IT IS reasonable to suppose that a large number of voters will not make their choice as between Taft and Bryan until after Tafi's letter of acceptance. What Bryan will say. In effect, they know, but - what Taft will say Is not known, cannot so easily be predicted. President Roosevelt has helped to make millions of Republicans In ef fect Democrats; that Is, has prompt 'fid them to look at affairs and be JieTe much ft Bryan does, and there fore to stand for about the same things that Bryan stands for. Roose velt cannot now undo this work. If he would. He has opened a great ; many eyes, and cannot shut them up again. Roosevelt stands for Taft, irgys ' Taft is all right, and will carry out Roosevelfa policies, but a large pro portion of these voters are not go-j Jngto take Roosevelt's word for this. He iaa been pretty "wobbly" him self as to some of these vaunted policies, and has sometimes had the appearance of playing a bluffing game, tjiongh in the main tjhe peo . pie believe him sincere and leal i ously patriotic; but he can't pledge another man. Taft must speak for himself. These people, hundreds of thousands of undecided voters, very llkely, are waiting to hear what he will say and how he shall say It. The people have confidence in Mr. Taft's word, believe that he will tell them only the truth as to his pur poses, but will he have anything suf ficiently definite, specific, and in a word "radical" to satisfy these vot ers whose partylsm has been leavened- by Rooeeveltlsm? The "con servatives" are all for Mr. Taft, and he cannot please them and also rilpnstp thnan whn ara fnllnmpm nt Roosevelt in what they suppose ae his policies. These voters will not be; and should not be, satisfied with "glittering generalities." with per functory phraseology meaning either of two or more things, with dope 'for the interests and spice for the radicals nicely, blended. They will want to know very definitely where Mr. Taft stands on various questions, on all the "Roosevelt pol icies," specifically and seriatim, and if he dodges or straddles or befogs these Issues, there is likely to be a big slump of such voters to Bryan. Mr. Taft has shown himself to be a man of considerable moral courage before now, but he will need a large asset of moral courage in sending out that letter and saying, in perfect sincerity and candor, Just what he really thinks and purposes to do on all these questions; and It is no less than this that is demanded of him. I . Mr. Bryan's second candidacy also Impossible of success. In 1008 there is a reversal of con dltlons. Mr. Taft has many hand! caps. His personality is one. HI candidate for the vice-presidency is another. Ills use of the Injunction as a federal Judge In Ohio, and its Inevitable alienation of a large block of the labor vote, Is another and formidable one. His part in the ex traordlnary dlsnilnsal of the Browns vllle f-oldiers, Innocent as well as Eutltw and the loss of a section of the m'ored voto that It will entail Is another. Another, and a greater one than all these Is the known fact that Mr. Taft was nominated by natronaire. and not by the free choice of his party. It is not the fault of Mr. Taft that he was so nominated, and he Is doubtless presl dentlal size, but voters universally resent interference with their rights, and this unusual method of his nom (nation will weigh against Mr. Tatt In his candidacy. Greatest, how ever, of all the embarrassments with which he must contend, is the hard fact of the 1907 panic. This coun try has never, following a panic, elected to the presidency the candl date of the party In whose adminis tration tho depression occurred. If it does so next November, it will re verse the past. On the other hand, Mr. Bryan has advantages he never had before. If the utterances of La Follette and of Roosevelt may be trusted, his plat form Is excellent. The incorporation of many of Mr. Bryan's policies as slogans of the Roosevelt administra tion, and the unqualified Indorse ment accorded them by tne Amer ican people outside of Wall street. constitutes a vindication of Mr. Bryan beyond that ever received by any private citizen in this country. Nor has he to contend against the glamor of war and returning peace as in 1900. Nor has he a panic on his trail as in 1898. It is Mr. Taft that must carry a panic. Mr. Bryan has hifl handicaps, not ably the antagonism of the favor- eeeklng interests,, and it is a mighty one. He may not be elected, yet those who desire him defeated, must ecognize that his cause is not the forlorn hope of former years. THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK. THE coming political struggle will not be the unequal con test that characterized the two former Bryan campaigns. The electoral votes of McKinley and Ho tiart aggregated 271, against 176 for Bryan and Sewall. The victors had a popular vote In their favor of 601,654. They had for campaign capital the formidable fact that there had been a dreadful panic and hard times In the Cleveland admin istration. They had for further campaign assets the fact that Mr. Bryan was a ery young man, a new and unknown leader, and before the people on the boldest political plat form in the country's hlstor.y. Any other result than that which came to ta.e, was Impossible. The electoral vote of McKinley and Roosevelt was 2J2. againiit'155 lor Bryan and Stevenson The pop lar plurality for the winners waa 149, 4aa, the largest then known to American political annals. The vlc tors had for campaign material the fact that the country had been at ar, and the American people never voted - against an administration where tb effect w0trtij be to dis credit the country"! battles and sol di erf. They never will. because the sentiment of patriotism la too deep ly rooted in the American heart. Thin, and the fact that tne Demo cratic party allowed the question of 1 rr.r-r ::! to focus -the teases of the rampaiga oa (be war, tog her with fcct'er t! prevai.'lBg lades tr!a?; tf?rour,hoct tie country, made HKARST AGAINST BRYAN. MR. HEARSTS independent party-jnay cut some Utile fig ure in New York, but iot i- able number of votes in the middle west, where Mr. Bryan must win if he can win at all. Unless he can carry Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin, or most of them, he has little chance of success, and there, is no predicting the extent of the re volt in those states, and in Iowa, Ne braska and Minnesota, against high protection and the reign of the trusts. However worthy Mr. Hearst's motives may be, he must expect to be generally regarded as a malicious wrecker, merely to gratify his per sonal whims. Of course he has a perfect right to oppose Bryan as well as Taft. but the only possible result is to help Taft and hurt Bryan, and nearly everybody will conclude that this is the very purpose of the in dependent movement. This of Itself will defeat any design Mr. Hearst may have of making his party a greatly growing one during the next four years. Men are not going -to flock to the standard "t$f a leader whose chief efforts and purpose seems to have been to defeat the very men and measures that give them promise of relief, justice, and needed reforms. Mr. Hearst may possibly get enough votes for his candidate to turn the scale agalust Bryan, hut if so he will look for any popular movement In his direction In vain. be one. There may also be some Republicans or former Republican! who will conclude to lupport Bryan. It would not be strange If there were a good many auch. WHY SALT THE WOUND? F HIGHER FHKIGHT RATES. P RESIDENT RIPLEY of the Santa Fe railroad says that as It will be impossible to reduce wages, freight rates will have to h? raised. Reduction of wages would caute a great and prolonged strike, but perhaps raising freight rates will cause a strike among the people who pay the freight. At least they will demand to know why increased freight rates are necessary. Thev will have to he shown. If Mr. Ripley and his fellow railroad presi dents have facts and figures showing a real Justification' for TucB' a raise, the people will submit, but they are indisposed to believe everything these gentlemen tell them any more. Well, what are they going to do about It? Why. establish rate? themselves, tha best they can, tax j arose income, or perhaps vti narrowness or soul, per versity of purpose, obliquity of thought and downright pov erty of human sympathy, com mend us to this quotation from the Qregonlan: But this (the Cleveland resolu tlon in the Denver convention) was not remarkable at all, not In the least degree of a nature to produce amusement or excite guffaw, com pared with the special resolution on Abraham Lincoln." Why should not the Denver con vention have paid a tribute to Lin coln? Is the war not yet over? Is It a lie that the-Ble and the Gray marched up San Juan hill together? Is the tragedy of 1861 with its red valleys of blood and cities of grave stones, brought oh by passions of men and the accumulated heresy of centuries, a heresy contributed to by all men and all parties is all this a gaping wound that must be probed and dug in lest it close and we for get? Which is the nobler, the Den ver delegates reaching across this chasm of 40-odd years to place a wreath of flowers on the tomb of Lincoln, or this carping miserly pro ducement with its whine because the dead statesman has received a meed of praise from an unexpected source? Is party a thing that must abso- utely see no good in the men or measures of another party? Is It a crime, or an Incident to "excite guf faw" for a man or all the men in one party to acknowledge that a man, living or dead, in another party Is worthy of applause? Must ustlce between man and man, must uman sympathy, must all the thought of a square deal for men of anpther party be stilled when the portals of the opposing party are entered. Does manhood and mag nanimity end where party begins? Where is the authority for this un bending, this narrow, this peevish, this tragical party creed, save in the hand that challenges the right of a Democrat, because a Democrat, to peak kindly of the name of Lin coln? Was Lincoln, and Is Lincoln, political party's dead, or is he the nation's dead? f From where, more 'thin from those delegates from the sunny south, should there come benlsons upon the memory of Lincoln? It was the gentle, forgiving Lincoln that offered to take the seceded states back Into the union whenever 10 per cent of their people would oraglnze a state government and ask admission. If he had lived, the I stricken south would have been spared the hard gruelling terms of reconstruction forced upon her brave people by congress. In those last days the south and all the country got a glimpse of a heart that it had never seen before, a heart that in the hour of triumph and power was gentle, forbearing, magnanimous in its terms for recementlng the union. It was a heart out of tune with con gress, which attempted to impeach Andrew Johnson, mainly because he sought for the south the magnani mous term- Lincoln. Lad proposed. Why shoulud not the southern dele gates at Denver, and all the dele gates there have rolled back 40 years of time to lay a wreath on a martyr's grave. Shall all men cease to be magnanimous, because a few are Drone to possess the In stincts of "swine? the fact that the term Is only four years. If it were six or seven, one term should be the limit. The un derlying reason for Bryan's resolu tlon, however, Is sound. Judge Parker's action and speech In the Denver convention and sine have raised him considerably in th estimation of the people, especially western Democrats, and he was no doubt broadened and bettered by his trip west and his coptact with west ern men. It should do any New Yorker good to come west. Small Change Let na not beitln llntlnr the doubtful . ..II . V . Aa between Peary and th Pol, the oacu ara long In favor or tne 1'ole.

There is much besides a supenflclal lmilarltv between Koosevelt and Bryan liotn ara sincere, nonest ana courage ous. both are fighting, a common na my In behalf of the common people, but Roosevelt Is fighting more blindly han Uryan. He onlv sees the resultan vll and does not seem to fully compre bend tho underlying cause of the na tlon s trouble, legislation for special In terest, and consequent corruption o national, state and municipal govern ment to secure this special legislation that the few may pile up fabulous for tunes at tne expense or tne many. That Roosevelt realizes In a vague sort of way what the nation s troubl la. Is shown by his warfare upon Wall street, the source of national corrupt tlon. a vigorous, open battle by a clean cut fighter. That he does not fully comprehend It, is shown bv his advo cacy, while fighting graft, of such vicious grafting measures as a ship subsidy, designed to enrich from the public treasury a trust he is fighting, end of a high tariff, creator of the criminal rich tie denounces; It Is shown by fatal compromises in the hour of his victories, like those of the railroad r;ite bill and beef trust bill that left him the shell but the trusts the kernel It is shown in countless omissions and commissions that indicate that the president Is fighting valiantly, but blindly, though always spectacularly. That Bryan has a clearer idea of the nation's troubles and the cause of pres ent evils, due to unfair diversions of the products of labor and unequal dis trlbutlon of the people's earnings Is evi dent from his speeches and from hip advocacy of measures far in advance of his party. Bryan believes that govern n.ent ownership of railroads Is the ulti mate solution of the railroad problem though he is willing to give government regulation a rair trial rirst. He advo cated measures 12 years ago that Mr Roosevelt has only picked up recently and adopted as new, showing that hoth are traveling the same road, but that Bryan years ago passed over the same ground Koosevelt is traveling today. Whether the remedies offered by either, and they are not dissimilar, con sisting mainly In the restoration of competition, will right matterarls prob lematical.
