Tho xarious contestants for the Speak
| ershin of the n ext House will soon concen.
| trata their forces at the capital for the
| final and decisive struggle. There ara
| some half dozen Democratic members with
| aspirations and hopes, but the two lead.
ing candidates are the Hon. Roger O. Mills
of Texas, and Judge Crisp of Georgia
The agile Springer is ready to Jump into
the arena when the two principal gladia-
tors have knocked one another out. lint ~
present he is not very active, occupying as
it were, position of expectancy. If the
Democrats want to elect to the speakershin
the man who best represents the tenden-
cies of the party at the present day. thew
will undoubtedly choose the Hon. Roger
O. Mills. Mills is for free trade, pure and
simple, as is by far the largest part of
the Democratic party. He is also for free
silver, and to that policy the great bulk of
the party has committed itself through the
resolutions of its state conventions. Mills
is also from the South where dwells the
party's controlling wing. To be sure
Crisp is from the South and his opinions
on the tariff and silver questions differ
from those of Mills's in degree more than
in kind, but he has not been conspicuouslv
identified with a revenue measure as Mills
has and he is not so we'll known over the
country. Mills's election would mean that
the Democrats had determined to make
their next campaign for free trade without
any reservation, while Ciisp's election
would not mean anything very definite In
that direction. 1t is seldom, however.
that the Democrats have had the courage
of their convictions in the face of Presi-
Dental election. Their practics has been
to hedge and dodge. 1t is this fact that
throws doubt upon the success OF Mils's
campaign. Undoubtedly the great majori-
ty OF the Democrats feel that Mills best
represents their real sentiments and that
he is the best exponent of the policy
which they intend to adopt If the govern
ment passes into their control But just
now the question of votes is uppermost in
their mind, and it is by no means certain
that a bold and frank avowal of their poll
cy, such as the choice Of Mills would be,
is the surest electioneering device.
