Cannon, Taft and La Toilette Re-
garded as Possibilities for
Ticket in 1908.
PLURALITY FIGURES
SHOW UP ROOSEVELT
Cortelyou's Splendid Work No
Small Factor in Republican
Campaign.
nv w. w. Jermane.

Washington, Nov. l7.-LAst week in
this correspondence the names of three
Odell and Root-were
named as presidential possibilities In
1908 on the republican side. That list
must now be increased by the addition
of the names of Speaker Cannon, Secre-
tary Taft and Governor La Toilette.
This early talk about 1908 is caused
by the announcement that President
Roosevelt will not be a candidate
again. The way is thus open for all
corners, and the republican national
convention four years hence bids falr
to be a freefor-all.
If Speaker Cannon holds his own
physically, he may be the strongest
Candidate in the list named. He was
born in 1886, and will, therefore,, be
70 years old when the next preslden-
tial campaign arrives. He has shown
no sign of physical breakdown, and his
friends believe that he is good for fully
ten years more of energetic public
service.
Senator Cullom of Illinois has always
prided himself that he resembled Lin
coin in appearance. Uncle Joe Can
non, however, resembles him in man
ner. Such men as Secretary Hay say
that Cannon is more like Lincoln IN
essential mental makeup and habits OF
thought than any man the country has
produced since Lincoln g time.
Cortelyou Is Happy.

publican party today is Chairman Cor

ton of Roosevelt, it is yet fact that
the personality of Cortelyou, and the
high plane on which he placed the re-
publican campaign, were contributing
factors of no small Importance.
Mr.. Cortelyou is the best living illus,

Washington, Nov. 17.-Frank J.

Panama canal commission, explaining

with which you have served has amply
justified this belief. am sorry that you

McCLEARY SEES
REVISION LIGHT
Minnesota "standpatter" Calls on
President and Is Open to
1T Argument.
Tariff Changes Might Not Be a
Calamity to the Coun-
try.
Special to The journal.

Chicago, Nov. ia Chronicle spe-
cial from Washington says: 49,
Mr.. McCleary OF Minnesota, who be-
longs to that class of standpatters that
have heretofore met all suggestions ap-
pertaining to tariff tinkering with
fierce denunciatiOn, amazed his friends
when, after an interview with the pres
by the fifty-ninth congress might not
be calamity.
"My own Judgment ISL said Mr..
McCleary, "that if the tariff is to be
revised in the next four years, it will
be better that it be done at an early
day.. Personally l am standpatter,''
but if a gain for the whole people. of
revision Of the tariff, either up or down,
l am for it, The effect on the whole
people seems to me to be the final test
upon the question. AS to that, no de-
cision has been reached.'
President Roosevelt is handling this
delicate subject with such consummate
skill and tact that, instead of exciting
astrous divisions in his own party, he
is actually bringing together on COM
mon ground men who represent every
shade of tariff thought.
President Gaining Mastery.
The president is gradually gaining a
mastery of the situation that will here
after enable him to bring forth a de-
cisive program, which will doubtless
receive the Endorsement Of his party
in congress.
While the "standpatters' are dis
posed at this time to point to the result
of the late election as an Endorsement
of their position, and assert that there
is 4ess reason now than ever before to
revise the tariff, they are reader to
listen to arguments on the other side Of
the case. -,
1t is not an exaggeration to say that
the simple fact that the president has
suggested the advisability of consider
ing revision, in itself constitutes a
powerful and even determining influ-
ence on this class of legislators. They
realize that Mr.. Roosevelt 8 views are
likely to appeal strongly to the Ameri-
can people.
Southern Representation.
The question of reducing southern
representation under the powers vested
in congress by the fifteenth amendment
presents SO many complex features, &C.
oording to well-informed republican
leaders, that even tho it should be taken
up in earnest by the ffty-ninth con
gress, no satisfactory result can be
achieved for several years.
It is curious fact that great many
influential northern republicans are not
disposed to deal with the subject. They
have no serious convictions in opposi-
ton to the program which has repeat.

OLD MEN NOT WANTED.
Pension Commissioner Ware Tells OF
His Experiences.

Washington, June 7-(Special.)-
THE Pesion Bureau is on the verge of
senility already, and / don't propose to
do anything that will lower its stand
ard of efficiency
That was the brave declaration of
Commissioner Ware one day this week
when a caller asked for a position for
a broken down veteran. Mr.. Ware
listened to the presentation of the
claims OF the office-seeker and then
made the statement quoted.
when came here" went on the
Commissioner, II had about six vacan-
cies to fill. Everybody seemed to think
that the Pension Bureau was a haven
of rest for veterans who had outlived
their usefulness in other fields of ac-
tivity. Several hundred of the finest
specimens of the past were brought to
me and 1 was asked to appoint them to
soft snap jobs. An experience that
had with one man will serve as an ex-
ample of all the cases.
This particular aspirant for a posi-
ton in the Pension Bureau was escor-
ted by two United States Senators and
five representatives. He was more
fitted for an easy chair in a Home for
the aged than a government desk. l
was told that he was the youngest col
onel of the civil war. I explained very
frankly to the delegation that 1 could
not appoint the man unless he passed
the civil service examination; that I
was running the Bureau as a business
establishment and not on a political
basis.
The candidate insisted that he could
pass the required examination. and
told him If he did would appoint him,
but wanted to know what I was get
ting when I selected clerks. A week
or so later another bevy of represen-
tatives came in to urge me to appoint
the colonel. evidently fearing that the
man had not made good front before
the Civil Service Board. I refused to
do so, and along came the colonel, He
admitted that he thought he had not
done we'll in the examination, and when
I pressed him for the reason he said
that he had been out with the boys the
night before and could not quite un-
derstand the questions
Mr.. Ware insisted that he intended tC
have young. active ana industrious
clerks and that superannuated veter-
ans need not apply.
