London, Aug. 29.-Colonel O'Brien,
president of the Southern Express
Company, in an interview here, said:
Just now, politics and commercial
affairs in America are SO inter-de-
pendent that, in order to discuss one,
it is necessary to include the other
1t is a remarkable condition for any
country, and particularly for repub-
lie, when the acts and utterances of
one man can so greatly affect the
financial and commercial, as well as
the political, interests of the country
THE conditions in America are GER
tainly diScOuraging. The clouds are
thick and threatening, and President
Roosevelt's ProvincetOwn speech, in
stead of lettering measures. has, in
my opinion, made them worse. But
in spite of all the storm signs, am
sanguine that fair weather is due fol-
America and that very soon.
L may be over-sanguine, but some
how l feel that resumption of the
conservative elements of power Will
take place either before election or
Immediately following. If the Demo
Gratis were wise, they could grasp the
present opportunity. By nominating a
safe and conservative citizen like
Judge Gray, of Delaware, they could
certainly win the presidency.
The people are ready for change,
a real change, not simply swap of
radicals in the White House. There
is, on the other hand, considerable
talk of Mr.. Roosevelt succeeding him
self, but personally 1 cannot see how
he could accept another nomination
without StultifVinp himSe and SWa-
lowing all his written and spoken ut
terances on the possibility of his be-
ing a candidate"
