The erstwhile president-makers on the
Republican side have suspended business
temporarily. Those in "jobS" are devot-
ing their energies to keeping in, and
hose on the outside the breaStworkS
ind that it keeps them hustling to find
l place to locate an entering wedge. AT
present writing Mr.. Roosevelt has every
thing his own way, and as neither he nor
MS friends betray any anxiety about the
problem of succession, there is nothing
for the lukewarm folks to do but 70
mpotently, look as wise as possible, and
scout around for some prominent mall
content who they may use as a rallying-
point or storm center. The truth is
hat all the 'kickers" are either disap-
pointed office-seekers or chronic dis
turberS who are never pleased under any
circumstances. The animuS of their
complaint is SO apparent that it fails to
inspire respectable following or furnish
platform upon which men may stand
and submit to investigation.
One gentleman of national parts about
whose tall figure some are causing pres
idential lightning to fash is Senator
We all like Mr. Fairbanks. He is
clean, affable, experienced in public af-
fairs, and is sound on all the primary is
sues of Republican policy. He is all
right on the Negro problem and can be
relied upon to stand firmly for human
rights and the Constitutional guarantee
of protection to all citizens of every sec
ton or land covered by our flag. He is
an intense American, and like Roosevelt,
knows no individual by his color, race,
extraction or previous condition of SER
vitude-or finance An attempt is being
made by some very worthy Republicans
and by others not SO worthy-to array
Mr. Fairbanks as an anti-administration
candidate fer the presidential nomina-
ton. But he is too shrewd to be caught
by chaff and too level-headed to appear
as the creature of mere wing of the
party organization He has a sure thing
on succeeding himself in the Senate by
the united voice of his followers in the
legislature to be chosen this fall and he
will not risk division of strength by
permitting al impression to 60 abroad
that he is not in thorough accord with
the administration program.
AS a matter of fact, Mr.. Fairbanks
and President Roosevelt are warm per-
sonal friends, and no public man is more
welcome at the White House than In
