WHY THEY PREFER HIM.

Chicago IntepOcean: A western
Democrat, who is a United States SEN
ator. said in Washington on Friday:
1t will be very difficult for the Dem
ocrats TO nominate a man who can
poll the full Democratic vote in the
west against President Roosevelt
This Democratic senator believes
that many of the Democrats who vot-
ed for Mckinley in 1896 and 1900 will
vote for Roosevelt in 1904, and, in adj
dition, many of the Democrats who
voted for Bryan in 1900 will vote for
Roosevelt In preference TO Cleveland
in 1904. In the view of this Democrat
ic senator the Bryan Democrats will
| support Mr.. Roosevelt, not because he
represents their views or their poll
tics. but because Of his courage in
attacking trust evils. Many Populists,
il is declared. who left the Republi-
can party years ago, will feturn be-
cause president Roosevelt has restor-
ed confidence In the Republican party
as a party of the plain people, as well
as of the rich and powerful. He is
the most popular president We have
ever had, so far as popularity is based
on confidence In the courage as well
as the integrity OF a great executive
On the same day that this declara.
ton was made in Washington. form
er State Senator Edwin Taylor. one
OF the Populist leaders in Kansas, said,
in an interview: Between Wall
street and Roosevelt. | stand for Roos
eyelt. He is not exactly our kind OF
people, but he has courage. Kansas
will give Roosevelt 100000 majority
but lots of the Kansans who will vote
for him will continue TO hate his
ideals"
These interviews were given to thI
public after the president had visited
many of the western states and hat
met the people face to face, after HI
had made several notable speeches
defining his policy on the more impor
tant questions.

was undressing him at night:

that?' his mother asked.

The prompt announcement OF Sen
ator Hanna for the nomination OF
President Roosevelt and the indorse-
ment of the Ohio convention. which
will certainly follow, calls to mind the
fact that already the Republican con.
yentions of nine states have endorsed
his administration and declared in
favor of his nomination next year.
And among these are the great states
of PENNSYLVANIA. New York and ILL
nois. No other man seems even to
be- considered, SO successful has the
administration proven and so close
Ia the popular heart is Roosevelt. In
deed were the election to occur this
q a and the national conventions
within the next month. ii is doubtful!

Gent courage To put "A man IN nomina'

Democrats could not hope TO secure

TO be questioned whether the prospect
is any better for them in 1904. The
solid south votes the Democratic
ticket. not because the people down
there believe in the principles of the
Democratic parry-if that word can be
applied to anything Democratic-but
because they are so terribly preju'
