Washington. March S.-Sinee Gov.
Van SAINT of Minnesota went back
from Washington to Minnesota with
his vice presidential boom, an impress
sion has gone abroad that vice .presi-
Dental politics may soon reach an in
teresting stage. His statement that
Mr.. Roosevelt favored the selection of
a running mate from two or three of
the big Middle Western States has
more significance than was first at
tached to it,.
With Mr.. Roosevelt at the head of
the ticket it is generally. recognized
that the second place must go to a
Western man, and there is some rea-
son, to believe that the cards are be-
ing played for an agreement upon some
man from the Middle West, which
check the aspirations of presidential
rivals. 1t is noteworthy that both Mr..
Hanna and Mr.. Fairbanks come from
the particular states where President
running mate, while just to the north
is Wisconsin, where resides Senator
Spooner, who is pronounced as pres
idential aspirant, but, nevertheless,
widely recognized as possessing good
qualifications for the important office.
1t would be interesting. indeed, if it
should develop that the administration
forces were working for the election
of such man as Mr.. Hanna for the
vice presidency, thereby playing with
his presidential boom the same trick
that Mr.. Hanna attempted at the
Philadelphia Convention, in trying to
play with the ambition of Theodore
Roosevelt.
Friends of presidential possibilities,
who have had reason to inquire into
conditions, particularly in the South.
claim an interesting discovery as to
the Republican National Committee.
No one familiar with inside political
circles doubts the hostility, or at least
indifference of the leading men on that
committee to the nomination of Pres
1dent Roosevelt. But the claim is
made by men who ought to know that
a majority of that committee is with
him, and will further the administra-
ton plans as to the next National
Convention.
1ndI DlI OF information is interesting
because it is serving as a check upon
Would-be invaders of the Southern
field The work of gathering a har-
vest of delegates might be undertaken
down that way, in view of the disaf-
lection among white Republicans be-
cause of the negro troubles in politics.
Were not the prospects of profiting
thereby somewhat forbidding. History
has frequently repeated itself as to
Southern delegations. AS a rule the
delegations from that section get seats
in the convention, when in harmony
with the powers that be. 1t would be
sign that the millennium had come
should anti Roosevelt delegations from
the South secure recognition, for the
squabbling is so violent down that way
that contesting delegations could easily
be. created Practically there would be
no. hope beyond the Republican Ma
tional Committee, and the delegations
for other candidates would have to
cool their heels outside the convention.
Therefore, it is that some of the local
outbursts of late in the Southern
States have received small encourage
ment from men who are looked upon
as having an eye towards the White

New York, March SIT is learned on
excellent authority, the Tribune will

course of few days, and according
to information secured from financiers
who make the Waldorf their headquar-
ters arrangements will be made by
which the minority holders in South
ern Pacific will not carry out their
proposed plan to overthrow the Harri-
man management.
A few days ago, the Tribune article
continues, the secretary of the South
ern Pacific Company was served with
legal notice that an injunction would
be applied for on behalf of Talbot !.
Taylor q Co., representing the mi
nority holders in Southern Pacific, pre-
venting the voting of the Southern Pa
cific stock held by the Union Pacific;
also demanding a list of the stock
holders of the Southern Pacific Conn
pany.
Within an hour of this service the
notice was withdrawn without any ex-
PLANTATION from the law firm represents
ing the Southern Pacific minority hold
ers. Subsequently it wis announced
that the order had been withdrawn,
as 1t was found that a list of the
stockholders could be obtained after
the closing of the company's books on
March 20. The real cause, however, of
this hasty retreat was, according to
reports to-day, overtures from the
Hartman interests for an amicable
settlement of the trouble.
