MERELY A DRESS PARADE.
OW, IT IS reported, it is Uncle
Joe Cannon who must step
lively to get out of the way
of the presidential band
wagon and escape the swirling swipe
of the executive big stick. And not
only is administrative wrath to be
visited upon old Uncle Joe, because
he has Intimated a preference for a
presidential candidate different from
the president's, but Chicago Js
threatened with the loss of the na
tional convention, and being consid
ered as hostile territory, merely be
cause the big windy town fs In Uncle
Joe's state, whose delegates to the
national convention he may to some
extent control, he being; in fact one
of the favorite sons. Why Illinois
should not have a favorite son as
well as Ohio is fully explained by
the simple fact that the president is
for the Ohio favorite son and no
other, and he Is going to see to It
that Ohio makes his choice its favor
ite' son.
The -president is very bnty these
times, pulling here, pounding there,
yanking yonder, kicking elsewhere,
here illuminating the scene with a
dee-lighted show of teeth, there
frightening the wits out of Republi
cans with the shadow of the descend
ing big stick; busy, strenuously busy.
In New York, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Iowa, everywhere, forcing the party
a year in advance to name his choice
for president
There will be a good deal of buck
ing and kicking, but It probably will
be of no avail, and perhaps It is
best so. If the Republican party is
to have a combination -of Emperor
William and Presldenf Dial, it would
better be Roosevelt than some oth
ers, even Uncle Joe. But that Chi
cago is to be denied the convention
on Uncle Joe's account is really
funny. It Is like grabbing the old
man's slice of cake and thea kicking
him because he tried to pick up a
crumb.
