The increased activity and greater promi.
nence of Senator Edmunds as a leader of his
party has naturally occasioned comment at
the capital and attracted attention through
out the country. As our Washington CORE
spondent observed in his letter published yes
terday; Senator Edmunds retains the presi-
dency of the Senate; he takes the chairman
ship of the caucus he makes speeches which
define the party policy he would be presi-
dent this year ii Arthur were to die. All this
may not mean that the Vermont statesman
would be glad to receive the presidential
nomination of his party, or would accept It
If rendered to him. 1t certainly does not
mean that he will lift finger, or do a thing
beyond his duty as a senator to secure the
nomination. Indeed, we have reason to know
that he is not ambitious in this direction, and
that the subject is in many of its aspects,
dstasteful to him. But it is inevitable that
the coming to the front of so gifted a states
man and so sagacious a party leader should
turn the attention of the voters to him as not
only the strongest man but the most available
candidate for the presidency. In the present
temper of the people the very fact that he
does not crave the Office constitutes power
full reason why he should be asked TO take it,
He possesses, more full y than any other mem.
Der of his party, the qualities and qualihca-
tons desirable in q President, if the party
which he represents is to be continued in
power-a fact that cannot yet be determined
He possesses the confidence of the people to
greater extent than he does the sympathy
OF the politicians circumstance that would
be surprising, in view of his sturdy partisan
ship, but for the explanatory fact that his
purposes, aims and methods are SO much
higher and broader than those of the average
politician. Senator Edmunds has never de-
pended upon wire pulling to secure his ad-
vancement, nor is it his chief object in pub.
lie life to act as dispenser of patronage. It
viii be fortunate for the country il Edmunds
shall be presented to the voters as an alterna-
tive choice for the presidency.
