THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.


Every day makes the election ol
President Roosevelt by sure major
ity in the ELECTORAL college more GER
tain. Neither Judge Parker nor the
Democratic platform has appealed to
the Imagination of the people OF
awakened any enthusiasm Judge Par
ker attracted some attention by his
golu-standard telegram, but since
then he has been disappointment
and he is growing weaker as the cam
paign progresses.
The fact is that President Roose.
welt is more typical of the American
/. character and all that Americans ad-
mire in a leader than any other man
now prominent in public life. He is
strong. brave, resourceful, and inn
buded with tireless energy and
earnestness in all he does which ap-
peals strongly to public sympathy and
awakens the enthusiasm of the mass
eS
HIS fearless honesty and wise Off
cial conduct give assurance that he
will always stand where his judgmen1
of what his right tells him to stand.
Neither demagogy on the one hand
nor desire on the other to gain the
approval of men of wealth can swerve
him from the path of duty: and of
this the American people are fully con
vinced by the record he has made
from the beginning of his public ca
reer until this day. 1t is this that
gives him so powerful hold upon
ha al i
the people
He represents the Republican party
in fact. like the party. he does
things" The man who admlres the
energy and ability to accomplish
something for the public good which
has all along marked the course OF
Republican party finds in President
Roosevelt all that appeals to his i'm
agination and to his hope for the flu
ture.
Judge Parker, on the other hand
represents in his personality the
Democratic party-over-cautiou hes
itating, ready to halt, outlining no
original policy, achieving no notable
work. The inaction and the conserva-
tism OF the Democracy are typifed in
the Democratic candidate. and this is
why since the convention which nomi-
mated him adjourned he has been
more and more disappointing.
1t looks now as If the Democratic
campaign for the presidency will fall
down before the day of election, and
that al the end there will be no ore
in all the land surprised at the result
II seems to be becoming more and
more evident that the Democratic
leaders have no hope of success, that
they are making their alleged fight
merely to maintain the organization
and that they will be satisfied with
having wrested control of the party
from Mr.. Bryan and his followers. As
the presidential campaign. they will
practically allow it to go by default.

HILLS PROPOSED RETIREMENT

David B. Hilrs announcement that
he will reture from politics soon after
the present campaign is closed will
probably be received with general in
-crcdulity. There can be no doubt, how
ever, that Hill's retirement is earn
estly desired by some of Judge Par
ker's strongest supporters, and that
feeling on the subject is most inten-
Sc in the State of New York.
On Sunday the New York World
which is unquestionably the chief news
paper advocate OF the Judge, devoted
its leading editorial to the "baneful
activity of Hill. 1t said that his
coarse denunciation of President
Roosevelt as "a fraud was a most in
auspicious opening of the state cam
paign"; that lin oposing the nomina-
tion of Judge Cullen for the vacancy
in the Court of Appeals caused by
Judge Parker's resignation Mr.. Hill
invites revival of the incidents OF
his attempt to alter the result of an
eS.etion through a theft of the re
turns. Judge Cullen, one of the ablest
men on the bench, decided against
this attempted steal and the people
approved his decision by defeating
Maynard, Hill's tool, as a candidate
for judge, by more than 100000 ma
jority." The World also describes a
sign of blind stupidity in the talk OF
nominating Stanchfield, the beaten
candidate of 1900. for governor and
declares that no man known as Hill's
hnCG'G
ious agent of the corporations, can be
elected governor this year Not even
Judge Parker could pull him through 3"
We print these extracts because
they will give the western reader a
pretty accurate idea of some of the
reasons why Hill is so unpopular in
his own state. And IL should be added
that while he has offended the ele-
ment in the Democracy that is rep
resented by The World he is hateful
at the same time to the Independent
voter and to Tammany. Though he
has had the power to control the
state machine, he provokes rebellion
within the ranks and repels the pos
sible recruits from without.
He is thus becoming a veritable
hoodoo TO his candidate. who must
find the situation extremely embaras-
sing. For it Will be remembered that
Hill ruled the Democratic state con
vention with rod II iron and jam,
med through the instructions for Par
q ker. In this way he established a
claim upon the gratitude of Parker
which it is difficult to ignore, and yet
he is in such bad odor that he seems
himself to feel the necessity of re
lieving Parker OF the burden of graft
tude. He will not, he says, accept any
position under the national or state
administration in the event of Dem
ocratic success this fall. and will not
again be n candidate for any office.
Taking 1t all in all, the situation
is very curious one. The union
against Hill has produced strange bed
fellows, and passing strange is the
self'immolation of Hill, who has
never been given to such sacrifices
