DENEEN'S SELECTION

H. Won Kupffer, editor of the Berliner
Local Anzeiger, one of the big papers of
Germany. paid a call upon the President
this morning and they discussed the friend
ly relations existing between this country
and Germany. Both expressed gratlf1ca-
ton at the constant increasing evidences OF
friendliness not only of an international
nature. but between the two peoples. Mr..
Won Kupffer said he found the President
an exceedingly amiable, courteous and in
telligent executive and was delighted to
meet him. In Germany, he said the Presi-
dent was held in high esteem, and was re-
garded as one of the great rulers OF the
world. This judgment of the German edi-
tor is almost daily proven at the White
House. 1t is seldom that a day passes
that there are not among the visitors to
the White House several Germans. There
were two German visitors today besides the
Berlin editor, and the President received
them cordially The impression the Ger
mans bring with them to this country and
carry away after seeing the President. ia
that Mr.. Roosevelt and Emperor William
have many characteristics alike and that
both are strong, able men. They all speak
i'm praise of the President and praise him
to their fellow countrymen I'm the United
States. The President speaks German
fuently and sometimes falls into the lam
guage to the great surprise of his Prus-
sian visitors. But this merely adds to the
pleasant impression the visitors carry
away with them:
Satisfied as to Illinois.
A number of visitors told the President
today that the nomination of Deneen for
governor by the republicans OF Illinois il
satisfactory solution of a difficult situa-
ton. One of these sanguine people was
Representative Dalzell of Pennsylvania,
who ran in for a chat with the President
about political affairs and about an ap-
pcintment.
Il think that the action of the convention
was the best that could have been taken"
said Mr.. Dalzell. "Deneen appears to be
popular with all classes in Illinois. and 1
think that the long fight will have no dis
advantages to the republican party after
ali. Deneen will receive the support of the
friends of Gov. Yates and of the inde-
PENDENT. thinking class which opposed
Yates"
About the same view was expressed by
eN-Representativez Henderson OF Illinoss
who saw the President. Mr. Henderson
said the nomination was q good one and
would result in much enthusiasm during
the coming campaign. Deneen, he said,
was an able. brilliant man.
Representative Brick of Illinois who
spent some time with the President said
that at one time there was some uneasI-
ness as to the situate in Illinois but that
the action OF the convention in nominating
Deneen for governor would overcome ali
this and that Illinois could be safely ranked
in the republican column in November by
a large majority. Mr.. Brick told the
president that Indiana can be counted on
FOR the usual republican ma jority
Representative Humphreys of Washing
ton told the President that Washington il
republican to greater degree now than
ever before. Thousands of democrats will
vote the republican presidential ticket" he
said. "and the state will be overwhelmingly
republican in November"
