THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, APRIL 22, 1915. 7 T. R. FIGHTS WILSON Ex-President Not to Oppose Republicans, Is Report. MR. BOURNE IS ACTIVE Ex-Senator Believed Aspiring to Cabinet Place People IJCstless to Defeat Democrats, bays Edward D. Baldwin. "That Colonel Roosevelt is so much Interested In seeing President Wilson defeated for re-election that he will do nothing to interfere with Republi can success was the information given me the day before I left Washington by one of the leading Republicans in the inner circles of tho National party organization, " said Edward D. Bald win, wecretary of the Republican State Central Committee, who was at the Imperial Hotel yesterday on his re turn from the National capital by way of the Panama Canal and San Fran cisfo. 'This leader, who does not want his name brought Into public print, also advanced the opinion that ex Senator Jonathan Bourne has aspira tiors in the direction of a cabinet po sition probably that of Postmaster General in tho event of Republican success In 1916. He pointed out that Bourne's present activity in organiz ing an elaborate campaign of Repub lican publicity for the education of the voters of the country doubtless is in furtherance of this ambition, rather than along the line of smoothing the way to re-enter Oregon politics as a Senatorial candidate. Democrats Cause Restlessness. "My observation, in talking with many persons on my 7000-mile trip, has been that the people of this coun try are restlessly waiting to vote for the Republican ticket; that most of them wish the election was next week Instead of next year. The next cam paign should, and I think will. be waged on the economic issue and on the general inadequacy and inefficiency of the Democratic party along the lines of constructive government. "The Democratic donkey is a sick nnlmal. Its only asset at present is a feeling, which really i3 widespread throughout the country, that President Wilson has kept the country out of a war. Yet any high-minded and rea sonably cautious President of any party would have done the same thing. Much as they would like to do so, I doubt if the Democrats can make an issue out of this. The fight will swing around the 'prosperity and full dinner pail' issue, and next year will see a repetition of the McKinley victory. "It is impossible to , make a good guess as to who will be the Republican candidate. The matter is still so be fogged. Borah Believed Promising:. "I believe if the West, from the Mis sissippi River to the Pacific Coast, would unit on Senator Borah he could be nominated against the divided favorite-son strength in the East, and this in spite of the disadvantage of his residence from the standpoint of po litical geography. Justice Hughes is quite a favorite -everywhere and many think he would win by acclamation if he would allow the use of his name. Many other favorite sons are talked about, but none of them seems at pres ent to tower above his rivals. "I believe this is the year of years for the West to come into its own, take advantage of present conditions and elect a President." Mr. Baldwin was the only Oregon passenger on the steamer Northern Pa cific, which arrived in San Francisco April 10. The ship was quarantined a day at San Diego on account of a reported case of smallpox on board. The 60 passengers who landed at that city went through the ordeal of an antiseptic bath and having the con tents of their trunks taken out at the quarantine station, put in large iron cages and baked in a fumigating oven. Oregon Republicans Active. When the ship reached San Fran cisco it was cleared at once on infor mation from San Diego that the case was nothing more than chickenpox. Mr. Baldwin stopped on his way from San Francisco to Portland at Medfoi'd and at Roseburg to visit local Repub lican leaders. He reports that S. S. Smith, State Committeeman of Jackson county, and Bert Anderson, Chairman of the County Committee, already have made plans for an active campaign next Fall. They have arranged for a Republican barbecue in August of this year and hope to have a Republican of National prominence as the princi pal speaker. They also have perfected their precinct organizations through out the county. They predict that Jackson county will be brought into the Republican column next year. J. A. Buchanan, chairman of the Douglas County Republican Commit tee, and Carl D. Shoemaker, secretary, he say, have their organization in splendid shape, and declare that if the Presidential election were to be held tomorrow Douglas would return a Re publican majority 1000 strong. Mr. Baldwin left last night for The Dalles.-where he will resume his duties as private secretary to Representative Sinnott of the Second Oregon District.
