.Prestige of Buckeye Jurist.
OREGOMAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washing-ton, Jan. 5. If Presidential
candidates wero chosen by popular
vote inetpad of by conventions, and
if a general primary could be held to
day, there is little doubt but what
William H. Taft, of Ohio, would be
chosen to lead the Republicans in the
next Presidential contest But Presi
dential candidates are not nominated
by the people, and therein lies the dan
ger to the so-called Taft boom.
Machine politicians, well aware of
Taft's strengrth, are vigorously plot
ting- to head off the moves beinf? made
by tbe friends of the Secretary of War,
both 5n Ohio and in the country at
large, and while he Is well aware of
what Is going on. Secretary Taft does
not even turn a hand to checkmate
the men who are doing- their utmost
to keep him out of the White House.
Of all Republicans listed as Presi
dential posst bill ties. Secretary Taf t

day maklnsr a contest for the nomi
nation. - Fairbanks has been at work:
for more than a yes.r; Fomker is Just
now doing: more than any othfr of the
poflslbilitles. Secretary Shaw, while
not longer sitting: up ntsbts to nurse
nis noom. - is keeping a. watchfbi ojro
on the country, though he begins to
realize that his "chances are slight
since his political enemy. Governor
Cummins, has control of the organiza
tion in Iowa. Speaker Cannon has the
Illinois delegation In the palm of his
hand, but be is grlvins: bis entire at
tention . to his work as Hpeaker,
though he made considerable hay last
Summer. Secretary Taft sits ralmly
at his desk In the War Department.
occasionally shoolnfc away the little

entire energy to the work that falls
upon him as Secretary of War and
right-hand mun to the President.
Ohio the Storm Ccntf r,
Interest in the Presidential g-ame
Just now centers in Ohio. Porakcr,

On guard ftt home, lest his control may
be wrested from him. but at the same
time he is devoting attention to otlior
sections of the country, hoping by the
time the nominating convention meets
to be hailed not only as Ohio's ' favor
ite son. but as tho flrat choice of many
other states.- Foraker fears that his
hold In Ohio may bo broken, not by
Taft himself, but by his loyal friends,
foremost among them Representative
Burton, chairman of the House com-
mlttee on rivers and harbors.
Koralter and his ally. Senator TMck. are
much more experienced in political trick
ery than Burton or Taft; Fbrakcr would

The Republican party of Ohio is and has
been long controlled by a machine, t
machine politics has always governed.
If machine politics is "to continue. For
aker may be able to hold his control for
the next IS months, unless there should
be a popular uprising that would bring
Taft and Burton out on top. But nothing
short of a reform wave is likely to bring
this about, particularly as Secretary Taft
refuses to become an active candidate
for ti.e Presidency or an active bldde
for the support of the next Ohio d.el?a&'
tion.
Office should Seek Man,
fl in the Judiciary. He does not be-
Secretary Taft harbors the old-fashion
ed Idea that the office should seek the
man; not the man the office. He has the
utmost respect for the office of Presiden-
and believes that the old rule applies
to that particular position with more
force than to any other. He baa another
old-fashioned idea that when a man holds
public office he should devote his entire
time and energy to the duties of that
office, and not use his position as a lever
to promote his' own political or financial
welfare. Being- Secretary of War, he
does not believe it becomes him to seek:
a " Presidential nomination. That sami
spirit has characterized Mr. Taft since
he first took, his scat on a Federal
bench.
It has long been an open secret that
Taft Is Roosevelts choice among the nu
merous Presidential aspirants, but the
President has never made public an-
nouncement or that (act, nor is he likely
to do so. Tie President hopes for Taft's
success. - and he realizes that any an
nouncement from the. White House would
be construed as an attempt to dictate to
the party, and would probably do more
injury than good to the man whom he
regards as best equipped to succeed him.
Taft, on the other hand, docs not seek
and will not seek any expression from
the President. If he is to be nominated
he wants the nomination to come as an
expression of the rill of the party and
Xaft Not an Of flceseeUer.
Had Secretary Xaft Deen . a chrotilo
eeeKer after the Presidency his public
career would probably have been, pat
terned differently. In the discharge of
his official duties he would have shirked
certain responsibilities that fell to his
lot. and would have side-stepped some
delicate problems which he has actually .
handled without gloves. For Instance,
he would not have gone to Idaho last
Fall to champion the cause of law and
order, when by so doing he wa& sure to
arouae the enmity of a certain element of
union labor. No more would he have
taken occasion to uphold the President's
action In dischar&inf? three companies
of negro troops. Going further back In
wb career, had Taft been looking toward
the Presidency he would not have been
so vigorous In issuing injunctions against
labor unions that were violating the
law, nor would he have insisted that all
injunctions be obeyed.
secretary Taft spoke truly when he
ild his ambition was not riolltlcal.
His training haa been in the judiciary
and his fondest hope, even today, is to
land In the post of greatest honor to
or his profession, the office of
chief justice of the Supreme Court.
This does not mean that he would not
appreciate a Presidential nomination,
for he would. Indeed, he would ap-
preciate it more than any man now
seeking; the office. But clinginj? to
his old-fashioned ideas. .Secretary Taft
conscientiously believes that his place
1
lieve he is as well equipped for th
Presidency as some others. It may be
modesty; It may be something else; but
whatever it is, Secretary Taft Is not
laying any plans to capture the Presi
dential nomination, and he Is not wor
rying for fear the nomination will not
be tendered him, Apparently he has no
concern whatever, so far as he person
ally Is affected, over what the next Re
publican National convention may do.
Ho Is the Best Timber.
TMsregardlng Secretary Taft's eetl
ate of himself, it is interesting to
note that leading Republicans who are
not committed to any aspirant are
practical J y unanimous in the opinion
that Taft Is far better equipped for
the Presidency than any other man
now mentioned for the office. Fair
banks In not In the same class with
iim. With Fairbanks in the White
House the corporations would have no
concern about the GovMnmental Inter-
ference. Men In high place, who have
been despoiling: the public, domain.
would have no concern, provided they
were strong political y. The country
would have an administration strongly
akin to that tinder President Roosevelt.
save tli at Palrbanks would he even
m or inclined to listen to tli dictation
of Wail Strt and the big corporations
of the Nation, of ail the Republicans
ndw in the" race, Fairbanks is the most
popu lar with the corporations, bee an so
he would he most apt to do their blil -
ding, but therein lies Fairbanks weak-
nees, for this fact is known to tin
country and in this area of reform it
would' be disastrous for the Republican
party to name Falrhanka. Therefore.
the corporationH will not attempt 10
force his nomination, knowing that
by so doing they would almost cer
tal nly fore- tli elect I on of a Oemo
crat. probably Bryan, whom they fear.
Foraker a Corporation Man.
Tn the Inst session of Congress Sen
ator F'oraker was dubbed a "rail road
Senator," and tbe country became Jm-
bued with the idea that he was repr-
sen ting the corporations, and not th
people In the Senat. No doubt F'ora
ker would give much more heed to the
corporations than would Taft. He has
not the same independence: hp has not
that same loyalty to the public. Fora
ker is a clever machine politician.' and
as such would gain much corporate
support. Foraker would not wear w
heavy a yoke as Fairbanks: he would
be leas subservient to th will of the
corporations. He ta a man of greater
ability in every way. and hence bet
ter eaulpped for the Presidency; ntifc
when one places Porakcr against Taft.
he nnds as. great a llrererif as by
placing Fairbanks againHt Foraker. The
balance is decidedly in favor ol the
Secretary of War.
Cannon Boom Not Serious.
Vory few politicians give serious
consideration to tho Cannon boom: U
appears to have reached Its zenith. But
for his age. the Speaker would b very
much in evidence. Rut a man who will
be 72 years old at the closed Presi
dent Roosevelt's term Is not likely to
be chosen B-k the party leader in tile
next Kreat rampalgn. The Shaw boom
has all but collapsed. The Secretary
himself is losing no sleep over his po-
Htlcal future. He is looking" about for
a lucrative berth In the commercial or
flnanctal world, and there is little
doubt that he will find one that will
prove much more profitable, In dollars
and cents, than would be a term in the
White Mouse.
- The contest then centers in Ohio, and
unless there shall be a marked change
in the trend of events, the next scram
ble for the "Republican nomination will
be between Forakf r and his friends and
the friends of Secretary Taft.
Foraker Has Strong Supporter.
F'oraker is in a position to receive
the support of many powerful Republl-
cans in the Senate. Theee friends have
already shown their hands. Kenator
Aldrlch of Rhode Island, in undisputed
control of - that state, stands ready to
deliver the Rhode Island delegation to
Foraker. Aldrich does not want Taft.
Senator Penrose, who manages by hook
or crook to Tetaln control of the dis
figured Quay machine, has let It be
known that Pennsylvania will present
the name of Senator Knox at the next
convention. Knox is not a candidate
any more than Taft. and the corpora
tions do not want him. any more than
they wantecj Roosevelt or Root How
ever. Penrose is for Foraker, and has
thrown the name of Knox Into the field
to create consternation, in the hope
that a multitude of candidates win en-
able the machine men to checkmate
the Taft supporters. That is all the
newly launched Knox boom is for. and
it would not be surprising if Knox.
would do somethingf that would destroy
the weapon that Penrose hopes to
wield. As a matter of fact. Penrose
would be the last man In the world to
boom Knox if he believed Knox stood
any chance or winning;.
An amusing feature of the early
Presidential tallc ! the announcement
of Senator Burrow, that he will be a
candidate before the next convention.
He can have the Michigan delegation.
no doubt, because no other man from
Michigan wants it. and he might he
