THE SHOT
Famous Know Nothing Pol
icy of Mr. "Can't Tell You"
Puts Him in Running for
Vice-Presidential Nomina
, tion.
MAN-EATING DOG OF POLICE CLERK
NOW BOUND BY LOGGING CHAIN
MYERS HAD R
By Henry K. Lamble.
Washington, June IB. Quite a few
years ago, when George B. Cortelyou,
during McKlnley's first administration,
was promoted to the position, of secre
tary to the president, the . newspaper
correspondents in Washington discov
red a new quantity In pubile life They
had grown used to deceptive or evasive
replies in answer to leading questions.
L'ortelyou employed neither deception
nor evasion, if he was not prepared
to give the information, he said sim
ply. "I can't tell you." ,
In a month the, correspondents - had
changed his name from 'Cor-tel-Trou"
to "Can't-tell-you." 'And It stuck like
the paper on the wall.
From that day to this Cortelyou has
enjoyed the reputation of being able to
ray less and do it more impressively
than any man in public life. It has
been the "Cortelyou policy" to keep his
mouth shut, and in the maintenance of
this policy he has had little competi
tion and few imitators. Most men in
public life find it difficult to dodge
leading questions except by resort to
untruthfulness, and this seldom fetches
them more than temporary gain.
Silence Za Golden.
But the point Is that accoding to
present indications, Cortelyou' policy
of silence may land him the nomina
tion for vice-president. If Cortelyou is
nominated at Chicago It will be very
largely because he has refused during
the past eight months to Da arawn into
any sort of a discussion' of politics. It
is doubtful if Cortelvou's beat friend
'knows whether his preference is for
Tart or lor one or tne "auied eanai
dates. He has maintained friendly rela
tions with all of them, and has been too
friendly with none. Once, in answer to
charges that he was Riving Roosevelt
the "double cross," Cortelyou gave out
a statement to the effect that be was
not at that time candidate for the
nomination tot nrealdent.
Since then, on ail questions Of poli
tics he has been ajlent as the tomb.
From time to time tils name haa been
mentioned as a possible "dark horse" at
Chicago, but to all such suggestions
Cortelyou has had not a word to say.
lie has gone about the business or toe
treasury department . as though there
was no such thing on earth- as a na
tional convention or a presidential elec
tion. "I;'""-- ''"-'
- Kot la Bitter Tiglrt. A
The result is that Cortelyou does not
figure In the bitterness that has grown
rtut- of tha eon tent fop the nomination
and his selection for second place on the
ticket would oe , sausractory 10 an
wines of the nartv. -
History Is not without Instances
where men have taken themselves into
political preferment, but Cortelyou fur
nishes the first notable case where pre
ferment threatens to come as the result
of masterful silence. .

Chicago, June IS. Senator Bourne et
Oregon this afternoon gave out a re
markable Interview In which he said
he still believes Roosevelt will be nom

"It won't be because labor is against
Taft, nor because the old soldiers are
analnst htm, nor yet because the col
ored voters are hostile to him," declared
Senator Bourne. "All those things are
secondary. But I find among the
delegates a strong feeling against es
tablishing the precedent of the presi

"Roosevelt means well, but in this re
epect he has made an error of judgment.
He thinks he can perpetuate himself in
politics by securing the nomination of
Taft , . . ; . .
"As a matter of fact, however, the

been placed In commission at the Mare
Island yard after being remodeled by
the government, alterations and repairs
costing 120,000 apiece having been made
on them at this station. Lieutenant

the Atlantic coaat. Is in temporary com
mand of the boats, but will leave soon
for the orient to assume command of
the submarine boats recently shipped
from the Atlantic coast
No work haa been done on the Gram
pus and Pike for the past couple of
years, friction between the crew and
a previous commanding officer having
made It difficult to attain any satisfac
tory results before the vessels were
placed out of commission, as the men
objected to making the dives. When
the vessels were first . commissioned
here some four years ago, under com
mand of Lieutenant Arthur McArthur
Jr., however, excellent work was done
by them and naval experts say that
still better results will be attained as
a result of the Improvements that have
