Convention.

state might adopt. The expectation
has been that it would be followed by
a direct pledge of support. The
movement now on foot is to offset
this.
Back of the movement to impede
the progress of the Roosevelt boom,
which until lately seemed to have fair
sailing, is said to be the desire of
men who hope that conditions will so
change by next year as to make the
nomination of Mr. Roosevelt imprac-
ticable and open the door to the ad-
mission of other candidates. They
realize that the West and South will
largely be in favor of the Presidents
nomination. If to those sections
these three great states of the East
and Middle West were added his
nomination would be assured year
in advance. But if they refrain from
taking action, added to Indiana
which is sure to do nothing, the sit
uation will be materially changed
and Roosevelt's chances are greatly
lessened.
The man who brings this informa-
tion is of such standing in the party
as to give his statements the stamp
of authority. He has come to Wash
ington to consult with politicians
from these states, and secure their
aid in pushing forward the plans to
prevent the adoption of the resolu
tions making direct pledges of sup
port to the President. In some de
gree at least he has been successful
He has as far as possible, kept the
object of his visit quiet, but inkling'
of it here and there have sifted out
and come to the ears of the public

three days. They report the conven-

The delegates numbered $50 and the
entire delegation pledged their hear

Deaconess Home to be located in To

friend of a house and lot for the
home, should it be located in Toledo,
aroused enthusiasm and went a long
ways towards securing the hearty co.

THE Urbana Citizen opposes en-
dorsing candidates for U. S. Senate,
urging that it cannot bind members
of the Legislature, and that it is
against the spirit of the Federal
Constitution. We do not think its
o objections are insurmountable. 1t is
true that members of a Legislature,
are not bound by such endorsement,
but if the party endorses a candi-
didate the Legislature will ratify it.
When the Office of U. S. Senator goes
be gging in the market as it has in
Ohio and other States, and is sold to
the to the highest bidder, it is much
safer for the party, and much more
certain to represent the wishes of
the people, for the party to give its
endorsement of a candidate, as the
Republicans of Illinois did when they
nominated Abraham Lincoln for Sen
ator against Stephen A. Douglas.
Such a nomination strengthens the
party in its canvass, and prevents
boodling in the Legislature

Senator Foraker's attention being
called to the published interview in

Malloy, and being asked by rep
resentative of the Times-Star as TO
his own views as to what the action
of the Republican State convention
should be in the matter of indorsing

Mr.. Malloy, Mr.. Dover, Senator Pat

l suppose they have their own suffi-
cient reasons therefor. i am quite
sure, however. that they are under
some misapprehensions. If | am not
very much mistaken the Republicans
of Ohio are in favor of the nomina-
tion of Theodore Roosevelt as our
candidate for the Presidency in 1904,
and that they will be very much dis
appointed if we do not so declare at
our State convention. We declared
in 1887 in favor of the nomination of
Mr.. Sherman in 1885, and we declared
in 1895 in favor of the nomination of
William Mckinley in 1896. We have
at least two precedents, therefore,
for such action. OF course, they
were Ohio men, and the case is differ
ent in that respect from this case.
but President Roosevelt has been long
enough in public life and long enough
in the Presidential Office for the peo-
pie of the whole country to have a
correct estimate of him, and | think
it is a pretty nearly universal senti-
ment that he comes up to the re-
quirements of the Office and that un-
der all the circumstances we will be
stronger with him as our party lead
er in 1904 than we can possibly be
with anybody else, for the simple
reason that we can not succeed in

home and commanded respect abroad.
Many states indorsed and declared
last year in favor of him as our can
didate for 1904. Nearly all the
Northern States will make similar
declarations this year. l do not
know of any reason why Ohio should
not also declare in favor of him. I'm

foreseen and improbable occurs, he

theory advanced by one of the inter
viewers that by next year he may be

Washington, ID. c., May 10.
If the statement of a prominent
politician, who is now in the city, can
be taken at par President Roosevelt
is to face three distinct surprises and
disappointments within the next few
weeks. Neither Ohio, Pennsylvania
nor New York will pledge him sup
port for his nomination next year,
and will do nothing more than en-
dorse his administration in the most
perfunctory and commonplace way.
Rumors of such action have been rife
for some time, but until now there
has been no direct confirmation.
The visit here during the week of
Elmer Dover, private secretary to
Senator Hanna, and State Senator
Samuel Patterson gave plain evil
dence of the disposition among the
Hanna people in Ohio to oppose ac-
tion there looking to any formal
pledge of support. Both declared
the idea to be unwise and without
precedent. This might be regarded
as simply voicing the opinion of two
men and therefore be taken as of nc
great Importance were it not for the
fact that following their visit-al'
most before they we're out the city
the further information is brought
that Pennsylvania and New York
contemplate similar action. These
states have been looked upon unit
now as certain to give the President
the most vigorous and hearty sup
port. 1t is true that New York en-
dorsed Roosevelt at the last stat'
convention, but the endorsement wa
of the most formal kind, such as an,
