Chicago, Nov. 5.-United States
Senator Fred T. Dubois of Idaho pre-
dicted to-day that President Roose-
welt would be defeated If nominated
for the presidency. Senator Hanna,
he declared, would make a better run
than President Roosevelt.
He based his predictions on the be-
lief that President Roosevelt would
not have the support of the financial
interests Of the east and middle west.
The election results of yesterday, Sena-
tor Dubois believes, are significant Of
a turn in the tide of public sentiment
against the present administration.
Other democrats also predicted the
republican party's defeat in the ma
tional election.
eff a candidate like Judge Parker
of New York, on whom the different
factions in the democratic party can
unite, is chosen, I believe President
Roosevelt will be defeated" said the
senator; in passing thru the city.
Trust and financial interests in the
east and middle west will oppose Pres
ident Roosevelt, and I believe the
people want change. They are dis
gusted with the postoffce and land
scandals, the initiation Of stocks and
things in general.
Cleveland Not Available.

Cleveland would stand no more show
than Bryan. He would be opposed by
the west and the south. Judge Par
ker appears to be the logical candi-
date. AS his running mate I would
pick some Indiana man, perhaps
Mayor Taggart of indianapolis or B.
F. Shively.
1.-THE election results in New York
do not show the real strength Of the
party there. There were many demo-
Gratis who voted the fusion ticket, but
VIII vote the democratic ticket at the
presidential election. The election in
dicates that public sentiment is drift
ing away from the administrations
James II. Eckels, former controller
of the currency, stated that the "re-
publicans would find 1t difficult tc
carry a number Of eastern states
against "a democrat who is in accord
with old-time democratic principles
The defeat of Tom Johnson in Ohio
he believes, presages the choice of a
conservative man, but whether II
would be his friend, Mr.. Cleveland, he
did not predict.
Harrison's View of It. 80
Mayor Harrison does not regard the
result of the elections in Greater New
York and the state of Ohio as indi-
eating the defeat of Organism and
the fall of it's leader or the nomina-
ton of Grover Cleveland by the next
democratic national convention.
II fail to see why the election OF
Mcclellan is regarded as a victory fol-
Cleveland and a defeat for HILL saiG
the mayor. cit is claimed that Muir.
ply, the Tammany leader, Is a friend
of Cleveland and an enemy of Hill
do not know that either proposition
is true.
tom Johnson represented a lot o.
things besides Organism. He was {
single taxer and advocated tax reform
True, he presented principles advo
Gated by Mr.. Bryan, but that was no
the cause of the big majority agains
him.
THE elections do not mean thu
overthrow of Mr.. Bryan. When tn
next national convention meets, Mr.
Bryan will have a good deal to say
about who shall be the presidential
nominee, and I do not believe he will
be Grover Cleveland"
