, that If
Mr. Roosevelt should be nominated Mr.
Bryan will not be a candidate, as the
issue would then be on party lines and
Mr. Bryan could not hope to win, and
he is too astute a politician to voluntarily
offer himself as a sacrifice again on the
altar of Democratic ambition.
Tt has been proclaimed that Mr. Taft
will carry out the Roosevelt policies, that
Mr. Roosevelt believes that he will do
so, and that is why the people consider
him at all. Will he do so? Mr. Taft is
Considered friendly to the "interests."
and recently said he would be Independ
ent of the so-called Roosevelt policies.
When this reached the White House
there was a noise like an infant cyclone
tugging at Its chains, and Mr. Taft heard
It. He could not get the wires quick
enough to deny the statement, and now
the papers are having some fun at his
expense by publishing his denial that
if elected he will not be independent.
There seems to be a growing suspicion
that Mr. Roosevelt will wake up to
find that he has been deceived In Mr.
Taft, so far as carrying out his policies
are concerned, and that Mr. Taft's sym
pathies are with the "Interests." But
the aforesaid "interests" are themselves
becoming a little timid about indorsing
Mr. Taft for the reason that he Is said
to be a pronounced free-trader, while Mr.
Roosevelt stands for protection. Conse
quently, the "interests" are giving more
attention to the case as it draws near'to
contention time, and are seriously de
bating the question as to whether Mr.
Roosevelt with his big stick, a square
deal and protection to American indus
tries. Is not preferable to Mr. Taft, with
his broad smile, plastic disposition and
free-trade tendencies. It will be easy
to guess the answer, as self-preservation
is the first law of nature, and both
friendship and hatred ceases where busi
ness Interests are likely to be affected.
This view is confirmed by the utterances
of Judge Gary, president of the Steel
Trust, who practically indorses Roose
velt and who admits that the large cor
porations must obey the laws.
We have another factor in the game
and that Is the Influence of the other
at-pi rants for the presidency, and their
friends: Strange as it may appear, they
do not blame Mr. Roosevelt so much, for J

pushlntt Mr. Taft to the front as thry
do Mr. Taft for being pushed. The fact
remains that Knox, of Pennsylvania,
who Is more than a mere shadow among
the possibilities, will throw his strength
tn Mr. Roosevelt rather than see- the
nomination go to Mr. Taft. Mr. Fora
kcr, who is very pronounced in his hos
tility to Mr. Roosevelt, is said to have
expressed the same purpose. In private,
nf rnnrse. hut those who understand the
hitter rivalry between Mr. Taft and
himself for control of Ohio, do not hesi
tate to predict Mr. Foraker's support,
not so much for Mr. .- Roosevelt
against Mr. Taft. Mr. Fairbanks is In
the same class, and it has been said
that Senator "Jim" Hemenway ot In
diana, stated that if Mr. Taft was nomi
nated he believed Indiana would give
Mr. Brvan a majority of oO.fW. and that
if Mr. Roosevelt received the nomination
he would carry the state by io,0no to 100,
000. It is also said that if 1t would not
jeopardize the nomination, a compli
mentary role would be given to Mr.
Cannon, after which Illinois would go
solid for Mr. Roosevelt. Senator I.a
Follctte makes no secret of his prefer
ence for Mr. Roosevelt, and his state,
and In fact all the Western states whose
people love the fighting man, will drop
into line.
Senator Henry Cabot Idge, of Mas
sachusetts, would like to throw his state
to Mr. Taft, but his colleague. Senator
W. Murry Crane, is In favor of New
England supporting Mr. Roosevelt, as the
manufacturing interests there must be
protected. And here the cool business
head must prevail. Mr. Hughes W per
haps not as much a factor now as he
was a fw weeks ago. and It is openly
hinted that New York will jump on the
Roosevelt band wagon.
There was a time when Senator Bourne
was a mark for ridicule, on account of
his second-elective term propaganda, but
It is only necessary to get next to those
who know and you wiU find that the
sentiment among the big guns is gradu
ally coming around to his view point. I
had a talk with W. H. Andrews, the
member from New Mexico, who was for
20 years "Mat" Quay's right-hand man
and chairman of the Republican State
Central Committee of Pennsylvania. He
has been In politics for 40 years, has per
haps more experience in the making and
unmaking of Presidents than any man
now in 'the public eye and he is as ardent
a supporter of Mr. Roosevelt for the
nomination as is Senator Bourne, and
what Is more, says that Mr. Roosevelt
is the only man who can beat Mr.
Brvan. He says that Mr. Bryan will
carry all of the South, and hat al! the
Democratic vote and a large part of the
Republican vote will go against any man
but Mr. Roosevelt. From his experience
in the game. I would say that It might be
well not to underestimate his predic
tions. To those who are wont to smile t
Senator Bourne's hobby. It Is well to
remind them that he is not a fool, but
an extremely shrewd politician, and here
in Washington the men who are rated
high and who do things do not hesitate to
consult with him, and among these is no
less a person than the President. While
Senator Bourne Is not running a press
bureau to advise his constituents as to
what he Is doing In their Interests, my
Impression la that some day the people
of Oregon will wake up to find that they
have been fairly well represented.
In the meantime. I would recommend
that Oregon should send her delegates to
the National Convention pledged for Mr.
Roiwevelt. or If this Is not possible, send
them unpledged, so that they can be In
a position to get on the right ride at

the opportune moment, which I am con
fident will arrive, as there Is no ques
tion as to how the people of Oregon fel
towards Mr.i Roosevelt. I would also
suggest that Senator Bourne be made a
delegate, as Oregon owes it to him and
to herself, that the man who has so
persistently advocated the re-election of
President Roosevelt, and foresaw for
several years what would be necessary
for the preservation of the Republican
party, should participate in the honor
which will certainly come to Oregon
when Mr. Roosevelt is declared the
nominee at the Chicago convention
which is now practically admitted in poli
tical circles.
