''That man who invades another's

John Hall McKay, Active in New
York Politics for Twenty Years
Sees Success This Year for Demo
crats Hughes te le Named.
Chamberlain's Name Sugfestetf fwr
Vice President He is Well Kniwn
and Universally Papular.
That William J. Gaynor of Now
York and George E. Chamberlain of
Oregon aro being discussed In demo
cratic circles of tho east -as nominees
of tho democratic party for the presi
dency and vice presidency of the
United States aid that Charles G.
Hughes, a member of tho supreme
court and former governor of Now
York, will probably bo tho compro
mise .candidate put forward by the
republican party is tho statement of
John Hall McKay, the oldest member
of tho National Democratic club of
New .York, and active In New York
political circles for tho past 20 years.
Mr. McKay spent several months In
Medford last year and returned Fri
day for an indefinite stay In tho val
ley. Republicans on Ilun.
"It looks very much In the east,"
states Mr, McKay, "that the republic
an party Is on tho run. The party la
split up into several factions each
holding a bitter animosity toward vtao
other. Since New. York"! the f(lyi
ota! state It would appear that there
will be a demand for tho republican
candidate who can hope to carry the
state. Tho recent primary elections
have shown that by no possibility Is
Theodore Roosevelt tho man. there
fore the logical candidato Is Charles
K. Hughes, who Is highly thought of
and respected by tho entire common
wealth. President Tnft's foud with
Colonel Itoosevclt has split the re
publican organization to such an ex
tent In New York stato that the man
agers of tho organisation could not
hope to elect the members to tho elec
toral college bo necessary to the suc
cess of tho national ticket with tho
president as tho standard bearer of
their party. It follows, therefore,
that Justico Hughes will bo tho com
promise candidate.
Democrats United.
"On tho other hand, the democrats
are united as never before in tho his
tory of tho party. While tho repub
licans aro now busily engaged lu
slinging mud tho demoorats, as was
woll shown nt tho recent dinner of
the National Domocratio club on
Jefferson's birthday, are all agreed
that tho party has a wealth of can
didates any ono of whom would bo
an excel Ion t man to present to the
popular suffrage.
"Again, tho democrats have a
plunk in thoir platform to go bofore
tho people on, which will appeal to
all classes as never before. That
plank is tariff reform. A series of
'tariff reform' dlnnors gtvon by tho
National Democratic club in New
York City during tho past wlntor
havo crowded tho clubhouso and dem
ocrats of all shades and hues who
formorly hold views as wldo apart as
tho poles havo become united by this
issue.
Gaynor Splendid Man.
"If Hughes Is tho nonilnoo his log
ical opponent will bo William J.
Gaynor, mayor of Now York City.
Mayor Gaynor Is tho Idol of nil New
Yorkers. IIo has tho ability to ex
press himself clearly and forcibly
both in speech and In writing, He Is
a publicist of tho foremost rank and
his undoubted integrity and ability
coupled with tho fact that ho can" no
doubt carry tho pivotal state of New
York for tho domocratio ticket makes
him loom largo as tho probable presi
dential candidato of tho democrat!
party.
"At tho Jefferson dinner which I
have roforred to bofore William Jen-

wealth of domocratio eligible pruhajd
