family he will keep his political am
bitions in the background, because Of
his desire to be Mr.. Roosevelts sue
cessor in the white house"
That this matter of the ambition of
Secretary Shaw has been watched by
the president for some time is no
secret. 1t will be recalled that last
summer certain of the newspapers
were filled with stories Of how j. w.
Blythe, of Iowa, was being importun-
ed by President Roosevelt to become
head of the campaign committee. When
the president wrote his letter just a
few days before election indicating who
he had wanted for chairman before he
pushed Cortelyou to the front he did
not include the name of Secretary
Shaw's chief hacker in Iowa. The
omission might have been accidental,
but in this connection it is pertinent
to repeat the story of the Blythe con-
nection with the Craftsmanship as 1t
was told last June. The story was
given circulation in the Sioux City
Journal under Washington date line
and was:
1.-THE story In relation to j. w.
Blythe of Iowa, and national chair
manship is justaas interesting as that
of Franklin J. Murphy. They differ,
however, in atmosphere as they say In
art. When the name Of Secretary Shaw
became prominent as a vice. -presiden-
tial candidate there suddenly appeared
in a newspaper far away from Iowa an
account of how he had pardoned q no.
torious criminal to help congressman
out in a political way. There was
nothing in the story. as politics go, but
1t was sufficient to set number OF
men thinking, and Shaw suffered.
"Up to this time the friends of
Shaw. who Is a candidate for president
in 1908, had looked upon the vice.
presidency as most desirable. Mr..
Shaw became interested in having j..
w. Blythe chairman Of the national
committee and Mr.. Blythe's eminent
capabilities were suggested diplomatic
ally to the president. Naturally, his
purpose was to have Mr.. Blythe, his
strongest Iowa friend, control the ma
tional organization In the interest OF
his presidential ambition. Naturally.
shaw's enemies say thru this and made
their plans accordingly.
Senator Dolliver and a few other
politicians from Iowa called upon the
president to tell him that Blythe would
be an excellent man for the place.
Their praise Of the Burlington lawyer,
was most effusive (and cordial Also
1t would be great satisfaction to the
president to have a man in control OF
his campaign who would be In such
close touch and coldiSi sympathy with
his secretary Of the treasury Mr.
Shaw. Were they close friends; the
president sought to know. Oh. yes;
like brothers.
"That was enough. Mr.. Roosevelt
could see no reason why his campaign
should be run in the interest of Mr..
Shaws presidential canvass.
I'VE did what we, could for him,
said Mr.. Dolliver to one of Shaw's
friends. with smile SO friendly and
regretful. I hardly see how you
could have done more replied the
other, with warm shake of the hand
And yet we wonder at the ways OF
oriental diplomacy"
