Webster Davis for President.

Washington, d c., Sept. 10
Webster Davis of Missouri, assistant
secretary of the Interior department
is having boom for president in
1904
The republican papers of Penn
sylvania, eastern Ohio and western
New York are putting him forward
as an available candidate eight years
hence.
As the assistant secretary has been
winning great favor in the eyes of
the president and Mark Hanna be-
cause of his oratorical abilities, there
is something tangible behind this
gossip. Mr.. Davis has been select
ed by Mark Hanna to close the re-
publican campaign in Ciuciunati the
Saturday night before election and
he will make series of speeche S
throughout the state.
Assistant Secretary Davis says
modestly that he is not a candidate
but admits that eight years lodging
presidential lightning strokes is
enough to make even a Missouri re
publican stoop shouldered and be
does not propose to attempt it.
