The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1907-12-26

A recent poll of New York Re-
pub!icans show that Gov. Hughes
is the strongest man in that state,
but it also shows that the Hughes
strength is largely made up of men
who are inimical to President
Roosevelt's policies or who are ac-
tuated by personal hatred for the
President. A remarkable showing
of strength on the part of Secretary
Cortelyou is also shown. The
friends of Mr.. Hughes are asking
whether the publication is going to
prove of value to Mr.. Hughes or
the reverse, while the Cortelyou
strength is largely discounted by
the fact that he is the bankers
candidate. The popularity of Lieu.
tenant Gov. Chanler is not likely
to be lost sight of and it is entirely
likely that the convention will con
clude to give him the second place
on the ticket. In view of the dis
organized condition of the New
York Republicans it is by no means
unlikely that Bryan and Chanler"
could carry the state.

The opinion is expressed on
many sides that the positive with
drawal of Mr. Roosevelt as a Re-
publican candidate will help the
Democratic party in the coming
campaign. The prominence of Mr..
Bryan continues. He stands i'll the
forefront of Democrats and his fol
lowers still exhibit the fervor of
enthusiasm that has marked their
conduct through two disasters, 1t
is useless to deny that there is
much opposition to Bryan and the
opinion is often heard that unless
the Democrats get together and set
tie their difference, the antagonism
to Bryan on the part of few lead
ers of the party will have its effect.
BY some of those who are convlnc-
ed that Mr.. Bryan is the choice of
the party as leader, former Gov.
Aycock of North Carolina, has been
suggested as his companion on the
Democratic ticket on the ground
that he would be satisfactory to a
majority of the people of the South
and would add strength to the tick
ct. Gov. Aycock, who is in Wash
ington, is an ardent supporter of
Bryan and believes that he will
have no opposition for the nomina-
ton.

WASHINGTON
From our Regular Correspondent.

ffOfn OuI NtEulhi S'''N'lOhhShA'
Washington, d. c., Dec. r9. 1907
The sensation of the week in
Washington has been the intima-
ton of President Roosevelt to his
Postmaster General that a more
personal supervision of federal APP
pointments under his department
is not only eminently desirable but
will be much appreciated by the
Chief Executive, followed Ivy the
public statement of the Secretary of
the Treasury in which he parades
his wounded feelings and assures a
long suffering public that his ef-
forts in his capacity as Secretary of
the Treasury and as Postmaster
General, have been wholly disin-
terested and cxcrtcd solely for the
welfare of the country. To make
such a statement was the perfectly
obvious thing for Mr.. Cortelyou to
do, and it is the general concensus
of opinion among politicians that
while he denies everything. he
leaves much open for inference and
his next move is waited with much
interest by men in both parties.
w4#
Signs are not lacking that the
Democrats in the House are much
encouraged by the political outlook
and it is expected that they will
make vigorous campaign this
winter to lay the financial difficult
ties i'll the country at the door of
the Republican party, where they
undoubtedly belong. And if the
Democratic Senators succeed III
their efforts, they will precipitate
Congressional investigation of the
recent financial stringency, in lieu
of the informed inquiry into the
subject now being prosecuted by
members of the Committee of FL
nance, the suggestion of the willy
Chairman. Aldrich, at the first
meeting of the committee this sea-
son. A resolution has already been
submitted i'll the Senate providing
for such an official investigation,
and asking for its immediate con-
sideration. The expectation is that
ali aggressive fight will be made,
also, against the present tariff by
the minority in the House and John
Sharp Williams has already intro
duced a number of resolutions to
amend the Dingley tariff on specific
articles

There is no intention that the

Gently in Washington. Shall be al
lowed to lapse, so far at least as
the officers of that Congress are
concerned, as they have planned a
campaign of education, according
to President Rausdell, which will
be prosecuted i'll every State that
has all interest in improved water
ways. The plan is to raise a fund
of 81 900 in each State that will be
concerned to pay the expenses of
speakers who will explain, with il
lustrated lectures and otherwise,
the benefits to be had from an inn
provement of water transportation,

When you get married, have 1t done

your life. Your funeral may be an i'm

second fiddle at your wedding. but it's
your show nevertheless, and you should
make il as impressive as you can.

expenditure Gorgeous decorations and
all that SOFT of thing detract from the
true feature of the occasion. That,
however. is none of your affair. The
