It Is said that the day of oratory Is
past, and in large sense that Is true.
The printing press, the telegraph, the
steam car the electric car and the
stenographer have about put the old
fashioned spread eagle orator out of
business, but nothing will ever put out
of business the man who knows what
he wants to say and conveys his mes

Even the most industrious member

their committee duties and who have
established reputation for honesty
and fair dealing. Such a one Is Mr..

Uncle Joe 70 the Front.

The Republican presidential situation
changes frequently. Most people here
believe that somehow or somehow else
President Roosevelt will be induced
to become candidate. That belief
causes most declarations for favorites
to be made cOnditionally. But, taking
II for granted that Colonel Roosevelt
stands pat on his numerous decKna-
tlons, then here Is my analysis of the
case as it now stands: Foraker. the anti.
Roosevelt candidate; Mr.. Speaker Can.
non, the administration candidate: Vice
President Fairbanks, his own candi
date, cautious. noncommittal, watching
which way the eat Will jump. IL is
perhaps hardly fair to rank Uncle Joe
he and the president are cheek by
jowl, for Uncle Joe Is strong i'm his
own right and, IL nominated, would be
popular candidate 1t must be clear
that IL Foraker keeps on making head.
way at last the whole force of the ad
minlstration will be thrown enthusiast.
ically against him, and the chances
now seem to be in favor of its being
thrown to Speaker Cannon. At this
stage Of the proceedings 1t looks this
way: If Uncle Joe makes up his mind
to go after the presidential nomination
and IL the White House influence Is
really for him, he will bag the nomi.
nation. If he were five years younger.
/ would say he was sure winner
that is, as sure as anything in politics
can be. He is past seventy, but well
preserved, active as cat and his force
unabated. Gladstone, Disraeli, Bis
marck, Won Ranke and others did great
things when older than Uncle Joe.
This being true, his age will not cut
much figure. or course those advocat.
ing other candidates will use 1t for all
1t Is worth, but few speeches from
the speaker on the stump, properly
staged-and his secretary, Mr.. White
Busby, can be depended on to stage
them-and all opposition to him on
point of age will vanish as the morn.
ing mist. 1t Is well for those who are
interested in presidential politics toI
keep an eye on Uncle Joseph. He Is a
big factor in the fascinating game.
III the Democrats act with prudence,
they can elect the next president, no,
matter who the Republican nominee Is.
