ington had 10 prejudice whatever
against q third term. He was an old
man. God knows he had had enough #

third term had been pressed upon him
he would have accepted. Theodore
Roosevelt has made preceients, several
Of them and big ones. He viii not make
aprecedent by refusing the Presidential
nomination if it is offered to him. If
Bryan is nominated by the Democrats,
it will be offered to him. Make no mis-
take about this.

Hearst is going to run for Cover nor of
New York as the Democratic candi-

he is going to run. There is little, if

TIME TO GETIN LINE.

The disappointment Of consel yative
Democrats over the radical utterances
of Mr.. Bryan in his speech at Madison
Square Garden, New York, on the &C
casion Of his unprecedented welcome
home is plainly evident. During Mr..
Bryan'S tour around the world a great
enthusiasm for him sprang up, and it
was freely predicted that when he came
home it would be found that foreign
travel had so broadened him that he
would announce his recantation of his
free silver doctrine and would give out
such statement of his views that the
gold bugs" of the East would be will
ing to accept him as more conservative
than President Roosevelt. The reality
was sad awakening for those Demo-
Gratis who dislike to be always on the
losing side, for when they heard or read
Mr.. Bryan's announcement of his views
they realized that he spoke truly when,
in recent interview he said that he
was more radical than ever" 1t is ap-
parent that should he be nominated by
the Democrats the experience of 1896
and 1900 will be repeated And the Dem
ocrats will doubtless nominate him, as
the West gave up to the East at the St.
Louis convention two years ago with
disastrous results and will probably be
unwilling to do so again.
1t is not at all apparent at this time
who the Republican nominee for the
Presidency in 1903 will be, but he will
undoubtedly be man Of conservative
ideas, safe and sane" and one who
will appeal to the voters Of the country
as being likely to favor by his views
and acts a continuance of the policy
which, aided by fortunate natural con-
dltlons, has brought about in this coUr-
try condition of general prosperity
such as was never known before, boz
for duration and for volume. Such a
man will carry more than two-thirds of
the electoral college, and upon the is
sues presented the Republican majority
in Congress will be in about the same
ratio. With such prospect in view,
Maryland ought to get in the line of
progress and send to the House of Rep
resentatives six men who can exercise
some influence in Legislation and will
not be content to be merely obstruction
lists of the policy which is rapidly max
ing this the richest and prosperous ma
ton in the world, if, indeed, that con-
dition has not already been reached.
And now is good time to begin.
