FIXING TIME AND PLACE FOR HOLDING
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION


Olney or any of that old guard be nom-
mated, New York will be the prize.
Her railroad and hotel accommodations
are, of course, the most extensive in the
country. Roosevelt comes from that
State and appreciates the situation.
Should that State make a real earnest
effort, look out for its success.
Kansas City isnot regarded as serious,
on account of the politics of the COM
munity, although that city will do her
CINCINNATI CENTRAL.
Cincinnati could, it is believed, make
a very creditable race, if she would try
hard. She is central, has very large
and fine convention hall, many railroads
and hotels and other facilities, but it is
believed to be doubtful if she will make
much Of an effort especially if Indi-
annapolis is in the race in good earnest.
PACIFIC COAST ADVANTAGES.
San Francisco has many times sought
the Republican National convention
and has presented many attractions, but
she has usually been late in entering the
race and her people have not gotten
together WELL There is always a desire
to visit San Francisco by nearly every
one who attends the convention. One
great secret desire ON the part of many
of the National committeeman to give
the convention to San Francisco is one
that is not generally known. 1t is to
get rid of the hangers-on. those who
come out Of curiosity, who contribute
nothing to the convention or the cam
paign and only want amusement. These
men and women annoy the committee
men for tickets Of admission and all
sorts of favors. They will not travel so
far, and thus the convention would be
a business one, and there would be few
annoyances. And then San Francisco
is substantial contributor to the
campaign fund.
No one here will venture guess as
to where the convention will be held,
but all predict that it will be held in
early June.
ONE IMPORTANT QUESTION
Who will be President Roosevelt's
running mate, if he is nominated? This
is question foremost in the minds of
, politicians in Washington now. Few
, there are who do not predict President
, Roosevelt's nomination by accamation.
{ The opposition within the party, and
; the leaders of the Democratic organ
ization, are making every effort to stir
up strife, and they~will from this time
forward make it appear that there is
substantial opposition within the lead
e ers file of the party to continuance of
3 the present regime Roosevelt will, be
yond doubt, find little opposition at the
K convention worthy of notice.
ROOSEVELT'S RUNNING-MATE.
Who will be Roosevelt's running-mate
s will likely continue question until
y the convention assemblies. While it is
+ true that Cornelius n Bliss was rendered
v the nomination. SO far as it could be, by
0 President Mckinley, as early as Febru
Il ary 1900, and while President Roosevelt

nomination, his closest friends declare
II he will keep hands off, unless it should
d appear to him at the last moment that
d some unworthy or offensive man is on
n the slate.
l. Just at this moment the insiders who
s. visit the White House believe that Les
e. lie NJ Shaw of Iowa, Secretary of the
"a Treasury, will be Roosevelts running
r. mate. Shaw was a capable and salts
j. factory Governor of Iowa, and is sound.
n BEVERIDGE COULD HAVE IT.
is Senator Albert j. Beveridge of Indi-
a ana the best all-around campaigner of
t the Presidents friends, could likely have
the nomination, but he is up for re-elec-
ton to the Senate next year, and is an
y, aspirant to the Presidency in 1908, and
er his friends say he is sincere in not desr
1e ing the second place on the ticket mex
rg year.
IN Senator Dolliver of Iowa, who declined
ne the nomination at Philadelphia in 1900
ne could also have the honor it is believed
a but he continues to say he perfers tC
remain in the Senate.
Gov. Winfield T. Durbin, who ha:
