THEY WANT A Big BAR'L
DEMOCRATS FAVOR w. a. CLARK
FOR CAMPAIGN MANAGER.
Desire Him to Act as Chairman of the
Congregational Committee, but He
Is DisincIined to Accept.
Dec,aI 70 the indianapolis Journal.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March Nv. A. Clark,
the richest man I'm the Senate, has been
frequently spoken of recently as a good
chairman of the Democratic congressional
campaign committee. The Democrats are
in earnest in seeking him and the disincl-
nation is entirely on his part. The mere
fact that the Democrats are willing 10 have
this plutocrat as the chairman of an active
campaign committee tells more eloquently
than many words Of the changed conditions
in the Democratic party as IL is 10 be OBJ
served by its representatives in Washing
ton. Representative Richardson has retired
from the Craftsmanship OF this committee,
and, although he did so willingly. the
change was none the less political neces-
sity. He represents the old regime. In the
Senate James X. Jones has been practi-
cally deposed as the leader OF the minority.
and when the time comes Will be displaced
as the chairman of the national committee.
Even these natural changes hardly pre-
pare one to expect the Democrats TO be
willing to accept w. A. Clark. with all Lis
riches, as chairman Of campaign commit
tee 1t is true that he dug many Of his mill
lions out of the earth, and has always been
regular in his devotion to the party. even
though it was known that his interests and
possibly secret sympathies were in another
direction. His relations with the big corpo-
rationS of the country are naturally very
close and there Is nothing Of the Populst
or theory chaser about him His viewpoint
on financial questions is identical with that
OF j. Pierpont Morgan. No matter whether
Mr. Clark accepts the place or not the sig
nifcance of Democratic eagerness TO have
him remains.
When Mr.. Clark finally landed in the Sem
ate there was some doubt as TO whether he
would remain throughout his term the
Democratic side. His business and personal
associates in the East were mainly Repub-
hcans. The impression obtained that bust
ness conditions in Montana would eventu-
ally change that State over TO the Repub-
licans. He believes in expansion, subscribes

with il on the money question, even though
he did not vote, and, in fact, was a
Republican in most things, excepting the
thing IN politics for him TO slowly have
changed his political position, and with
eminently proper motives. Ii should be
made clear that he had nothing 10 do with
this speculation. 1t now appears that he Is
becoming very comfortable on the Demo-
cratic side. 1t is longer disgraceful 20

ate. There is a sprinKling of milliOnaires
over there and they frankly admit that
they are not poor. II the same change is
going on throughout the country as is 10 be
clearly noticed in Washington there Is not
much doubt the Democrats viii be looking
for a very conservative man when the time
comes 10 select a presidential candidate.

JUDGE TAFT SANGUINE
THINKS THE PHILIPPINES WILL BE
AMERICANIZED IN TWO YEARS.
Islands May Then be Governed the
Same as United States Territories
Waller to Be Tried.

CINCINNATI, March TN eighteen
months. or two years at the most, matters
will have progressed so far in the establish
ment Of permanent government in the
Philippines that the commission that has
been in the islands for the past two years
in the interests of the United States may
be relieved of the work it has been pur-
suing"
Thus spoke Governor William III. Taft,
head of the Philippine commission, who
has returned from Washington to Cincin-
natl to spend several weeks before return
ing TO the East to complete the work that
was largely responsible for his return to
the United States.
1--WE hope to have things running suffi-
GENTLY smooth by the beginning of 1904 to
allow the islands TO be governed are
any of the other Territories of the United
States. have every reason to believe that
Congress will take speedy action on the
governmental and tariff bills that concern
the Philippines, and that form of govern
ment for the islands. together with the
desired tariff legislation, will be put into
force at very early period.
During the time 1 was in the East I
received many inquiries in regard to the
Philippines from men who had or claimed
TO have large financial interests. There is
no doubt that as soon as Congress fixes
a form of government and tariff matters
are settled that there will be a large influx
of American capital into the islands. which
can but have a beneficial result on condi-
tions there The way the big financiers
regard the Philippines is perhaps best illus
trated by "a statement made to me by j.
Pierpont Morgan, who assured me that
with a government established the Philip
pine islands bonds could be sold in New
United States"
Referring to the stories that have been
circulated from time 10 time as to his
taking a place i'm the Cabinet of President
Roosevelt Governor Taft said: You can
not make denial of that report too strong.
l have but one desire-to return TO the
Philippines to assist in the completion of
the work that the commission has under
taken. President Roosevelt has expressed
the same desire, and no circumstances over
which / have control can keep me from
that work f"

n prominent Republican, referring TO the
remark of the Journal that most of the re-

the Journal stated. There may be two or
three exceptions in the State, but the re-
liable counties as a rule select county Of

speaker lives in bunch of such counties.

but the result is accepted as decisive and
there is no trouble about the ticket after
the primaries have ben held. There has
never been such a contest as the sending
of two delegates to a state convention,
such as occurred in a southern county one
day this week.

For long time past the so-calIed bet

which means the best element of the COM
munity, has been protesting against the
convention method of making nominations.
1t has been asserted a great many times,
and with some show of reason, that this
was simply a cut-and-dried method of
nominating tickets which Republicans from
principle must support or throw away their
votes. reform was demanded, and it is
offered in the system of nominating by pr-
mary election. This enables every Repub-
lican to express his individual choice and
