Practical Politics.
ALL THOUGHT OUT CAREFULLY
"Big Tim" Sullivan and Daniel j.
RiOFdaR Set Forth Superior Quail
for Prudential Nominee WIN Have
Conservative Mems Support.

Practical politics" was talked in Wash
iugton yesterday by a number of Demo
Gratis Of national prominence.
Some New Workers fell IN with a larger
number Of Southern Democrats and the
talk turned on 1903. big Tim" Sullivan
who had been al jamestown fraternizing
with the Eagles, declared that there was
little or no Bryan talk among the South
ern Democrats he me- there He de-
telares that the South at the proper time
would be behind Lieut. GOV. Lewis Stuy-
vesant Chanler for the Presidential nonI-
nation. sullivan conveyed large flock Of
Eagles TO New York to teach them new
flights and incidentally 70 acquGint those
OF the Democratic persuasion with the
popular qualities of his candidate. Chan
Ter.
Senator McCleary, Of Kentucky; Repre-
gentatives Broussard, Of Louisiana; John
Wesley Gaines. Of Tennessee. and Living
ston. Of Georgia, were among the Demo-
fcratic politicians from the South. with
whom 1Ir. Sullivan talked while here.
Out for missionary Work.
Another New Yorker who was IN the
city between trains on his way TO Hot
Springs. Va, was Representative Daniel
j. Riordan. Of the Eighth. While his
main purpose in going South is TO seek
health, he will do some missionary work
for Chanler for President Il opportunity
is afforded.
The country VIII be afame with the
Chanler business in a few weeks" said
Riordan. I regard his nomination and
election as an absolute certainty. You
look surprised, but just wait and see He
viii have the conservative business and
political thought OF the country behind
him when the time comes This is no
passing boom. II has been thought out
carefElIy. Some of the most thought
ful Democratic politicians of the country
believe Lieut.. Gov Chanler is the man
10 carry New York for the Democracy
and be elected
Must Have New Men,
There are many things about Gov.
ChanIer that recommend him to the party
leaders as a fitting candidate just now. II
We are 10 win We must have new men,
new issues, and new platform. Gen.
Ben Butler described our party by com
pairing IL 10 man riding backward in
a carriage who never saw anything until
he passed it. We want TO throw into
The political discard all our worm-eaten
theories that have carried us year after
year to defeat We want TO see a win
ming issue and get aboard. Chanler car
Tied New York for the Democratic ticket
for the first time in fifteen years.
HE is the only man I know who has
the ghost Of a chance to carry it in a ma
tiOnal campaign. What chance has the
party got TO win with New York State in
the Republican column. where it has been
ever since 1892 on national issues? Then.
If We want success. we must nominate
man who can carry New York State. Tn
less the managers are running the Demo
cratic party merely for exercise and per
sonal amusement. it would seem TO me
good policy 10 consider this one fact.
Depends Upon New York.
However strong a man may be in Mis-
souri,, we must never get away from the
pivotal point in national politics. viz:
How viii he run In New York; We
know how Chanler viii run, because we
tried him. Republican majorities Of zoo
050 TO 10000 tell their own story. Chanler
is as clean as President RooseveIts
hounds tooth.
II the party has got any sense It will
nominate him upon a platform cOmpassed
in about loco words. The campaign will
be brief Let the platform be brief also,
but let us mean what we say
