How the President Was Converted.
The New York Herald" prints Porto
Rican story today which Is likely TO worry
the Administration, and may call for a Wig
Orous denial.
II appears that as soon as the Hon.
Elihu Root became Secretary OF War, he
interested himself in the conditions pre-
vailing in Porto Rico. and directed Nj
Charles E. MagoOn. law officer OF ;he Di-
vision Of Insular Affairs. to prepare an
opinion covering the political status OF the
island. Mr.. Magoon shortly afJerwlrd
submitted a paper in which be gave de-
tailed history OF American expansion. OF
the uniform practice OF the Government in
regard to acquired territory. and Of the
view taken OF the status of such territory
by the Supreme Court from the time of
the Louisiana Purchase TO the present
year. The result OF an exhaustive study
Of the subject convinced Mr.. Magoon that
Porto Rico was as much a part of the
United States as is Maryland or Arizona.
and that the Constitution extended over it
from the moment the treaty Of cession
was ratified.
This opinion. il is said. was entirely in
agreement with Mr. Roots previous view.
He took it over to the President. accord
ing to the Herald" story. and urged Mr.
Mckinley to stop the illegal collection OF
customs duties and give the island its
rights under the Constitution Like Mr.
Root. the President was satisfied that the
basic law Of America went with the flag
eN propriO vigore. but he was afraid of Of
Tending the trusts and therefore was de-
termined to shift responsibility to Con-
gress. So in due course Of time the origi-
nal Payne Free Trade bill was introduced
in the House in recognition OF the McKin-
ley admOntion that "our plain duty
demanded such a measure Then. as ev-
erybody knows. the trusts fell upon Mr..
Mckinley and the leaders of his party and
forced them to swallow their words and
consciences, and TO use all their power and
influence to oppress Porto Rico and DEFY
the Constitution
It is at this point that the Herald" sto-
y develops its greatest interest. The
President it is related. finding that the
constitutional argument and report Of Mr..
MagOon would be embarrassing on account
OF the intended change OF front, caused that
gentleman to prepare a fresh opinion
which should show that the Constitution
does not 90 with the flag that there is no
Constitution outside Of State boundaries
and that the Supreme Court decisions in an
unbroLen line for almost a century are
word that any modern trust Administration
is bound to respect. Magoon attended "a
the second job as wtH as he could. Pretty
nearly every man in public life has read
and can Judge Of the work.

POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.

a CIOse-State MRn--Representat
b. F. Caldwell of Illinois, who has large
following for the Democratic Vice Presi-
Dental nomination, will not admit that
he is candidate. Numerous county con-
ventions in his State have instructed for
him, but no expression has been wrung
from him as to his willingness to enter
the race. Ii is suspected chat Mr. Cald-
well prefers a seat in the Senate to the
Vice Presidential nomination or Office He
believes that the Democrats now stand a
good show to eject the next Legislature
in Illinois. owing partly to the fierce fac
tional fight between Senator CullOm and
Governor Tanner. and tha, therefore. Il
Democrat will succeed Mr. CuIlom. IL is
generally conceded that Culloms toga
should fall upon former Vice President
Stevenson if the Democrats carry the
Legislature in November, though on this
point Mr.. Caldwell maintains a discreet
silence. Il am firmly convinced said
Mr.. Caldwell to a Times representative
that the interests of the party demand
the nomination of the candidate for Vice
President from one of three States-IIli-
nOis, Indiana, or New York. The contest
between Bryan and Mckinley in these
States is going to be very close, and if We
can find in one of them man who can
add strength enough to the ticket to give
the electoral vote OF his State to Bryan
we should put that man on the ticket with
the Nebraskan. This view. you see. very
greatly simpliies the prOpOsition-red
1t to the bare question Of the right man
IN one CT three States l do not pretend
TO say who that man Is. II may be that
he is New Yorker or an Indianan, thus
leaving Illinois entirely out of it, All
things being equal however, I believe that
there are two or three Democrats in Hli-
nols either one of whom would add the
required strength to the ticket in that
state. l do not know the field so well In
Indiana or New York. | dare say. though,
that if the leaders OF either OF these
States can show that they have the man We
are looking for he will be accepted by the
Kansas City convention almost without a
protest. II may be that the Illinois De-
mocracy will not need the Vice PTcsi-
Dental nomination at all"
