THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND. MAT 17, 1908. 11 WILLHAME BRYAN SAYS ROOSEVELT President Asserts This Choice of Democrats Would Be Strongest. PLAIN PEOPLE LOVE HIM q Convinced Is Roosevelt of Bryan's Strength That lie May Stump for Taft How Johnson Would Lose. WASHINGTON, May 8. Now that Taft'a nomination at Chicago is assured , and we know President Roosevelt's opinion of the futile third-term talk, It is interesting to know the opinion of the astute politician in the White House as to the Democratic situation. When we say Mr. Roosevelt is an astute poli tician, we say that which no, one will question, not even his enemies. His cleverness, his leadership, his master fulness over the Republican party, he has amply demonstrated. Mr. Roosevelt is a student of public opinion as well as a leader of it, Therefore his impres sions as to the chief men in the opposi tion ranks and their relative strength before the people Is not only of interest but of importance at this public junc ture. Bryan Strongest Denfocrat. Mr. Roosevelt not only believes that Mr. Bryan Is to be nominated at Denver but that he is the strongest candidate the Democrats can nominate for Presi dent this year. Many published state ments have ascribed to the President the belief that Governor Johnson would be more dangerous to the Republican cause than Mr. Bryan. But these state ments were founded upon a misappre hension. Mr. Roosevelt has said some pleasant words about Governor -Johnson, and, in common with all observers of American politics, realizes the Minne sota governor's peculiar strength. But in the last analysis Mr. Roosevelt thinks Mr. Bryan the stronger man. the one most likely to threaten Repub lican success. The President has. discussed this and other phases of the political situation with his personal friends. One of these friends made the remark: "A fact which many people overlook is that presidential elections are not decided by professional men, merchants, the men you meet In hotels, clubs, parlor or sleeping cars. Elections are deter mined by the men who work with their hands, and from whom we rarely hear much till the votes are counted in the boxes. With that class of men with the common people you, Mr. President, are the strongest man in America. Mr. Bryan is Second. Both Judge Taft and Governor Johnson come after Mr. Bryan." Popular With Plain People. Without any mock modesty the Presi dent permitted the reference to himself to stand for what it was worth, with out comment; and he said there could be no doubt whatever of Mr. Bryan's vfiry great popularity with the masses of the people. He made it plain that he is aware there is opposition to Bry an as well as to himself among the business and professional men of the country, but that he also appreciates the fact that elections are carried by "the plain people," as Mr. Bryan calls them, and that with this class of voters the Nebraskan enjoys remarkable popu larity. The suggestion has been made here that President Roosevelt may take part in the coming campaign by making a number of speeches for Taft. It may be said the President himself has considered the ad visability of this, without as yet reach ing any conclusion. He may or may not In the end decide to override all prece dents and play a star part in the strug gle. Precedents do not count for much with Mr. Roosevelt, and if he should be come alarmed over the outlook for the Republican ticket during the closing days of the campaign, it is not at all improb BISHOPS OF EPISCOPAL CHURCH WHO WILL ATTEND THE COUNCIL OF THE EIGHTH MISSIONARY DISTRICT THIS WEEK i asss able he will take part in the battle. If he should decide to do so, it goes without saying he will be able to wield powerful influence In favor of the man who is to be nominated for his successor. Roosevelt May Take Stump. Judge Taft has won high favor with the more conservative men of the country. He is now looked upon by all as of a steadier and more moderate temperament than the President, less likely to adopt radical methods or do startling things. But he has not made so much progress in winning the applause of the masses. He has said nothing very brilliant, noth ing that haft roused enthusiasm. He Is weak where Mr. Roosevelt Is strong and strong where Roosevelt is weak. If the campaign should go badly for Mr. Taft, with Bryan against him Bryan, who has the favor to a very great extent of the same class of people as are heart and soul for Roosevelt it may be absolutely necessary for the President to take part in the campaign. Mr. Roosevelt realizes this, and, therefore, withholds his deter mination as to his course. One of the strangest things in the cam paign is the absolute Inability of the East ern newspapers to understand the strength of Mr. Bryan as a popular candidate. They do not understand his strength, even in the EaeL They continue to speak of him as if he were an ogre, a monster, or at least an ass. They believe, or af fect to believe, that if he is nominated at Denver all hope of carrying New York and other Eastern States for the Demo cratic ticket will have to be abandoned. This is not the view held by Mr. Roose velt and other perspicacious Republican leaders. They believe Bryan is a little less strong in the Bast than In the West, but they realize that with Bryan or any one else at the head of the Democratic ticket they have their work cut out for them in New York. It may be readily understood that the writer holds no brief for any leader or any party, but it Is the duty of a thoroughly independent observer to make record of the impressions of the public men whose political acumen is above question. Bryan's Followers Would Sulk. Another suggestion made here by men of high reputation is that if Mr. Bryan were voluntarily to abdicate, then Gover nor Johnson would probably be the strong- ert man the Jjemocrats could nominate. But as Colonel Watterson has well put it, there is little hope for any Democrat to ride into the White House over Mr. Bry an's dead body. Bryan has a following so loyal, so much obsessed by love of him and devotion to him, that if he were to be defeated at Denver many of them would sulk in their tents. Judge Parker had a taste of that four years ago. To day there are whispers that Judge Parker is a candidate for the nomination again this year. The whispers are always ac companied by smiles. WAGES BROKE COMPANY Receiver of Livestock Association Charges Conspiracy In Report. SPOKANE, May 16. The receiver's re port of the Pacific Livestock Insurance Association, filed in the Superior Court to day by Lloyd E. Gandy, expresses the belief that the insolvency of the company was caused by the excessive salaries and commissions paid the officers, and charges conspiracy to rob the company. The re port shows that during the existence of the company, about two years, some of the officers received from J18.0O0 to $23,000 or more each. He believes that the con ditions warrant both a civil and a criminal action against them. House Blown Up With Bomb. CHICAGO, May 16. A bomb placed under the front porch of a house at 2062 North Albany avenue exploded last night. It demolished the porch and broke all the windows in the front part of the building. No one was In jured in the house, which is occu pied by Albert Olson and Albert Kuntz, the former living in the basement. The explosion tore out the front door. Ol son's family includes his wife and three children; Kuntz s consists of his wife and two children. Olson, who owns the little property, is a woodworker, and the suggestion was made by the police that perhaps the difficulties between woodworkers and carpenters rival unions might be at the bottom of the trouble. How ever, Olson was not inclined to give this theory much credence. The loss is $200. "Sivaetic' Labels Valuable.
