May 22.-^ tI I There has been a good deal of talk F about adjournment of'Congress be- tt ! fore the conventions are held so p that evehy politician in Congress can S| not only get busy at the conventions tc but get home early to look after his tj, own fences in every State and Congressional dtttrict. The chgncee are there will be no early adjournment 0] of Congress and that Congress will 0) be in session until the first or maybe al the middle of August. The Repub- pi licaA Senate seems to be in no hurry to take up and pass or kill the Dem- tc ocratic measures and the so-called ^ I progressiva Republican reformers in tl .the Senate have absolutely refused Q1 I to combine with the Democrats and [pass this legislation Inaugurated by a] a Democratic house In ths Interest C( I of the taxpayers of this country. tc That simply shows that the Democratic contention is-correct, that the ft Republican party is wedded to Its T idols and stands for nothing except p, protection and the robber tariff in ft the interest of the manufacturers p of this country to detriment of the B consumers. Well, we have got a q campaign coming on and chickens gJ will come home to roost. lr The Presidential campaign for the nomination on both tickets is rapid- Ic ly reaching a climax. So far as the u Republican HHualion is concerned, F the fight between Taft and Roose- C( velt ia becoming hotter every day, R and there are many predictions n amongst political urocnosticatora I _ that my prophecy concerning Taft s being the nominee of the Republican p party la going to come a cropper and ^ that Roosevelt is going to be nominated. I still do not believe that c, Roosevelt will be nominated, but ^ nevertheless and notwithstanding, if ^ he should be nominated and Tart de- u feated, it will make no difference in w the Democratic program. If Taft is C) nominated, my predlcitlon is that ^ Roosevelt will run independent on y the plea that the people have been |( swindled out of the nomination and t, that he was the choice of the people 0 in the Republican party. 0 If Roosevelt Bhould be nominated t, by the Taft people getting into a 0 panic, and their managers unable to n control the delegates chosen for Taft t] we will not sea any Taft Third party a or JLaFoliette third party, but we p will see nqt less than two million patriotic Republicans in this country n refusing to support any man on #he tl face of the earth for a third term. ^ They will not bolt the nomination, v but they will simply stay at home ti and not vote. This 1? Indicated by n the returns from every State that n has held a Presidential preference a primary. It is a fact that not thirty e per cent of the Republican vote in p the 8tate of Illinois was polled for t] Taft and Roosevelt combined, and h that Champ Clark received more Democratic votes In that Sta^thaa n bo til of them. The same thing was n true in the State of Maryland where only 20 per cent of the white Re- y publicans voted for Rooaevolt and a Taft and yet 80 per cent of the negro tl vote In that State was polled. The B| Democrats polled more than 70 per g .cent of the total vote of the State and Clark carried the State. There r, is a likelihood that there may be a m Jam at the Chicago Convention and m th?t if such should be the case, the Cl -Republicans would say to one an- 8I other, "A plague on both yonr tj housee," we will nominate a third V( man and we will uke such a man aa h Senator Cummtns of Iowa. If such should be the case, there Is no dotibt that the Democrats have got a bat- tie In front of them Instead of a * walkover and It behooves them to el put up the strongest man they can e: And nt Baltimore. Whilst Cummins n might bo tnd probably would be a thoroughly acceptable to the Roose- p ?eK Republicans; although CnnT- e! mlns is h?t.M radical as Roosevelt, it pfotkbty would be the ease that o r-'ZY .

Senator ial ollette also is utaftoins to stump ?e State. Governor^ Wilson. on the emocratlc side, will continue his >?ecb-making until, the night beire the primaries. fighting hard for le solid support of ?}s home State. Those who follow pontics confess ielr Inability to pred|ct the outcome ' either the Reuubllean or the Dera ratio contest in New Jersey with iy degree of certainty?. In the Reubllran ranks the Taft forces and to Roosevelt followers are fighting >oth and nail every inch of the round. New Jersey 1a the last of te states having any considerable umerlcal representation In the naonal convention to eleet delegates ad as a consequence the two rival mdidatea entertain a keen anxiety i score a victory here. The organisation forces are strong ir the renominatlon of: President aft. and have selected former Sureme Court Justice Gilbert Collins, inner Governor Franklin Murphy, nlted States Senator Frank O. rlggs and F. Wayland Ayers. the aroden county leader, aa the deletes at large to represent the state i the interest of Praident Taft. Prominent men also are to be lund in the Rooeepait cgjBt>. Among ic number are former Governor brt. who wonld like to revive a cabinet birth In the event oosevelt's election; former Goveror Stokes, who aspires to the L'nlt1 States Senatorshln? former Ktnto enator Everett Colby and Borden Thiting, president of the New Jerjy Republican Progressive League. The recent Roosevelt victories in ther states have naturally served to lcrease "the Roosevelt sentiment In lew Jersey and there Is a feeling lat when the Colonel concludes his hirlwind tour of the State he may irry everything before him. On le other hand, there is a belief that lie speeches to be made by the Prealent during the next few days may urn the tide in his favor in spite f the Roosevelt campaigning. The nish of the race will be given a >uch of variety by the appearance f Senator LaFollette, though it Is ot thought that the candidacy ol lie Wisconsin senator will figure to ny extent In the results of the Taftloosevelt fight. On the Democratic side there Is ot so much fireworks being set off, tiough the regular organization, hich is battling against OovorfroT 711son, is working hard in every seciori of the state. The anti-Wilson ten are confident they will win lore than half of the entire state elegation of twenty-eight, and may lect every man put up against the /llson candidates, chiefly because tie organization of the Wilson adcrenta is not anything like that ol tie experienced politicians who are taking the fight against the Goveror in his home state. I The friends of Governor Wilson et have faith in their ability to send state delegation favoring him to tie Baltimore convention, notwlthtandlng the setbacks he has been etting in other states. tt appears very probable that the asnlts of the balloting in New Jerey next Tnesday will be as muddled b the situation developed by the reent primary elections In MassaohuBtta and Maryland.

OWKHtf XEAJK THK COAST, mm r TO BE AD1IRED SAYS FRIENDS All Admit That He Has Had Wonderful Experience In Political World SCH01AR AND GOOD DEMOCRAT Dally Newa Correspondent Writes Interestingly of the Outlook. (CMA8. A. KDWAKPS) Special to the Daily Newa. WaaHinrlnn T"? f Xfav ? ? T am not saying a word against any of iho excellent gentlemen who are candidates for the nomination on the Democratic ticket, but I am quoting only the language of the leaders of party and the gossip that I hear everywhere in the National Capital concerning the candidacy of these gentlemen. We all know that Col. William J. Bryan is radically opposed to the nomination of Governor Harmon of Ohio and that he will use all of his influence, not only to defeat his nomination but that he and his friends, after such a nomination, would act exceedingly human and be luke warm to his election. Thq same may be said of Oscar W. Underwood and there is no doubt in the minds of well informed people that while these two Democrats would make excellent Presidents of the United States if elected, that they would not make good candidates before the election on account of the disaffection of Mr. Bryan and his friends before the nomination, which will have its natural results after the nomination is made. It is said that Governor Wilson, the erudite, scholarly and brilliant Governor of New Jersey that he cannot carry the hnaluessjelement of the country on account of his radical views on some questions, and that he will naturally alienate those old tine Democrats whom we need in our business to carry this election. While all these comments are be-J Ing made when the questiou la one j concerning the man who can com-1 mand the most Democratic votes, | you never near anything of that sort said about Champ Clark. Everybody admits that he has had a wonderful experience in National legislation; that he is a ripe scholar, as good a Democrat as ever marked the earth; that he has stood on every platform and voted a sraight ticket and spoke from every stump in , this country for the nominees of the : Democratic party since he became a man. They point to his record in public life and say that it is the record of the Democratic party; that! IT he was wrong in any stand he has.1 , taken, then the Democratic party is! wrong because he was only follow- J ing the Democratic platform and the teachings of the Democratic party. They say he is not a socialistic, vehement and radical Democrat who wants to stand squally on th^ton. Btitnthm- ttrrfr under that fundamental law of the land, to enact legislation that will curb the rapacity of ,the trusts and the-combines in the -Interest of the taxpayers and the combines in the interest of the ta? < payers and tbe common people. It would seem to me then that if! the wisdom of tbe Democrats of this' , country is to be put to a test in the t selection of a candidate who can boot and easiest get all factions together and harmonizing the party in one solid phalanx, that Champ Clark Is the man for them to nominate. He has demonstrated his capacity In harmonizing :the Democrats in the -House of Representatives where there are as many varied Interests ( represented and to be conserved as there are In the entire nation, because these men in Congress represent the people of the entire nation, ff he did something there that no < other Democratic leader has been able to do in the twenty years, why should he not be able to harmonize the party all over the country and win a glorious victory for the people through the Democratic party as any man in the world. I am not booming any man at the i expense of any other Democrat. 1 am only a loyal Democrat writing : for the newspapers and telling the readers of those papers what 1 see i and hear as a Democrat at the National Capital and giving them the banott of that Information. .Imply la U. thtanat at party aoooaa.
