Has Fault of Bird That Has
Habit Of Talking Too
Much.
APOSTLE HAS CHAMPI0NED
REPEAL ANTI-CANTEEN LAW
notwithstanding Says Act Is
Unwise, and Its Repeal
Would DO Good.
Snecisl 10 The Tribune.


WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 23.-
During the last session of Congress
Senator Sutherland of Utah remarked
TO a friend here that Apostle "Smoot
had parrot fault In other words,
that the representative of the hierarchy
IN the United States Senate was gifted
with too prolific tongue; that is, that
he talked too much. Perhaps the Sena-
tors remark was true, for this morning
the Post prints the following interview
alleged to have been given by Senator
SmQot to that paper g representative
on his trip west to the Irrigation con
gress:
There is no one better equipped
than myself to foster the canteen bill, -
said Senator smoot, laughing,
II have no doubt that each and
every Senator and Representative be-
lieves with the army officers that the
anti-canteen law is unwise, yet they are
afraid to sanction its repeal on account
Of public sentiment.
I'm my position, L am sorry TO say,
I'm afraid ] have little reputation to
lose among the women of the country,
so it's up to me to champion what I
think would be a good law
The interview created much unfavor-
able comment here. There is a robust
lobby at work here, backed by brewery
money, trying to restore the cauteen.
A press agent has been employed, who
is sending out prepared interviews with
Grand Army officers and others favor
abJe 10 the restoration Of the canteen.
The brewery canteen lobby is the most
active in Washington Just now.

SOME NEW LIGHT ON
PRESIDENTIAL BOOMS
Story From Man High in Repub-

ing Reading.
Special TO The Tribune.

Special TO The Tribune
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 23.-
The revival of the talk that President
Roosevelt will be renominated in zoos
gives significance to an incident which
is alleged to have occurred at OYSTER
Bay recently. The facts are given on
the authority Of man hign up in OIL
clal life, whose word is such that The
accuracy of the story can hardly be
questioned.
Early In September John 4. Sleicher
editor of Leslie s Weekly, and a stanch
Republican, called on the President. In
the course of the conversation, so the
story goes, tho President sought to
impress upon Mr.. Sleicher the avail
ability, OF Secretary Taft as a Presi-
to advocate Taft's nomination and
cease booming the President himself.
Editor Sleicher expressed great sd-
mlratlon for Secretary Taft, but gave
the OPINION that he could not be nomi-
mated because Senators Foraker and
Dick had too firm hold upon the
organization III the Buckeye State, and
they would never yield to Taft. Mr..
Sleicher is alleged to have expressed
tary Taft could not hope to be nomi-
mated with his own State delegation
opposing him. The President seemed
very hopeful, but in the course of the
conversation is alleged TO havo sud
denly inquired of his visitor whether
the latter thought the country would
insist on tho President IS denomination
Mr.. Sleicher is alleged to have re-
piled to the President that the Re
r,iiAl lt.sy L.
nominate Theodore Roosevelt, but in
sist on his acceptance, and that under
the circumstances the President could
not decline
On the heels of the Oyster Bay inter
view comes the following editorial in
the current issue Of Leslie s Weekly,
which it is fair TO assume was written
by Mr.. Sleicher:
Glow Secretary Taft can expect TO
be named IL the National convention,
without the backing of his own dele
cation from Ohio, is not clear. At
present he has not that backing, as
Senators Foraker and Dick absolutely
dominate the situation They would
hardly be for Taft, in view of his open
" antagcnistic attitude toward the
State machine IN the gubernatorial can
vass in Ohio last fall. OF course many
things may happen before the nominal
ing convention in June, 1905; but that
is not so far off. Two years is not
long time in politics. TAFT has many
elements Of strength, has pleasant
personality. q 6ne judicial tempera-
