keenest observation. il is of course APP
parent that an interest concerning The
nomination for chief place ON the ticket
has become almost qulcscent ON ac-
count Of the certainty which attends
the candidacy Of President Roosevelt
This foregone conclusion robs the po-
litical game OF much of It's fascinating
indennitcness but 1t may have The eff
feet Of giving the vice presidential
nomination an unusual prominence
The choosing of q candidate for Sec
ond place has almost always been reck-
oned as perfunctory matter. There Is
more than one instance on record, how
ever in which the business has been
conducted with considerable animation.
Such an exception was furnished by
the Republican convention OF 1868. Tho

cidcnce the nomination Of General
Grant was as predetermined az ~ that
Of President Roosevelt. lie was chosen
unanimously ON the FIRST ballot Then
the nctual struggle began. -Four can
didates FOR the vice presidency were
proposed, They were Beniamin F.
Wade of Ohio Henry Wilson Of Massa-
chusetts, Schuyler CofaX of Indiana
and Reuben Il. Fcntop OF New York.
All at once the office Of vice president
was transformed into the very ultima
Thule Of political aspiration. There
was poured out I'm that convention hall

ity that was fairly bcwlldcriug. Five
ballots failed 10 do more than bring

There is an impression eXtpnt that
The choice OF a vice presidential candi-
date is, az rule, left largely TO the
nominee for first place and his friends.
II is Of course reasonable to suppose
that an individual who is personally
obnoXious TO the chief candidate can-
not ada strength TO the ticket. SIN It
HAPPENS frequently that the vice presi-
dentia' nominee Is not precisely at one
with his mate IN some Of the lesser po-
litical dogmas Instead Of being "a mis-
fortune. this variation is often a posi-
tive benefit TO the party because II

For this reason, too, the candidates are

WILL CALL AN EXTRA
SESSION OF CONGRESS
President Understood TO Have So De-
cided-WiII Consider Subject From
All Points Of View.

President Roosevelt will undoubtedly
call an extra session or Congress to con-
slider tariff revision.
This Is what men close TO the Presi-
dent say has been definitely decided up
on. The President thus far, however,
has outlined no scheme for q revision
OF the tariff on radical lines
He is firmly convinced that the need
for a reduction OF the schedules IS OF
prime Importance 10 a large section OF
the country and the future welfare of
the whole. but ne intends 10 proceed
with the greatest elaboration in the
matter OF revising these schedules and
only a moderate change VIII be pro
posed.
The President, ii may be stated. has
recently had men in consultation with
him whose Views on free trade are very
pronounced. That the visit OF John
Morley the famous English free trader.
at the White House was due In part TO
the Presidents plan OF sitting all sides
of the tariff question. is little doubted.
Yesterday ne had Eugene n. Foss. the
president of the New England Reciproe-
ity League with him. Today Governor
Cummins. the Iowa tariff reformer, IS
expected. and the President may ask for
some OF his ideas also.
1t may be borne IN mind that along
with these the President IS not neglect
ing the Views OF the high tariff men
in the party. and OF these there are
many. Therefore. whatever decision he
may reach with regard 10 tariff revis-
Ion, and whatever measures he may adj
VOcate, viii be made only after a thor
Ough and careful Investigation OF the
subject from all sides.
