he learned was that a greater or less

Question Of Choosing Running Mate
For Bryan Interests Whole South

Raymond" the Washington cor
respondent of the Chicago Tribune,
writes his paper as follows:
Back in the incipient scramble for
the position of minority leader of the
House of Representatives, there is a
good deal f joking going on for
second place on the Democratic ma
tional ticket next year.
There seems to be a feeling on the
part of the southern Democrats that
the time is about come when they
might break the ice and put south
ern man on for second place. AS most
people in the north know, they might
nave done this long ago. because sec
tionalism in the Republican states has
been dead for many a year. 1t would
be hard to raise an Issue against a
candidate even for the presidency that
he happened to have his voting place
south of the Mason and Dixon line.
The issues of the war are buried a
great deal deeper in the north than
they are in the south.
Southern politicians have never
been able to understand this compile
tely. and nave been afraid that the
presence of southern name on the
national ticket would doom it to de-
feat. Lately, however, they are be-
ginning to understand that if a high
grade southern man should be nomi-
mated for the vice-presidency his res

mated but surely no one in the north.
ern states would seriously object from
the sectional point of view to any
one of half a dozen of the younger
southern Democrats who belong to a
generation since the war and whose
waving of a bloody shirt would be
sentimental entirely. They still talk
Of the war more or less in the south
ern states, whereas the correspond
ing generation in the north seldom
or never speaks of it, and then with
out trace of bitterness.
Under the circumstances a south
ern man for vice president on the
Democratic ticket would not materi-
ally reduce the strength of that party
in the north and the southern lead
ers are at last beginning to realize
this fact. OF course, I, would not do
to pick up a firebrand like Tillman
or discredited politician like Bailey.
Either one of them would be subject
to attack on legitimate political
grounds without any regard to the
fact that they might happen to repre-
sent certain extreme and antiquat-
ed southern sentiment of the swash-
buckling type.
Bryan Would Have Some Chance.
But almost any one of the higher
grade of southern statesmen Of the
younger generation stands a good
chance of being put on the Democrat
ic ticket, and his being there would
not in any great degree lessen the
chances of success Of William Jen-
nings Bryan, whose nomination for
the presidency next year by the DEM
ocrats is practically assured.
1t is remarkable that the Democra-
cy has developed no good leaders in
the northwest. There we're a great
many people who believed that a
strong combination might be made by
selecting William Randolph Hearst
as the running mate for William Jen-
nings Bryan, but the events in New
York last fall seem to have put an
end to that plan. Mr.. Hearst not on
ly failed to carry mis- own state but
he was the only man on his ticket who
was defeated, and this is recognized
by politicians the world over as an
inevitable. indication of personal po-
litical weakness.
As usual, New York is more or less
of a pivotal state. The solid south
needs New York to make an approach
to majority of the ELECTORAL col
lege. Mcclellan has been practically
eliminated as a political quantity by a
bitter fight on Tammany nall. Hearst
Is out of the running, partially for the
same reason but practically because
he ran behind his ticket last Novem-
Der and would not likely to do any
better next year.

the text OF an interesting and practi
cal talk on the religious awakening
OF China by the Rev. ]. T. Stuart. al
the First Presbyterian church yester-
day morning. DR.. Stuart, who has
been missionary in China since
1865. saw the first Presbyterian con-
verts baptized and has seen that de-
nomination grow to membership of
$500 natives, and the Christian
population of China to over 100 900
since then.
Japen is rapidly coming under the
western influence. said DR.. Stuart.
Modern methods and modern conven-
fences are everywhere apparent in her
cities. Korea, the Hermit Empire, -
also Is awakening, and China, too,
but more slowly. The Chinese are
most conservative.
Oriental influence was always
against the admittance of Christian
ity. The educated class forms a
nobility. The Christianization of the
masses meant the dissemination Of
learning and the reduction of the
scholars in Importance.
The great rebellion, which result
ed in the death of millions of natives.
gave the missionaries an opportunity
to enter all provinces of China. They
sent ahead Christian natives who
rented the houses, as the landlords
would not rent to white missionaries.
Now, while every city is not occupied,
every province has from one to
score missionaries.
The viceroy Of human has issued
an edict that the Bible Thall be taught
In the schools.
The Boxer rebellion brought mar
tyrdom to $1,000 Christian natives,
but "their blood is the seed of the
church." for the years intervening
since have seen their places filled by
$4,000 converts. The Boxer rebel
lion was occasioned by secret edict
England, Germany. France. Russia
and Japan seized Chinese seaports on
one pretext or another. Italy de-
manded one. The court foresaw the
occupation of the entire sea coast by
foreign powers and ordered that all
Foreigners should be killed and the
doors closed on all others. The Boxer
rebellion ended ANONYMOUSLY and
now the empress dowager and the
viceroys welcome the missionaries.
Higher education and athletics in
the schools for boys and girls are
taking the place of the old primary
schools. The Japanese influence pre-
dominates. There are more Chinese
boys and girls in the university ct
Toxic than Japs.
DR.. Stuart said the prospects for
securing a million converts in the
next few years are bright Just one
hundred years ago next spring the
first missionary went to China. and
500 missionaries will meet in conven-
ton at Shanghai to celebrate the oc-
casion and plan a campaign.

add to the strength of the Democrats
in the remotes degree. District At
torney Moran of Boston, was badly
beaten in his race for governor. Olney
never was a national quantity. Cas-
ton, of Massachusetts, comes nearer
to the necessary qualifications than
anybody in New England. Henry
Gassaway Davis is still alive and he
will be scarcely any older in 1908
than he was three years ago, but
West Virginia did not behave we'll in
the election from a Democratic point
of view, and there is not much of a
disposition to select another candi-
date from that state.
In the. west, geographical con-
siderations are more than likely to
prevail, as the southern men see it.
II Bryan is chosen from Nebraska, he
would naturally represent the whole
of the central valley states, and the
tendency would be to get candidate
as far away as possible. Ohio
is something of a doubtful state these
days, and Tom Johnson is still a
power there in his way. Moreover
he is in good and regular standing
with the Bryan elements, he has come
money, and at times he Is willing
"to unbelt" when it will further his
own political fortunes.
Southern men, however, are inclin-
ed to think that so long as there is
no available candidate from New York
they might as well have one of their
own number on the ticket, just to test
the temper of the people of the Re
publican states, if for no other reas-
on. Their are good many men in
the south who measure up well to
the standard of national politics.
1t even seems possible that the old
days of southern craftsmanship are
returning, because many of the strong
Democratic states are retaining their
members of the House. and Senate

ticket from merely geographical con

The point the southern people are
making is a good one. They insist

party must necessarily look to them

Moreover. they have an excellent lot
of public men nowadays and from that

Mississippi in the House, whose nom

there might easily be an honorable
competition among the younger Dem
ocrats of the South to secure a NOM

ct. If b. chance they should be sue
.cessful and Mr., Bryan should prove
to be an average president, they
would then nave chance in their
own person to realize the dream of
their own community by seeing a
Southern man once more the Presi-
dent. Worse things might happen
to the country than this, as every
body knows. 81. ..,....
Conservatism the South's Creed.
There is a distinct difference of
opinion, however. between Mr.. Bryan
and the Southern Democrats are to-
day essentially conservative. The ma
jority of them have forgotten theh
old free trade training and are turn
ing more and more to The protection
idea. Even free silver, if presented
as an original proposition, would not
now receive respectful attention. The
radicalism of Hearst, tne municipal
ownership ideas of Dunno, and above
all the government ownership declar-
alton of Bryan, are by no means sat
isfactory to the south.
The statesmen from that section
believe that Bryan made his govern
ment ownership pronouncement mere
u as declaration of his personal
idea. but that he had no notion of
insisting upon it becoming a party
tenet. On the contrary, they have
been assured by friends of Bryan him
self that if the matter is fairly fought
out before the committee on plat
form and government ownership Is
rejected he will not sulk in his tent, !
but will content himself with the be-
lief that he is a generation or so
ahead of his party, a position which |
other distinguished Democrats have
occupied before Bryan.
Learn Lesson From Parker.
Perhaps it is to emphasize their
that the Southern Dem
ocrats are beginning to insist that
man from their section shall be put
on the ticket so that they may be
well balanced as between the free
trade, government ownership tenden-
cy of Bryan, and the protective tariff,
nome rule theories OF the South.
Most of the Southern men are sick
and tired of the theory that they
must consider the "advisability" of
only. 1t was that theory
which dictated the nomination of
Parker. The Southern people be-
lieved ne would stand a chance of
