INTERVIEWED

do not think he ca:es TO have an
other presidential nomination, ?"
said Chairman Harvey CARRIER
yesterday.
''Ile received about 500, 900 for
his newspaper letters from Europe,
and believe he Is to REISSUE them
in book form. His lectures, the
sales of MS book and The Com
moner make mp an income larger
than any president derived from
the government.
81 cannot speak for Mr. Bryan,
but during his trip over the state
in the campaign, | received the
impression that he was not seek
ing third nomination and did
not really care TO have it, He did
not appear to be looking forward
to receiving it. He seemed salts.
fed with having made two great
campaigns and evidently was
pleased with the way in which the
people are coming around to his
position on public questions. He
could see that part of the people
whose opinions control public sem
timent was in line with him and
in favor of many of the measures
be thought that he should lead
another campaign for.
Chairman CARRIER, who has just
returned from trip to Mexico,
left last night for Washington,
accompanied by his secretary,
Christopher Markey. Mrs, Gar
ber will not go to the capital until
after the holidays.
The state chairman spent yes
terdny with Secretary Finley and
Treasurer Heer, closing up the
financial end of the Democratic
state campaign, which he said cost
only $4,000, just trihe more than
the Prohibitionlsts reported.
The lone Democratic congress
man from Ohio still expects to
support President Roosevelt's poll
cies, but draws the line on the
ship subsidy.
"No, l hardly could do that,
was his answer when asked if he
would vote for the ship subsidy
bill. 81 do not believe the presi-
dent will recommend that in his
message. intend, however, to
support the president as far as
can. He is for large navy, ]
know. The Ohio river improve
ment? Oh, presume he will be
for that. | shall be. 1t will be a
means of regulating freight rates y
While in Mexico the Fourth dis
trict congressman inspected coal
lands. "All the coal used IN
Mexico" he said, "is hauled from
Alabama and costs $lS ton Mex
lean, or so gold. In Northern
Alexico there are outcroppings of
coal which look promising. 1t is
soft on the surface, but is hard
under the surface.
Congressman CARRIER will not be
the only Ohio congr&ssman VIII"
will oppose the passage by the
house of the ship subsidy bill,
which went over from the senate
last summer. Congressman Theo-
dore f. Burton is quoted in Wash
ington dispatches as having said;
81 am opposed to the bill, as l
always have been, and will oppose
it as vigorously as ! cam"
This is the opening gun in the
fight for funds which is to be
waeed in congress this winter be-
tween the advocates of a big navy
and ship subsidy on the one hand
and the advocates of internal i'm
proyemehts, especially of rivers
and harbors.
AS chairman of the rivers and
hsrbors com mmittee, Burton wants
$50, 900, 900 for the river and har-
bor appropriations, and If he gets
it, there won't be enough left for
all the Dattlsships the navy de-
partment wants, and also for sub
sides to builders of American
owned merchant steamers.
Congressman and Mrs. Taylor
left last night for Washington, to
be gone until March.
Chief Clerk II. w. Doty, who is
attending the whist congress, said
