WASHINGTON. D. c., November La
Representative Hay, who has Just been
rc-elccted to Congress from the seventh
Virginia District by q great maj 1ortty.
does not take any stock in the talk ao9
the reorganization OF the Democratic par
ty ,ndulged in since the overwhelming
defeat of Tuesday. s.I NJ ss Bg IN
THE time has come. when the sonthbs
ern Democrats should assert Themselves (
and refuse to listen longer to the dictates
OF the Northern Democrats .ss said MrI !
Hay, in this city to-day. 1T here is 30
need OF radical yreorga ganization Of the PAP
ty. The Democrats should simply get to-s
gether and stand for true Demo rstio (
principles In 1872, after the disastrou de- e.
feat Of Greeley. It was freely predicted
that the Democratic party was dead. but
Ii lived to administer q defeat to tisS
Republicans In 1854 and ii, so. sI see ne
reason why history may not repeat it.&
self, It is too early to talk about lea ead.s
ers. When the time comes the lead der WILL 4
be found. 1t Is 8 &. s$s4
@ II feel con fid ent that the South viii /
not again refuse TO ask representation on I
the national ticket. II a Southern man
had been nominated ut :!St. Louis instead ],
Of Judge Parker, 1t he defeat could not
have been more serious. Indeed, ,FsI be-
5llevc Missouri and N1ary land would laVeg

I do mot believe there IS q single South

the nomnnti ion OF a. S5outh thern man in 1909.
The question . pfs availab ility should not

Talking Of Daniel.
Colonel Button. secretary! Of the Vir--!
ginia Democratic Committee, said In New l
York the morning after the election that y
he was for John Daniel for n the esi-5
dencyI in 1905 II have heard ma ny DEM
Socrats express n similar opinion. ~ e " is 4
plain that there will for the first time i
since the war be an effort to- secure he 4
nomination of a man from the Sou tn. 41e

the South arc to be the conservat 1--WE Aele-#

Roosevelt and South.
d The proposed visit Of President Rooee-
welt to the Worlds F'airRgan his pro-E
jected trip to Georgia before his lnaugu-s
ration, indicates that lie has it In mind N
to make some radical changes In policy
when ho shall have come into the &presl-S
dency by election. It Is said on the oc-@
Scasion Of both visits tho President will q
people Of the South. and shake hands.
He will undoubtedly mako some, speechea Y
on the occasion OF tho st. Louis trip, but
Sit&is when he goes down to his nother'a II
old home In Georgia that he will deliver
tho address which will fully. outline his p
policy towards the negro and the South M
generally. 5s3
One is struck with tho difference m Of at att
ftitude Of Southern and Northern Demo-
Gratis since tho tremendous Republican,
Victory OF last Tuesday. The Democrats
Of the North are smiling anu the Wish s%
is expressed In every inst stancc that the 4
Republicans will now &c. forward with
their schemes OF government and pnt
into cffcot every one Of them believed to-
be favored by Mr.. Roosevelt s
u go the whole hog Is the cry OF tho
Democrats OF the North with whom / 4
have talked. In New York and this city.
since tho election The wish Is express-$E
ed that tho administration Will put Into
effect every one of the declurations OF
tho Republican platform, and that all
policies announced by Mr.. Roosevelt wiz
be carried out to the utmost, n $5
The Southern View.
The Southern view Is different In every
instance, The hope is expressed by every
Southern Democrat with whom II have
discussed election results, that there nlay
1,.ll-a ,f,lr. ~
the Southern neople took of tho Presi-
dents attitude towards Southcrn people.
and that nav, as he has beer elected by
such an overwhelming pup,llart majority, 81
he will demonstrate that he Is the friend
of tho South, and that he has no desire
to punish cor offend Southern people.
They are not pleading for fayors or nier- q
cy but they do want the square deal, Z, Ii
Of which tho President spoke in his now
celebrated reply to Judge Farker's attack
upon him. The same expression was used
by Tho Times-Dispatch In an editorials
yesterday, which has been much CONS d
mented on and commendedt In this city.
Tho development OF these two vtew-
points carries the conviction that there
will be found nowhere in tho country
more loyal supporters OF his adninistra-
ton than In the South, II Mr.. Roosevelt
will but demonstrate to the people OF that
section that he sympa thizes with the cons
ditions prevailing there, and that he la d
willing and ready to help make thaul
better. II Is not improper to sayHlhat
while the President has not authorized
anybody to say that there Will DO any
change Of his pollnyr-towards the South.
there are Indications that he tontem-
plates moving TO make the Southern peo- 4
pla understand that ha has been misiIn- -is
derstood, and that he viii try 10 hep
them solve the problems Which now cons
front them, Every man from the South
viii be willing TO pledge his adminis-
tration the loyal support Of the people az
