or Instance, Roger Sullivan of
Illinois supports this man; August Bel
mont or Thomas F. Ryan of New York
support that man to defeat other can
didates for the presidential nomination.
The movement to nominate a man,
south of Mason and Dixon's line will
die abornln' so long as the spectre of
th negro question hovers over th
south and so long, as Is now true, es
no southern man arises with an ade

..As asserted previously In these- dial-
patches, Mr. Bryan Is master of tli
iJemocratlc situation, purely by force
of his championship of the Interest of
the masses against the wealthy classes.
The same causes operate to make Mr.
Roosevelt the controller of Republican
destinies. The people suspect any man
who antagonises him. whether justly or
otherwise, and so far as present Indi
cations go. It will be necessary only
for him to evince his displeasure to
Wefeat a candidate not to his liking.
Fairbanks Boom Bursts.
The boom of Senator Knox, of Penn
sylvania, has not created any enthusi
asm. Even before the Harrlsburg con
vention endorsed him for the presidency,
the publlo press had reflected the well
defined Impression that that convention
was controlled by the Pennsylvania Rail
road company, the steel trust and th
American Protective Tariff league, all
three of which are against Mr. Roose
velt's policy; Vice President Fairbanks'
boom Is a dead one; Joseph Cannon can
not knock the persimmons. The un
known qualities in the Republican party
are La Foilette of Wisconsin and '
Hughes of New Tork. Foraker Is a for
gotten quantity, and TafL although
backed by the president, has a divided
state back of him. Mr. Roosevelt can
Dave the nomination for the asking.
When the process of elimination haa
been carried to its logical conclusion,
two men remain President Roosevelt
and William J. Bryan and these men
hold within their hands the power to
dictate results.

Back of all anti-convention specula

the cost of living is advancing faster
