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

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.
