DRIFT TOWARDS ROOSEVELT

DRIFT TOWARDS ROOSEVELT.
A somewhat remarkable condition
OF affairs is developing in the Repub-
lican party and one which may ana
viii in all probability lead to the re-
nomination OF Mr.. Roosevelt as that
party's presidential candidate. In
spite Of his unpopularity among a
large number OF the Republican lead
ers and Congressman, these same
men for their political salvation are
compelled to go on the stump and
sound paeans of praise for the presl-
dent. In other words the Republican
party and its candidates are using
the presidents name as a tallsman
to conjure the voters into supporting
themselves and at the same time the
tide is surely turning towards him as
the most available man for 1908.
This seems a strange condition III
view of the fact that among the Re
publican big guns now are such men
as TAFT, Root and Shaw, each one
possessing just as much, if not lit
more, sense than Mr.. Roosevelt, and
each one equally well fitted for the
Office now filed by the latter. But
the country is in that condition now
where some man must go before the
people who has the power to attract
them not by his intellect and ability
alone, but by some dominant per
sonality. This Mr.. Roosevelt pos
eesses to an extent not reached by
any other man in either party with
the lone exception OF Mr.. Bryan.
Thus with this condition existing the
fates point to a conflict between
Theodore Roosevelt and VIM. Jen-
nings Bryan. 1t is almost sure to
come and when it does it will be
something more than a contest be

Washington. oct 29.-Grcat interest
is being manifested here in President
ROOSevelt's decision to send Secretary
Mctcalf Of the department Of com

make thorough inquiry into the situa-
ton affecting the exclusion of Japa-
ncsc children from the schools provid-
cd for white children and the deter
mlnation tC place Japanese pupils in

The president Is anxious TO obtain ut
first hand from a cabinet officer who is
acquainted with local conditions in san
Francisco full information on every
phase Of the subject. to the end that
whatever action is taken by the gov
eminent may be after an accurate un-
Outstanding of the situation.
Mr.. Roosevelt feels that every effort
within the power Of the administration
should be eXerted TO see that all the
treaty rights claimed by the japanese
government for its people residing In
the United States should be respected
and protected.
The determination to send Secretary
Metcalf to san Francisco was one Of
the results Of the request made by
Viscount Aoki. the Japanese ambassa-
dor. who at n conference with Secre-
tary Root on Thursday asked on behalf
Of his government that the. Japanese
subjects in California obtain their full
rights under the treaty Of 1901, !nclud-
ing the right Of the children to attend
