HAS LOST GROUND
LIvERNAsH iAYs ROOSEVELT
 LOST FRIENDS IN WEST.
His Utterances Showed His Lack of Statesmanship-Pacific Coast
 Democrats arc Serene a tF and Hopeful.

AzsEnskaneton, Aug AtSpeciMf Ja@Txep= resentative-elect p. J. Livernash, one of the three Democrats gained in California at the last election. is in Washington on a labor arbitration question. He. talked interestingly today to the correspondent on the political situation. He regards the outlok for Democratic success on the Pacific Coast as very good, the party be- ing united and in excellent spirits.
 Are the court Democrats inclined to hang on to silver?'' was asked and the reply was:
 Mot at all. Silver is dead, very dead out our way. There seems to be a gen. eral disposition among Democrats to re- turn to the old conservative ideas which won victories for the party soon after the civil war when there was a revulsion against Republican corruption and ex- travagance."
 What about Bryant"
 "Well. We arc not bothering about Bryan. His methods have no sort of approval out our way. In his abuse of those who differ with him, particularly in his coarse characterization of the only man who has been elected President twice and three times honored by the nomina- ton of the National Democracy, MT. Cleveland, shows the Nebraskan descend ed to a vulgarian. On the other hand Cleveland's contemptuous silence with his excellent conduct ever since his retire. ment which he has maintained with hon. esty and dignity shows the party that It had for standard bearer three times Q leader worthy of the great honor."
 What about the talk of the great pop ularity of President Roosevelt in the far West?''
 Tt Is far from what 1t has been repre- sented," was the answer. "Mr. Roose- welt has lost ground on the coast. There is a widespread feeling among conserva- tive business men in which Republicans snare 10 a large extent that the financial establishment of the country is unstable and there is consequently a sense of ap- prehension for the future. There is among the Republicans distinctly to be seen a Roosevelt and anti-Roosevelt faction. MT. Roosevelt was stronger in the West. in my opinion before he made his great trip last spring. People expected some thing like statesmanlike deliverances but he came and though he made numerous speeches there was not a satisfying ut terance in all his vast loss of words. Peo- pie who are of expectant of a great po- liticai leader are not going to be content with mere homilies on personal conduct and rectitude. such as MT. Roosevelt IS in the habit of making"

BEBEL WAS KISSED
"UNcRowNED KINGS, scoRMED
 FELLOW SOCIALISTS.
Incident Was Result of Intense Eactional Fight Among the German Socialists--Exciting
 Discussion Followed.

Berlin, Aug. 29.-Herr Rebel, the So- cialist leader, called the 'Uncrowned King by the Social Democrats, was hissed at the Social Democratic conven- ton held in Berlin this week. during a controversy over the Reichstag vice presidency question. This indicates tho intensity of the factional struggle which Is going on in the party during the pee riod oe it's greatest triumph and which win be fought out in the party's na- tional convention at Dresden in Septena- Der. It is a renewal of the BebeI- Bern stein dispute of 1901. Herren Rebel and Singer and the old party chiefs which follow doctrinary aims are rigid in their determination not to participate in the ideas on which the party has grown pow erful. while Herr Bernstein. who Is an opportunist and moderate, favors a re- vision of the Socialist program, espe- cially so that the party, recognizing the existing conditions, may combine with and utilize the political elements so as to secure partial realization of its aims.
 Herr Bernstein has announced tat fl would be a good nartx straise danaanal the office of the First President of the Reichstag instead of accepting a lower Presidency, the Socialists being the next most numerous party to the center party. Herr Berbel and Singer, how ever, SalQ no, Since Ntcc-EEcSlucuS Ol the Reichstag would involve a compro- mise with the monarchy and it would be necessary for a specialist holding of- flee to wait on the sovereign and con- graduate him on the new year and other ocasions ''to crawl on his stomach be- fore the representative of unjust institu- tions."
 He added that the Vice-Presidency would also involve compromises with oth- CT parties. intail responsibilities outside the Socialist sphere and limit the weap- ons and resources of the opposition.
 Herr Bernstein is joined in his stand by the artistocrat Won Vollemar and the able writer. David, who affirm 1t Is time the party grasped some of the agencies of Government prepared for the day it will take over the whole of the Gov ernment, adding that responsibilities should be sought for, not evaded. They claim that a Socialist in the presence of the sovereign need only act as a gem tleman without modifying his opinions.
 Behind the Vice-Presidency question are two tendencies, to be either great liberal party, postponing insistence on it's theoretical views of Government un- til conditions ripen or standing stead fastly by Socialist principles without yielding a title to conventional practices and compromises.
 Herren Bebel Bernstein, Singer and won Vollmar affirm that they will strive to preserve party unity and say that the Rlee of the ministerial conservatives and members of the center party over the divisions of Socialists are untimely and exaggerated.

 Chicago. Aug M.--After meeting of striking walters which was held tonight, President Callahan of the Hotel and Res taurant EmpIoyeaI international Alii- arce. declared that general strike of the walters had been called and that all men in the city would be out on Monday.
