be ready to follow Roosevelt.
They believe in the election of
United States Senators by pop

I Republican National Campaign
Committee, post of distinction
which any young man with an
eye to the substantial rev ards
certain to follow the successful
performance of it's duties is not
likely to decline if the decision is
left with him.
Mr.. Hitchcock has unquestion-
ably been under great mental
and physical strain. He has
accomplished everything he set
out to do, coming within two Of
delivering to Mr.. Taft the 704
delegates he promised to deliver
when selected S the driving
power for the Taft machine.
There is no tonic like success
and there is no question that,
with it, Mr.. Hitchcock would
have no difficulty in overcoming
any physical weakness that exists
in ample time to take up the
work Of campaign management.
It is evident that the reason he
has given for his refusal to be
considered in connection with the
Craftsmanship is not the real
reason. There can be no doubt
that he wants the place nor that
his service entitle him to it. If
he is sidetracked, it will be sole
ly because of the fact that jeal-
ously of success has lead to
combination against him which
Mr.. Taft is afraid to oppose.
If he yields to it, his political
chances will be in as serious
danger as was his bodily welware
Sunday afternoon.
What the Republican party
needs is man with CortelyOu's
peculiar ability for delivering
the goods and who is not handi-
capped by his reputation for ex-
tortion. Hitchcock has the ability
and the nerve, and it will not
take him long to learn all of the
Cortelyou methods and if nee
essary, to improve on them.
The Republicans have but one
chance of defeating Mr.. Bryan,
and that is by raising a campaign
fund which will enable them to
carry such debatable States as
New York and Indiana. Mr..
Hitchcock is better equipped, by
his association with CortelyOu
and his experience of the past
four months, than any other man
in the Republican party to do
this work. The campaign on the
part of the Republicans will not
be one of sentiment. And MIR.
Hitchcock is not sentimentallst.
He is an intensely practical
Young man who knows how to
get results. Mr.. Taft will make
a serious blunder if he lets
, brother Charley or any OF the
rest of them force Hitchcock to
spend the summer in search OF
health instead of corporation
dollars.
And the Republican p arty
doesn't often make mistakes OF
this charlottesville Times.
