The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1907-08-29

ticians are agreed. 1t is almost
unanimously conceaed, for instance,
that Mr.. Taft has cleared the at
and by his candid and
manly profession of faith has re-
moved all doubt as to who is the
logical candidate of the Republican
party, provided a continuation of |
the Roosevelt policies is desired.
Mr.. Taft is so thoroughly in SYM
pathy with all that the President
has done or desired to do that there
can be no other candidate selected
if the party wants perpetuation of
the policies of this administration.
There are number of politicians,
however, who assert their convic.
ton that the party has had enough
of "Rooseveltism' and that in its
next annual convention it will turn
to an exponent of 'safer and saner
Republicanism" Of course, Sena-
tor Foraker is the most logical lead
er of this faction of the party and
were the Senator able TO command
the delegation from his own state he
would probably be their leader in
the national convention. In view of
Secretary Taft's strength in Ohio,
however, there seems to be little
likelihood that the sssafe and sane"
faction will undertake to compass
Mr. Foraker's nomination, although
they may be largely guided by his
advice.
The anti Roosevelt Republicans
in Washington declare that Secre-
tary faft's tariff views will prove Of
invaluable assistance to them, as
they believe it will enable all of the
"stand patters" with the trusts and
the railroads against the nomination
of the man who is recognized as
President Roosevelt's choice, and
with the unlimited funds which will
be at their disposal they profess great
confidence in their success. They
claim, moreover, that by proclaiming
his views ten months in advance of
the nominating convention Mr..
Taft has afforded them ample time
to accomplish his defeat and they
profess to be very grateful to the
Secretary for his Columbus speech,
although some of the Foraker-ltes
are indignant because he declined
to discuss the Brownsville matter
while the subject was under consid-
GRAFTON by Senate committe,
claiming that the Secretary's re-
spect for "the proprieties" constitut-
ed an implied reproof to Senator
Foraker for discussing the subject
while the committe of which he is a
member is still celebrating on it.
The President, Secretary Taft
and other leaders of the Republican
party have reached the conclusion
that William J. Bryan will be the
Democratic candidate for president,
and they regard him as the strong
est man whom the opposition could
select There is just now some eff
fort being made TO launch boom
fer Lewis S. Chanler, lieutenant
governor of New York, his chief
claim to recognition being that he
was elected at the same time that
Governor Hughes (Republcan) de-
feated William r. Hearst. Mr..
Chanler does not seem, however, to
be. very striking or attractive per-
sonaIity and it is predicted by the
Democratic politicians here that his
boom will never get beyond New
York state, even if it makes prog
ress there. Mr.. Bryan is said to be
quietly working among politicians
and publicly working on the Chata-
qua circles and some of his intimates
predict that he will experience no
difficulty in controlling the next
Democratic national convention.
