ROOSEVELTS PLAN TO HOLD
DELEGATES.
As we approach the beginning of
the campaign year of 1908, now only
about six weeks off, interest in the
Republican scramble for delegates to
the National convention to nominate
a candidate for President Roosevslt's
successor, increases. The President's
well known desire to have Secretary
Taft nominated is attracting a good
deal of attention to the methods he is
pursuing to secure delegates who are
either committed to Taft or who can
be turned over to him through Presi
dent Roosevelt's influence. There has.
been much third term talk, but it
seems that in a way the President
discourages it unless it results in his
turning third-term delegates over to
Taft. On November 19th, the Wash
ing correspondent of the New York
Times sends this bit of newsto that
paper:
"President Roosevelt,' it has become
known; is determined that as far as
he is concerned, there shall be no
repltlon of the Mlneauoplis Convention
of 1892, when the 400-odd Federal office-holding
delegates forced the re
nomination of President Harrison. To
that end he has passed the word that
co Federal -officeholder " shall go to
the Republican National convention
next year as delegate Instructed, for
him. No general announcement of
this position has been made, and no
order on the subject has been issued,
but the suggestion of the " White
House takes the nature of a command
as far as the Federal officeholders is
concerned."
The correspondent goes on to cor
rect the impresion that the position
of the President will prevent any
third term delegates from being sent
to the convention. On the other hand
it Is clear to observing politicians
that the President doesn't care how
many third term delegates are sent
but that he does desire to avoid the
scandal of having Federal officehold
ers go to the convention as third
termers. The correspondent says this
in order to prevent a false impression
about the ban on officeholders:
"In certain quarters the knowledge
of this determination on the part of
the President has been interpreted
promptly as equivalent to a declara
tion that he will not permit himself
to be nominated again. But that it
is not what he has said. There has
been no prohibition of work on the
part of the third termers to bring
about the election of delegations in
structed for Roosevelt.
"The prohibition, in fact, is narrow
ly restricted. It merely prevents Fe
deral placeholders from going them
selves as delegates. It does ne Inter
fere with the activity they have" been
showing recently in paving the way
for the selection of other delegates
who will shout just as loudly for
Roosevelt as they themselves would.
No one is more fully aware of the
work that is being done to insure the
nrooori ro at t"ho rwn iron firm nf HpTo-
gates Instructed for Roosevelt than
Roosevelt himself. From time to time
recently there have been significant
reports, principally from the South.as
to what was going on there, especial-
ly among the Federal officeholders.
"These efforts have not been con
fined to the South, however. They
have extended to several other States
in the West and Northwest More
over, they have not always bsen spon
taneous. Suggestions have been 'made
to the Republican leaders in some of
the States that it would be a godd
thing for them to get busy in caus
ing the election of Roosevelt dele
gates, and the earlier the conventions
could be held the better."
That the work has been thoroughly
done in the South there is ample evi
dence, it Is stated. The most signi
ficant fact is the complete alienation
of Alabama from Fairbanks. Up to a
short time ago the Vice President was
under the impression that he had the
Important Alabama delegation solid
hlmiinlf XT..ot. T T T
iui mujBcii. nun lias anaiLcucu
1 to the fact that it is to be for Roose
velt., The men have been selected al
ready. The work is finished and the
delegation is a copper-riveted Roose
velt crowd for Roosevelt, first, last
and all the time.' The Importance of
this to both Roosevelt and Fairbanks
lies in the fact that Alabama is the
first State to be named on the roll
. call. - Alabama leads off, and whoever
controls Alabama gets the first- move
In the game.
The sentiment in Wshington politi
cal circles Is that if Mr. Roosevelt Is
- renominated by the Republicans next
" Summer it will not be by a convention
f ' ' ' -.
. pacKea wun men who owe their jobs
-to him. hrewd politicians suggest
that all this Is a "part of a deep game,
thereal purpose of which is the nom
ination of Secretary Taft. -
The- idea is 'that A when the ' time
comes at the , last moment for the fi-
The operations in the-iron and stel
industries are always.- supposed -to in
dicate which way the industrial cat is
jumping.. It is considered in New
York that the steady and severe con
traction in the production of pig iron
by the steel companies indicates the
hsavy decrease in consumption of
finished products. This readjustment
of production tp consumptive require
ments is expected to continue through
out the balance of the year if not lat
er; indeed, faw in the iron industry
expect any tendency toward expan
sion until next February at the ear
liest. Even with improved financial
conditions it will take time to re-establish
confidence to a sufficient de
gree to cause the placing of import
ant contracts for either finished or
crude materials. There was an as
surance, too, of stable prices; at least
that the decline is at or near bottom.
Now, even with the protection against
decline in prices of some articles man
ufacturers hesitate to place contracts:
Contraction by the Steel Corpora
tion now, according to Pittsburg re
ports, has reached 45 furnaces out of
the 97 effective stacks of the 100 own
ed by the various companies. Out of
the 48 furnaces of the Carnegie Steel
Company 28 are reported idle; the
Illinois Steel Company has blown out
9 of Its 21 stacks. The American Steel
and Wire Company has put out 3 of
its 12 furnaces, and the National Tube
Company 5 of the 11 furnaces owned
The three Breakers Island furnaces
have not "been active.
It must be remembered, however,
that towards the approach of a new
year there is always a lessening of pro
duction. It Is known as the dull part
of the year. Early relief of the finan
cial situation will no doubt stir up ac
tivity again.
TREASURY PLANS FOR FINAN
CIAL RELIEF.
DRAKES
DAELSVOETT
U"LD
The announcement of the plan of
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Cortelyou to issue $50,000,000 in Pan
ama bonds and $100,000,000 in one
year Treasury certificates bearing 3
per cent, interest, is naturally the
chief discussion in financial circles in
New York. However, the bankers do
not seem to agree as to the effective
ness of the plan. Doubtless all will
eventurally agrea with Mr. Frank A.
Vanderlip, vice president of the Na
tional City Bank. He says the issue
of $50,000,000 Panama bonds and $100,
000,000 "of Treasury certificates form
the correct solution of the currency
problem.
"Th'3 action of the Treasury," says
Mr. Vanderlip, "solves the currency
problem beyond a doubt. The result
ought to be an elimination of the pre
mium on currency. Gold imports
have been due largely to the high
premium on currency, and the removal
of this premium will serve to check
gold imports. But Europe has been
buying heavily of this country's pro
ducts, and some means of satisfying
this balance will have to be taken.
The Treasury certificates will be sim
ilar to bank notes in form and will
be a good medium for circulation,
certificates ought to accomplish the
much desired result of attracting a
large amount of hoarded money into
circulation again. There is every in
dication that we have arrived at the
turning point for the better so far
as the money situation is "Tjoncerh-ed."

'Journal. The -present attitude of the banks
In regard to the payment of currency
upon their obligations is highly dis
creditable to American finance. The
suspension of currency payments to
depositors and the issue of Clearing
House . certificates are perhaps ren
dered necessary by our financial meth
ods as measures of self-preservation,
but they are a serious impeachment
of our foresight and Intelligence. When
banks are compelled to suspend gold
payments every dozen years it is idle
to prattle about making New York the
financial center of the world. London
has won that position because a bank
credit there is convertible into gold
at par and the fact is known to every
creditor in the remotest corner of the
world. New York can never win any
such position whsn her banks -1 are
compelled to suspend gold payhients
