Senator Bacon and the Presidency

Senator Bacon of Georgia is in favor of
southern man for President. In an in
terview he says:
Where would you find man north or
south who would make "A nobler President
tlidn John Daniel. or one that the country,
north and south. would be prouder OF? And
there are Culberson and Carmack and
George Gray and dozens of others who
could be named. all of them able and of
high. uHbiemiShed character and also ex-
p,ricnced in public affairs. What Is needed
s Tor some one of them to step out and
say that hc seeks the nomination and will
make the fight for it When he does so
and gets the south behind hiuf as either one
o. Them would do under such circumstances
the nomination will be his.
In my judgment not only would he Sc
cure the nomination. but he would stand
a better chance of election than any north
ern democrat who can be selected for the
nomination. There are many republicans
north who prefer to see the next President
q democrat, and from many expressions /
have heard | believe they would prefer to
see a southern democrat rather than a
northern democrat chosen for the Office

Mr.. Bryan's so-Called Sacrifice.

Speaking Of Mr.. Bryan's hedging on
the subject of the government ownership
and operation of railroads, the Chicago
Tribune says:
'It must have gone against the grain
with Mr. Bryan to sacrifice his reputation
for infallibility and consistency in error.
That he has sacrificed 1t proves that he Is
determined that the lightning shall strike
him when the democratic national conven-
ton meets next year"
1t was not Mr.. Bryans first experience
of the kind What he has said as to silver
is of a somewhat similar nature He does
not admit error in his contention as to sill
yer as money Of redemption. He still
holds to his views. and is expecting that
the great growth of business will outstrp
the new additions to metal money from
the discoveries of gold and in that day he
will again favor free coinage and probably
at sixteen to one. 1t is a great mistake to
consider Mr.. Bryan as cured Of his sill
yer heresy." The germ of the disorder Is
still in his system and liable to become
active again at any time.
So in the case of government ownership
of railroads. Mr.. Bryan believes In that
as much on the evening he declared for
1t in the Madison Square Garden. He is
certain too, that in time, and in no long
time. government ownership will become
necessary; and his present activity is with
the view of securing the presidency in
order to use the powers of that great office
to forward the policy.
In reality, therefore, Mr.. Bryan has sacri-
feed nothing. He merely confesses that he
is a little ahead of his time He considers
himself prophet. and expects to be vindi-
Gated. He is still free silver man, and
retracts nothing of the argument he ad-
yanced in 1895. He is still a government
ownership man. and looks with compIa-
cency on what he calls the rate regulation
experiment. confident that it will fail, and
that the failure will crown him as both a
prophet and statesman. T.
In the light of these facts, if Mr. Bryan
is his party's candidate next year he will
be also its platform. It's formal deliver
ances might make no mention of either free
silver or government ownership of rail-
roads, but both, in the known convictions
of the candidate. would enter into the cam
paign. The party would be asking for the
election of man pledged In his own mind
to both. and for placing in his hands the
power of the greatest office under the gov
eminent.
VIII the democracy do this? Mr. Bryan
Is today the only man on the horizon. and
undoubtedly both he and his friends are of
the belief that no other man will appear in
the next year.

Ohio and Judge Taft.

A l. Vorys the manager of the Taft
boom In Ohio. makes this comment on yes
terdays action of the republican state COM
mittee:
THE great Importance of the committee
resolution lies in Its removing all doubts
In the minds of people in other states about
Ohios being for Taft and in Its demonstra-
ton that Taft will have the Ohio delega-
TON in 1905,
on the contrary. people in other states
will have fresh proof that the situation In
Ohio is most unfortunate both for Judge
Taft and for his party, and will wonder
afresh at the maneuvering now in progress
there The claim that Judge Taft Is the
favorite son of Ohio cannot be based upon
the action of committee which, in the first
place. had no authority to act, and in the
second place,-acted under the spur of a
compromise. And even then the minority
did not acquiesce. Enthusiasm only two
thirds strong suggests butter only toler-
ably good. Neither commands the market
top price.
Mr.. Foraker promptly declares that the
committees vote has no weight with him,
and presumably he will see that it has
none with his supporters. His program is
unchanged. and he will keep his numerous
engagements to speak. So that the row
fled by the committee. If the fight to Sc
cure Taft instructions next year from a
state convention. or from districts, is as
bitter this fight has been. and is won in
the same way. Judge Tafts position in the
national convention a favorite son will
be peculiar beyond parallel
The confession of the Taft managers of
the mistake they made at the outset, and
their effort 10 correct it. came too late.
Mr.. Foraker is justified in paying no at
tention now to any denial they may make
about their purpose to eliminate him from
the political equation at home and else
where. Such purpose was entertained
and. In effect, announced. If they have
found themselves unable TO carry it out
II may not be inferred that they are now
his supporters for another term in the Sem
ate. He well understands that il he is to
keep his feet it Will not be through their
support. If his commission is to be renewed
1t Will not be by them. or with their aid.
The municipal elections which take place
In November will be watched with more in
terest than ever. and the result may throw
additional light on matters. If there Is any
democratic party left in Ohio 1t has now an
excellent incentive to get busy.

Automobile Road Racing.

rom the New 1Ofk Evening POST.
No one need weep over the abandonment
Of the Vanderbilt cup automobile race
After last years accidents and crowdine
on the Long Island course, it was manifest
ly impossible to hold it there again, and
the attempt to get special legislation for il
in New Jersey fe.led. as was proper The
proposal to order out the militia to guard
the roads was singularly impudent, and
helped to defeat the plan in that state. We
hope this meahs the end of high-speed rae
ing on public roads in this country. If con-
tests of this kind are necessary for the de-
velopment of the automobile they should
take place on especially constructed private
roads, OF on race tracks like that at Brook
lands. near London, where every possible
precaution for the safety of the racers and
the public has been taken. 1t seems to US
questionable whether high-speed racing
really is of value to the industry. Such en-
durance contests as the Glidden tour Just
ended are Of far greater worth both to
makers and users, and are, therefore, to be
encouraged.
