and the democratic party, for once,

to present united front, with no
north, no south, no east, no west, for
the first time since the civil war.
Congress Important.
The situation here outlined briefly
bears directly upon the present ses-
sion Of congress. A new house of rep
resentatives will be elected in Novem-
Der, and state LEGISLATURES which Sc
lect the successors to one-third Of the
total membership of the United States
senate With Roosevelt, the radical,
still the party leader, the republican
forces in the campaign of this year
must be radical also. They will ap
plaud him to the skies, together with
all of his policies. And if there should
be railroad rate legislation such as he
can indorse, the next house of repre-
sentatives may be republican, but by
smaller margin than at present, and
the elections in the various legisla-
lures may not show any material re-
duction of republican strength in the
senate.
If the republicans determine to be
conservative in 1908, just how will
they manage in two years time to
make the change? This is another
important question, the answer to
which is already worrying the party
leaders not a little.
Altogether, to sum up, the republic
can party is at sea, tossed here and
there by wind and wave of doubt and
fear. By and by it will lose it's strong
man at the helm, the man who has
been it's life and it's inspiration since
the death of President Mckinley.
For republicans, the one encourage
ing sign, after admitting the truth of
all that is here outlined, is the fact
that two years yet remain in which to
work for change Of conditions.
Meanwhile the democrats are already
more hopeful than they have been at
any time since 1892, and their conf
dence will spread like a contagion
throughout the party as whole should

anarchist plot to kill the king on the
occasion of the Inauguration, the king

taken to prevent any demonstration or
attack by anarchist fanatics, and the
king was at all times surrounded by
guards. A large crowd, mostly con-

opening ceremonies. The exposition is
not yet quite completed, but promises
to be ready for the public opening in
few weeks.

To Head The National Democratic
Ticket in 1908.
WILL Be ON PUBLIC OWNERSHIP PLANK
COMBINATION is STRONG AND
CALLS FOR ABLE OPPosI-
TON FROM G. O..

Not for many years, or since the old
days when John Sherman was a figure
in national affairs, has the situation
in the republican party. as to who
is likely to belts presidential nominee
next time been as obscure as it is at
the present moment. AS a rule, this
condition of uncertainty has been con-
years 1902, when it nominated Cleve-
land. and 1900, when it re-nominated
Bryan, have been almost the only re-
cent noteworthy exceptions to this
rule. The democrats usually have
fought over the question of nominee
right up to the meeting of the con-
vention. The republicans. on the other
hand, have had a habit of trying to
get together in advance of the con-
vention and agreeing upon candidates,
is the report that comes. from Wash
ington.
From this outlook upon 1908, two
years in advance. the rule seems to be
reversing itself The uncertainty-and
it is uncertainty OFF, very pronounced

party, while the democratic party
seems reasonably sure at this early
day regarding what it will do

be confined to those states of the north
and east, for the most part, in which
there are large cities, and here pub
lie ownership has received encourage
ment.
Mr.. Bryan, on the other hand, will
have the support of the old south,
which, while never in these days asking
for the nomination of one of its own
men for the presidency, invariably de-
cides, in convention, between the vari-
Gus candidates presented from the
north. The south admires and respects
and has confidence in Bryan.
Dunno for Vice. President.
The democratic platform will discuss
the tariff, but, except in particular To-
ABILITIES. notably portions of the south,
the tariff will not be the leading demo-
cratic issue. Public ownership will be
paramount as silver was in 1896 and
again in 1900, and Mr.. Bryan will be
it's high priest and prophet. His tour
around the world, made especially for
the study of public ownership, will
equip him for the fray. and when the
time comes for action, he will be
found to be better prepared for the
discussion of that issue than any other
man in his party.
1t is believed in Washington that
the second place on the democratic
ticket will be given to some demo-
crat from one of the large cities, per-
haps New York of Chicago, who has
thoroughly identified himself with the
public ownership issue. Under con-
ditions that may easily prevail, Mayor
Edward F. Dunno, of Chicago, may be
selected. In this way the ticket, from
the viewpoint of practical politics,
would be we'll balanced, Mr.. Bryan
representing the rural and Western
vote, and the vice presidential nOmi-
nee the urban and middle west, and
the eastern vote.
1t will be a strong combination, and
the republicans will have to bestir
themselves if they are to overcome
it-a fact which is already conceded
by party leaders.
Republicans lnharmonious.
AS offsetting this condition of agree
| ment rapidly approaching close har-
mony which exists in the democratic
party, there is a condition of disa-
greement approaching disorganization
| in the republican party. Rarely in its
| history has the republican national
organization been so completely out of
alignment as it is at this present mo-
ment. Essentially conservative

which have been in times past its
chief support-it is being led, and

very unwillingly 80 far as certain
elements in it are concerned, by the
most radical president the country
has had within the memory Of any
person now living-a president who
will not accept another nomination,
which he could have for the mere
asking, and who, in the nature of
things, cannot leave any successor of
his own type and style.
The natural trend of the party,
which has become abnormally radical
under the stress of necessity, will be
back toward conservatism when
Roosevelt is no longer in evidence.
This fact explains the candidacy at
this time for the presidential nomi-
Shaw and Root. and some other men
of the conservative school who are
D6l0S InenllOIou.
Ought the party to nominate con-
servative, or would it be better for it
to make a search for a radical? This
is the question the answer to which
will settle the fate of the party in the
next campaign. At present the party
leaders, aside from Roosevelt who
may not count heavily so far as the
1908 nomination is concerned, are all
conservatives. Their encouragement
set Fairbanks and Shaw to work
more than a year ago seeking the
nomination.
Must Look Into Future.
1t may be that the democratic pro-
gram in 1908 will be so radical as to
demand conservatism at the hands Of
the republicans. Time only will deter
mine this. But in the meantime, the
republicans would give good deal If
they could look into the future far
enough to know what they really ought
to do.
The party lines are broken now as
never before. There is no leader in
sight who can hope to fill the vacancy
which will be caused by the with
drawal of Roosevelt The party is d.
vided into contending factions-the
middle and far west, speaking broadly.
favoring Roosevelt radicalism, the east
favoring a return to Mckinley con-
servatism. The conservatives, who.
perhaps. have the strength to control
the national convention, are uncertain
whether it would be wise to assert
that strength. They don't know what
to put into their platform. That docu-
ment ought to contain a rousing in
dorsement of Rooseveltism, and yet
that ism hasn't a single thing in COM
mon with the conservative classes
In short the republican party Is as
badly split up at this moment as the
