The National tribune., 1907-02-07
CANNON AND ROOT.
Continued from page one.)

Washington, is likely to be an impor-
tant factor with the next National Con-
vention. The conviction is constantly
growing that any Republican candidate
who cannot convince the country of his
readiness anj his ability to continue
Mr.. Roosevelts policies will have hard
shedding at the polls. These conclu-
sions by numerous politicians are based
on the conviction that the Democrats
are going to nominate Bryan, and that
Bryan is still much stronger with the
ma sses than is generally conceded.
Some say that the developments in the
railroad situation and President RoOse-
velt's agitation for more restrictive leg
islation are likely to play into Bryan's
hands between now and the next cam
paign. Senator-elect Norris Brown, Re-
publican, of Nebraska, and an admirer
Of Bryan, said during a recent visit to
Washington that Bryan was stronger in
that State than ever before.
Demands for the nomination of Sec
retary Root, notwithstanding his asso-
Citations as attorney for big and rich
corporations, are heard from numerous
quarters, and, strange as it may seem,
some of the Secretary's stanch friends
are from the far West Senator elect
Jonathan Bourne, of Oregon, thinks
very highly of Mr. Root, and believes
that he will be much better appreciated
by the country before the convention
meets. If he cannot be nominated his
friends would rally to him as running
mate with Cannon, in the belief that
his presence on the ticket would check,
to some degree, Democratic criticiZm
of the Speaker as too old a man to
place in the White House. Mr. Root
would assure the support of the sub
stantial business world east of the AL
leghenies to the Republican ticket, and,
