Thinks His Chances for Nomina-
ton Are Hurt by His Reputa-
ton as "Slick Politician"
VIEWS OF A CONGRESSMAN.
Believes Judge Parker of New
York Will Be the Democratic
Nominee for President
in 1904.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington, Dec 25-"I have made up
my mind as to the man who is to be nomi-
mated by the Democratic party for the
presidency. and also the man who is to
manage the campaign" said Representa-
tive Cooper of Texas to-day. Judge Par
ker will be nominated and Senator Cor
man will manage the campaign as chair
man of the National Committee
But how about the candidacy OF Mr..
German for the nomination." Mr. Cooper
was asked.
Senator German would make an excel
lent candidate and a great President, but
if / can catch the drift of sentiment
among Democrats everywhere, it is not
running toward German for the nomina-
ton. During the last six months have
been in New York a great deal and have
talked with Democrats constantly in the
cloakroom of the House of Representa-
tiyes. 1 think 1 have had an excellent OPP
portunity to judge of the sentiment that
exists in relation to the candidates who
have been mentioned from time to time.
NO." he continued, in reply to ques-
ton, II cannot Tell you who would be OPP
posed to the nomination to German. do
not know that any one would be. He is
highly regarded in the party. But when
Democrats constantly say German would
make good candidate, If and Cor
man would make a good candidate, but
- know what that means There is
always an if or a but whenever the
name of German is mentioned.
'.Now, the fact is, Senator German
is known MI over the country as a
politician He is spoken of very
generally as slick politician
Somehow, that sort of sentiment,
when it gets broadcast, does not do
n man any good among the people
| when 1t comes to making q selection
for high office.
People don't like those qualifications
| in connection with a presidential candt-
date. They do not give strength among
| the ordinary voters. 1t is hard to get VI
enthusiasm in the face Of such a reputa-
| ton.
Il hope to make myself thoroughly IN:
derstood. admire Senator German and
| his great ability, but 1 am simply, al
| your request, giving my views as to his
| position just at this time in relation to
| the nomination
These qualifications of a shrewd politf.
| clan that are so generally accredited to
Mr.. German are qualifications that point
| TO him as the manager of the next cam
| paign. I do not doubt that there will be
| a very general demand on Mr.. German tc
manage the campaign. and do not doubt
| that he will do it,
