It is to be hoped that there will be no three-cornered
tight to the confusion of the issue. It seems that this is
not yet decided. Colonel Roosevelt declined the nomina
tion provisionally, stating that if Mr. Hughes’ position on
public questions proved satisfactory to the people he would
not run. This is very characteristic of Teddy; he says
what he means. He is willing to take a back seat for the
present if Mr. Hughes will give assurance that he repre
sents the principles that the Colonel and his followers have
been struggling for; otherwise he is ready to jump into the
ring. The Herald man is in hopes that Teddy will stay
out of it and let Mr. Hughes and Mr. Fairbanks and their
reactionary backers go up against the works. Then they
would not have Teddy to blame, and they might learn
something about the temper of the people. It seems to be
about the hardest thing in the world for an old line poli
tician to realize that times have changed in the last gen
eration. They want to play the game exactly as it was
played when they learned it, and no hammer is heavy
enough to maul into their heads a realization that it won’t
work; that the people have waked up and are no longer to
be considered politically as mere dumb, driven cattle.
Perhaps they can lead the voters up to the Hughes-Fair-
banks cake of ice; but they can’ t make ’em drink it. Let
them find it out.
