Bisbee daily review., 1906-08-12

O--~ to such am campaign as that-Mr. Bryan was even more disastrously beaten in 1900 than he had been in 1S96-got fewer votes, while his com petitor got more than four years be- fore.
 About this time another character loomed up, a man of intense person ality, and, like Jackson, he succeeded | in making devoted friends and impla- cable enemies. Prophet or devil is he. for he is nothing between the two. | Either he is the greatest statesman of his epoch or the rankest charlatan. ] His friends believe he is one, his enemies denounce him as the other. Never in our political history has there been career so brilliant and so powerful. He has done things with rublic applause that would have con yicted Andrew Jackson of high crimes and misdemeanors. He has cracked his whip over Congress as none of his predecessors ever dared do before, and Congress has meekly cow cred to his lash. Daily the Republi- caa cloak rooms of the two Houses have listened to the boasts of the | leaders that they would bell the cat, ,'' and then submissively they voted for his policies from their seats on the floor. Competition shrinks before him. He is greater than the Pyre- nees and the Alps. Has he reached his zenith? Who can say?
 And that is what the political world wants to know, and intendes to know has Theodore Roosevelt gone as far as he can go? Will his popularity wither? Can he dance the tight rope forever? There is no political issue. | There is nothing anti-Roosevelt in the Republican party. and nothing anti Bryan in the Democratic party. When MT. Bryan left for foreign parts he commended MT. Roosevelt to his Dem. ocratic following in Congress, and the Democrats took MT. Bryan at his word and helped to make Roosevelt's chase of the octopus fortunate and trium. phant.
 When the rate bill came out of the Senate Committee on Interstate Com, mere the East was farther from the West than Aldrich's idea was from Delivers on that question, yet these two got together as did Knox and Ciapp, Lodge and Cullom, Spooner and Long-eyerybody but Foraker and the two venerable and Democratic Sena. tors from Alabama. No Caesar ever had more captives in his train than has Theodore Roosevelt, one of the ablest, and altogether most fortunate of American politicians.
 Everybody is thinking about a third term for this man. The Re, publican party has a search warrant out for a Republican to beat William Jennings Bryan. Ask the first dozen Republicans you meet in the street how to beat Bryan in 1908, and at least five or six of them will answer Roosevelt" That is the situation in | 1906, and it will be even more pro nouncedly so in 1908 if the unexpected gress should have a Democratic ma jority.
 Not even did Jackson and Clay SC overshadow the men of their times to tie extent that Roosevelt and Bryan overshadow the men of ours. The only third man in the calculation. is William R. Hearst, and that is be, cause he is a little red-hotter than either Bryan or Roosevelt, and the socialistic dogma more aggressive llAclL "ALV Pl AL1SIpISS VI Ol llit old parties. MT. Bryan asserts that his mission is to promote radicalism MT. Roosevelt says his endeavors have been to curb socialism. MT Bryan is where he is because he thinks the tendency is towards con, servatism, if the spur is not applied i; MT. Roosevelt is where he is because he thinks the country is rushing into socialism, if the curb be not applied Mir. Bryan spurns conservatism; Mir Roosevelt curbs socialism, and thus the two are exactly in accord touching octopus-chasing and trust-busting. and all the lawyers in Philadelphia cannot decide whether Bryan is more Roose- veltish, or Roosevelt more Bryanic. If these two men, Bryan and Roose- welt, shall be pitted against each other in 1908, we will see some lively poli- tics, making tame even the campaign of 1896. And stranger things than that have happened in this country. l
