KNOWS the senate and Its traditions
and peculiarities Besides. as a can.
didate on the national ticket. his
friends declare he would inspire con.
iidence among the business men and
the conservative classes generally.
Senators who have talked with Mr..
Fairbanks as to the outlook and his
| personal relations to the future arc
convinced he will TO the last occupy
his present attitude, which is one OF
passive acceptance of whatever may
turn out to be the will OF the party.
So far as can be learned, the nom.
inaton Of Senator Fairbanks would be
wholly satisfactory TO President Roose.
welt. Mr.. Roosevelt adheres to his de.
| termination. expressed a long time

dency and to permit the party to do
just as 1t likes without any interfer.

| course In saying this the President Is
not to be understood ms meaning that
he abandons the right to veto any vice
presidential nomination which might
be considered distasteful to him or
harmful to the party. But the nom
nation OF Mr.. Fairbanks would be
eminently satisfactory to the Presl.
dent and his friends. If the Indiana
Republicans choose to accept the hlnt
from Washington and go ahead with
their movement in favor OF Mr.. Fair
banks the administration Is not likely
to be heard from in any word OF pro
test. The President and his friends
probably will not wish to make open
announcement that they approve of
the Fairbanks movement, as that
might be considered tantamount to in.
reference In the senator's favor This
President Roosevelt wishes to avoid At
all hazards, II is something of hob
by with him that the President who IL
to be nominated for n second term
ought not attempt to dictate to the
party whom 1t shall name for second
place on the ticket Probably Mr.
Roosevelt has n very lively remem-
brance Of those trying days at Phla-
delphia In 1900 when he first thought
Senator Hanna, as President McKln-
ley's representative, did not work hard
enough to keep the party from nomln-
ating himself for vice president, and
afterward thought Mr.. Hanna did al
together too much In that same direc.
ton One OF the most embarrassing
episodes OF Mr.. Roosevelts career
was that experience at Philadelphia
where he knew President Mckinley
did not want him on the ticket. but
was at length forced to withdraw his
objection in order to meet the wants
of the rank and file. Mr.. Roosevelt is
determined not to be caught in any
such predIcament. and his friends be
| lieve he will stick to II to the end.
