THE Y. NJ c. A. MOVEMENT

The efforts OF this paper to start a
movement here for the formation OF
Y. NJ. {. Association and the
erection of a building, as a home for
the association, have aroused the In
terest OF large number OF our peo-
pie, and we are informed that a plan
is being formulated to have a meet
ing in the near future and begin work
with the object of carrying our sug-
gestiOns into effect We are abso-
lutely confident that once the move
ment is started here our people, and
especially our business men, will re
spOnd with enthusiasm and alacrity
to a call such as this one would be.
As a well known correspondent has
suggested in these columns, nothing
can be of more benefit to the young
men OF a city than a Y. NJ. c. A., and
not only is this so, but it would
benefit the whole city to have such an
institution in our midst. 1t would
open it's arms to welcome our young
men and it would be GOdsend to
those who come among sstrangers.
1t would, in short, prove blessing
which we must have and which we
believe the people OF this city are de-
Uermined to secure.

THE DEMOCRATS AND PRESl-
DENT ROOSEVELT

The Charlottesville Progress con-
tains an editorial advocating the ac-
ceptance of President Roosevelt as
the candidate of the Democratic
party for the presidency in 1908.
The Progress says in part that;
"There is large element in the
Democratic party, especially IN the
South and West, which would be
clad to see Theodore Roosevelt re-
consider his determination not to be
a candidate for the presidency.
These friends aud admirers OF MIR.
Roosevelt do not belong TO the sane
and conservative Democracy, but to
that wing of the party which recog-
nizes William jennings Bryan as the
great exponent and defender OF the
Democratic faith and who see in Mr..
Roosevelt much of the samecourage,
honesty and 'radicalism which en-
dears the Nebraskan TO them. They
love Roosevelt. not alone for the enc
mics he has made, but because in his
policies of reform, aud in many OF
the principles he is advocating, he
commands their strong personaland
political approval.
We cannot believe that our es-
teemed contemporary is in touch
with the sentiment of Democrats OF
rho SOuth when il asserts that there
is large element of the Democratic
party, especially in the South, which
would be glad to see Theodore Roose-
welt reconsider his determinationnot
to be a candidate in 1908 1t iStrue
that Democrats admire Mr.. ROOse-
velt's courage and honesty OF pur-
pose, and that fOrsOme time in many
quarters he has been proclaimed by
Democrats as entertaining and ad-
vocating pretty good Democratic
doctrines, but there isn't one good
Democratic leader in one hundred in
the South who would be willing to
endorse Mr.. Roosevelt as the party 5
candidate in 1908, even if there were
any possible chance of Mr.. RoOse-
welt accepting such a nomination.
There may be a few scattering Dem
ocrats who imagine that there is no
available man left in the ranks OF the
Democratic party to put forward In
Incorporating presidential election,
but the vast majority believe. and
believe rightly, that there are Just as
good and available men in the party
today as there ever were. Moreover,
there isn't one Democrat in ten
thousand who would for an instant
consider the proposition while Presi-
dent Roosevelt entertains the feelings
he does as to States rights. Mr..
Roosevelt may be trust buster from
away back and as such may appeal
nightly to Democrats, but they
would prefer to leave the trust I'M
busted to running any further risk
OF having State lines smashed to
smithereens. Brother Lindsay is on
the wrong track and his proposition
is in the nature of an absurdity.

Ready to Oppose Williams For House Minority
Leadership.

Representative De Almond by way OF
announcement of his candidacy for the
minority leadership to succeed John
Sharp Williams in the Sixtieth Congress.
Mr.. De Almond thus corroborated a
statement that an effort was being made
to make him leader OF the Democratic
members of the House.
Those who are backing Mr. De Ar
mond claim they have enough votes
pledged to ensure his selection. But the
Williams adherents deny these claims,
and say that Mr.. De Almond has been a
receptive candidate for ten years, and
that he is backed by a small and dis
gruntled minority within the minority.
