Some Of David B. Hills Democratic friends
In New York State are talking him up as a
Presidential possibility next year. Demo-
cratic State committeeman like Daniel Shee-
han OF Elmra. Charles N. Bulger OF OswegO
and John ". Carlisle of WatertOwn have re-
sumed their pilgrimaRes TO WOlferts RO0sG.
Mr.. Carlisle said yesterday,
David Il. Hill should be New York's choice
for the Democratic nomination for President.
He is safe. sane and conservative enough to
please the most radical
Il have seen Senator Hill lately. He is in
splendid health. Whether or not he would
jump into the Presidential contest cannot
say at this time.
1T seems to me that IL we want to win in
1908 David b. Hill is the man for the Demo-
Gratis to win with. He is one of the ablest
lawyers in the United States.
nc ~ KNOWN LTOul Mdlub 10 NhuIOFnlt, anu
his views on all public questions are well
known. He has the confidence and respect
of the public.
Il think II concerted movement were
made to get New York in Hne for Senator
Hill for President IL would meet with a most
hearty response"
In fact. Mr. Hills friends say this would
be q good ticket:
For President. David B. Hill Of New York
For Vice-President, Gov. johnson Of Min
nesota-
For Governor. John $. Whslen OF Rochester
One OF the Hill boomers declared: He
voted for Bryan twice. supported and worked
for Parker. voted for Hearst and his regu-
lsrty is not questioned. With Hill "a our
for President. Roosevelt or any
man he names would be beaten"
The statement that Hill voted for Bryan
twice is the first definite declaration concern
ing HIS attitude. especially in 1906 when he
declared himself to be still a Democrat. a
very still Democrat.
Samuel Fessenden. one Of the old time
warriors of the Republican party. is seriously
IN at his home in Stamford. Conn. Mr. Fes-
senden was the member of the Republican
national committee for the Nutmeg state
from 1854 to 1000 and was a delegate to the
stirring national conventions OF his party.
Powell Clayton OF Arkansas and Nathan
Bay Scott OF West Virginia are the oldest in
point Of service Of the present Republican
national committee. Clayton having served
since 1875 and Scott since 1898.
Grover Cleveland, IL Is recalled. was never
, delegate at large TO the Presidential CON
Ventions OF his party. but he got thar thrice |
Just the same.
The President is always getting into
nesseA, said a national Republican close 10 |
Roosevelt yesterday. but prob |
,bly the meanest and most insidioUs mess he's |
rot into lately is the In God We Trust mess.
We In Washington know that the Presidents |
attitude In this matter has been received with |
,mazement and alarm by thousands OF our |
rood people all over the country"
The wits at the Manhattan Club say the |
icket next year should be:
For President. Theodore Roosevelt.
For ice-President. William J. Bryan.
Or:
For President, William ;. Bryan.
For vice-President. Theodore Roosevelt
