WHICH WILL MAKE
 STRONGEST IMPRESSION?

It is now just about seventy-ive days until the voters of the country will walk up to the polls and exercise one of the greatest privileges vouchsafed to a citizen of the United States, name ly, that of exercising his right of sui frage, and speaking as a sovereign with his vote, and depositing in the bal lot box his choice for one person to serve the United States as President for the four years commencing March i. 1905.
 Notwithstanding the flap-doodle, grapevine telegraph items promulgat- ed from the boom factory of the Re publican literature manufacturers. of gentlemen living at crossroads who have Topped from one party to the oth- CT, and whose names never break into print save at the time of quadrennial election, and are again to be noted in the column marked floppers. it is quite too early to mark the decisive lines which give an insight truly into the real conditions existing throughout the several states.
 Nevertheless, daily grows stronger and stronger the sentiments of the communities, forming one side or the other, and which will finally congeal into the ixed determination of the vot- CTS, and which in about two months and half will have been finally spoken at the polls. It is conceded at this mo- ment among the more conservative Re publicans, that the thought of the peo; pie has not yet been sufficiently crys- tallized to give a conclusion as to the forecast dependable to those closely interested in public affairs. That this of itself is a most submissive confes- sion, from sources that were loudly favorable 10 the Roughrider president now occupying the presidential office must be conceded. The Republicans, even the most virulent of the banner carriers for the g. o. D., speak with much more caution since the nomina- tion of Judge Parker, and particularly since the speech made by that gentle man at the time of his nomination, and whose words at that moment have been so strongly and ably seconded by that splendid character who accom- panies his name on the national ticket
 l. is al this time, however, that pub lie opinion is being molded and enter ing the stage where it is ready to re- oeive and accept such evidences of the personal fitness of each of the stand ard bearers as will enable them to se- lect the man who in their judgment will best serve the country's interests They are silently making up their minds as to which side of the political fence they will enroll themselves this year. The silent vote in 1904 will be a mighty force in the election now but a short time in the future.
 The present occupant of the White House has been tried for over three years in the balance of public opinion. The people have had an opportunity to judge clearly of Theodore Rooseyelt's public character. They have witness ed his acts upon weighty questions, and surely it may not be necessary to point out the reckless daring of the man, has not once. but repeatedly. D. cd Congress in the face, the only representative body of the people, thrown the constitution to the winds, and usuTped the lawmaking power of the nation, by executive order, and made unto himself laws which have never been enacted.
 However desirable the Panama Ca nal to the American nation, the manner of securing it by the methods employ ed by Roosevelt were those of the bull ly. augmented by superior power, and without excuse.
 Impetuous, impulsive and imprudent naturally, he Is generally regarded as what is known as an unsafe man" continuation of his power in office would make the nation awake morn. ings with fear and trembling for what MT. Roosevelt might do over night, as 1t were. Lack of the calm, deliberate judgment so essential in so high an office, accompanied with so much pow CT. and which, by the way, was so man.
