Mr.. Roosevelt's Book,

The old saying that history re
peats itself is again proving true
for In reading Mr.. Roosevelt's lif,
of Benton we find that "Bentol
tried to throw the blame mainly
on the bankers and politicians
who, he alleged, had formed al
alliance for the overthrow of tn,
administration, but he made tn,
plea more half-heartedly thar
usual, and probably in his secret
would acknowledge its puerility.
"Benton and others pretended
to believe that the panic was the
result of deop-laid plot on the
part Of the rich classes who con.
trolled the banks, to excite popu.
lar hostility against the Jackson.
ian Democracy on account of the
caste antagonism which these same
richer classes were supposed to
feel toward the much-vaunted
party of the people; and as Ben
toms mental vision was singularly
warped in regard to some subjects,
it is possible that the belief was
not altogether pretense.
cit is entirely unnecessary now
seriously to discuss the proposition
that it would be possible to drag
the commercial classes into so
widespread and profound secro4
conspiracy with such vague end
In view and the certainty that
they themselves would be from a
business standpoint the main suf-
ferers.
"But few years before the
Jachsonians had appealed to
senseless public dislike of the So
called "money power" in order to
help themselves to victory, and
now they had the chagrin of see-
ing an only less rational outcry
raised against themselves in turn
and used to oust them from their
places with the same ffectiveness
which had previously attended
their own frothy and loud d-mouthed
declamatlons.
The future historian in writing
the life of Roosevelt will be quite
likely to use the same argument
about Roosevelt's ideas and con-
nection with the present panic as
Mr.. Roosevelt does indirectly what
Benton thought and did. The
difference will be that while Ben
ton could not be blamed for the
panic of his day, it will be very
difficult for any historian to evade
giving some blame to President
Roosevelt for the present panic.

Food for the vultures.

| With congress in session, the
Ohio Legislature about to convene
and the Taft and Foraker
managers, sub.managers, lieu
tenants and scouts securing the
state in the interest of their re-
spective chiefs, the average Buck
eye citizen, who takes to politics
as a duck to water, has every
reason to be happy in spite of the
deplorabe results Of the present
Republican panic. The situation
may be trying to the aforesaid
managers and their immediate
coworkers, and more 80 to Taft
and Foraker, but their unhappiness
does not appear to be the slightest
bar to the keen enjoyment of the
layman, who sees before him full
six months of the most exciting
pleasure-one continuous round of
conventions, county, district, state
and national. The Republican
situation in Ohio is indeed accute,
strained almost to the bursting
point. The people at last thor
oughly appreciate the predieament
in which they have been placed by
the Foraker candidacy and realize
the necessity of prompt action,
the feeling finding an outlet in
vigorous demand for an early state
convention, and as they claim con-
troll of the state central committee
no one need be surprised to see
that body assembled within few
days. The Taft strength, being
merely the reflected strength of
Roosevelt, is rapidly dissipating
with the waning popularity of the
White House idol, and the eager
ness of his managers for an early |
convention is not without reason.
Therefore when the committee I
meets, if they can control its
actions, the convention will be set |
for some time either in February or
March. There is no doubt that
later date would be advantageous
the Forakerites and preferred by
them, but whether or not they
will oppose the midwlnter scheme
is not known. AS soon as the
call is issued the fight tor
supremacy will at once be carried
into every county, and possibly
every voting precinct, in the state,
upon the manner de-
cided upon for the selec ton of |
delegates. When this time ar
rives the politicians who have been
keeping In the middle of the road
will rush for the tall timber to
escape the branding irons of the
opposing factions. A big letter

Economic Club Orators Also Praise
Roosevelt.

NEW YORK, December 13.-Walloping
the railroads and the corporations and
acclaiming Mr.. Roosevelt were the di-
versions of every speaker last night at
the Economic Club dinner at the Hotel
Astor. The club is composed very largely
of bankers, lawyers and active and re-
tired merchants, and it cannot be stated
truthfully that these sentiments were
wildly applauded. The orator who had
been billed to take the other side did
not come.
Commissioner Charles A. Prouty Of the
interstate commerce commission. who
said at the outset that with him 1t was
no case of his masters voice, lambasted
the railroads and suggested further ways

and their finances. William H. Langdon

at the door of the Pacific roads most

people. Even A. Barton Hepburn, presi-
dent of the Chase National Bank and
of the Economic Club, said that the
swinging of the big stick had been very
useful.

WILL NOT FIGHT SLEMP.
Democrats Surrender the Ninth Vir.
ginia District to Him.

OLD POINT COMFORT, Va. December
13-lt is long way from tidewater Vir.
glnia to mountainous Virginia. Between
the waves which lap the western shore OF
the Chesapeake bay and the vines that
climb the mountains in the far western
section there is broad territorial plain
in which thousands of workers are daily
toiling and adding to the commemorative
prosperity-on the farm, in the factory, in
trade and in commerce.
From the mountains to the bay shore
has come the interesting story of a re-
publican candidate for Congress in rock
ribbed democratic Virginia who is not OPP
posed by a democrat.
The ninth congressional district is in the
extreme southwestern part of the stat.
a few years ago Col. Campbell Slemp had
the hardihood to be republican candi-
date for Congress. He was elected. His
success was due in large part to the or
ganiZation ability of his soma SMOOTH
faced young man with high forehead who
knew how to handle men and how to bring
results Col. Slemp was elected to Con-
gress by slim majority, which was num-
bered by the hundreds. His election was
great triumph for republicans in south
west Virginia. Again he was candidate,
and his majority was estimated by thou
sands instead of hundreds. While at the
height of success the hand of death laid
low the victor.
Upon the death Of his father. c. Bascom
Slemp came to the front. He WAS hailed
as his fathers successor. He was chosen
as the republican candidate for Congress.
The special election will be held Decem-
Der II. The date of the election and the
peculiar personality of the candidate have
fioated from the mountains of southwest
Virginia to the wave-washed shores of
the Chesapeake.
Col. Campbell Slemp. the representative
of the ninth district in Congress, died on
October Is of the present year. He was
elected last year for a term of two years
His death, therefore, created vacancy.
On October 2S Gov. Swanson of Virginia
ordered a special election on December II
to fill the vacancy caused by Col. Slemp's
death. The republican congressional dis
trict committee met at Bristol on Mo-
rember Z. A nominating convention was
ordered to meet at Gate City, Scott coun-
ty. November 10.
c. Bascomb Slemp, son OF the dead
representative and the organizer of his
fathers campaigns, was the unanimous
choice of that convention, and he will be
elected by an overwhelming majority at
the special election December IL.
Mr. Slemp has opposition. and it Is
curious fact that he is opposed, not by
democrat. but by a republican-D. i.
BaiIey-who IS appealing to republicans
and democrats for support.
