Why is not Governor Garvin of Rhode
Island. n Democratic presidential pos
sibility? A Democrat who can carry
that State two years in succession is
certainly not to be sneeZed at.--Phila-
delphia Press.
Governor Garvin is an able, upright
and popular man. but his victory in
Rhode Island was personal rather than
political. This year the Republicans
carried the Legislature and elected all
the other state officials and nobody
doubts that Rhode Island will be in the
Republican column by comfortable
margin in 1904. He is very likely a
better man for the presidency than the
Democrats will nominate. but his loca-
tion is so much against him that his
name is hardly mentioned in that con-
nection.
