Secretary Taft started the rechristen-

Taft as Postmaster General Meyer

"And 1 suppose the one arriving now

Secretary Wilson Of the department Of

Secretary Taft, Postmaster General
Meyer and Secretary Metcalf all shout

By JAMES A. EDGERTON,

TH HE making of election predic-
n lions is hazardous. First, there
d Is the moral certainty that the
prophecy will be found wrong
at some point and fair chance that
it will be wrong at all points; second,
the forecast is bound to offend all but
the partisans of the man whose favor
able horoscope is cast. In case it is
also an ante-convention bit of fortune
telling the number of the disgruntled
will be measurably increased. for this
will include not only every body of the
opposite party, but the friends of all
other candidates in the same party
For instance, If the luckless forecast
er were to play up the exclusive and
advance information that Bryan is to
be the next president the prophet
aforesaid would be without honor in
any country except Nebraska, and
there people would doubt his sanity
He would gain the Ill will of all Re-
publicans, Populists, Socialists, Prohi-
bitionists, Independence leaguers and
Of the members of such other parties
as may spring up between now and
election. Not only so, but he would
arouse the hostility of all Democrats
except the rooters for the Nebraskan.
Thus in gaining the friendship of one
fourth of the population the prophet
Of figures Is sure to make enemies Of
the other three-fourths. Truly, it is
anything but pleasant outlook

calling Of the election forecaster the

sad fate that befell the foremost of
the clan should be convincing. There
was a day when General Charles II.
Grosvenor, otherwise known as "Old
Figgers." was one Of the mightiest Of
the mighty. He was a member of the
house machine, debater whose
tongue was feared by all and a high
priest Of the stand patters. But in an
evil hour he gave way to temptation
and began making election forecasts.
And look at him now.

conventions-and the successful man

solutely nothing, while there are ways
in which Republican president can
persuade a Republican senate.
Fourth.-While Taft will lose from
the conservative side, though not as
much as Roosevelt would lose. he will
also lose number of radical Repub-
licans that might vote for Roosevelt.
Fifth.-With all of Mr.. Taft's esti-
mable qualities. he lacks a certain
something-cau it magnetism or what
you will-which appeals to the public
imagination. He is not a candidate to
fire the multitude. Whatever flames
are started this time must be by the
man behind Taft.
So much for Secretary Taft's weak
points. On the other hand, it must be
admitted that Bryan has a natural
majority Of from half million to
million votes to overcome He has no
certain states in the north and may
even have to fight for one or two bor-
der states. He is handicapped by hav-
ing burned his powder twice. Every
body has heard him and may not feel
SO wildly excited over an old story.
1t is hard to get a laugh out of a last
years almanac
Bryan also will lose some to the Pop
ulists. Watson's vote will mostly
come from the south, it is true, but
even a few in the north may turn some
state. Moreover, Watson may aid the
Republicans by making a back fire
campaign and diverting Bryans at

act would be equivalent to committing
political suicide. Roosevelt has said
he wants Taft, and that settles it
Taft it will be-
As for Bryan, his nominal ton has
been certain so long that it is hardly
worth while discussing it. Ever since
he returned from his jaunt around
the World-aye, ever since the political
steam roller passed over a gentleman
named Alton B. Parker-Bryan has
had the Democratic candidacy for the
asking. Why he should want it at all
may be an enigma, but not the fact
that he can grab it if he desires. Prob
ably running for president has grown
into habit with him, or he may fig
ure that, being yet comparatively
young man, he may keep on running
long enough to slip in some time when
the other side is not watching How
ever these things may be, it is appar-
ent that in this year of our Lord he
has pre-empted the Democratic man
sion and has chased all the other would
be candidates into the back lot Bryan
is now only forty eight years old, and
II he keeps on running till he is
eighty he has nine or ten good races
in him yet.
Bryan's friends say that he actually
expects to be elected this year and that
if he is he will never run again. What
temptation he places before the
country!
Possibly he figures that in a fat
mans race the man with the least en-
onpoint-pronounce it if you dare
should win out Bryan has some flesh
himself, but Taft makes him look like
! living skeleton. II Taft should be
elected he would make the hencoor
that Is used as an executive building
bulge out at the sides.
Let us suppose now that it is the
middle Of July and that William How
ard Taft is the nominee of the Repub
Liam party and William Jennings Bryan
Is the standard bearer of the Demo
cratic party. Which shall we pick fol
winner? Neither looks much like
champion, but we have had homelJ
presidents before. Consider all points
carefully before choosing your favor
lite. OF course you may decide to vott
for the one you think will lose Some
Of us do that frequently. This may b.
on the principle that we favor the I'm
derdog Or on the general idea tina
we are ''agin the government" or sim
ply because the prospective loser be
longs to our party. This is not an in
| quiry as to how we intend to vote
| however, but as to the man we thinl
will win.
In comparing the two candidates thu
first thing apparent is that Taft ha
held Office all his life and Bryan ha
! tried to. In this connection it is no
fair to charge Mr.. Bryan with lack o
executive experience. That is not hi
fault
Another point in common is tina
both have travelled extensively, bu
each is willing to forego the pleasure
of leaving the country for four years.

figures. Of proba bilities in a given sit
uation. I ask the reader to take the
same unbiased and unimpassioned
view. In making the estimate I am
leaving out all minor parties, such
as the Populists, the Socialists, the
ProhibiHonists and the Independence
leaguers, not that I think they are un-
worthy of mention, but because they
do not stand a ghost Of show in
this election. Every one of these
movements is worthy of respectful

Taft Only In Sight.
The nomination of Taft is not as
much of foregone conclusion as that
of Bryan, and yet it seems practically
assured. Hughes will have the lar
gest outside following, but will not be
near Taft on the first ballot If it
were possible to combine all the field
against the Ohio man he might be
beaten, but when the delegations
break away from the favorite sons
Taft will get his share In Indiana
that will be the lions share. 1t is not
to be imagined for moment that La
Toilette and Cummins will throw their
strength to a reactionary or to any one
opposed by the administration AS
for the south, it's delegates will be con-
trolled largely by the federal brigade,
as always. 1t may be set down as con-
elusive that the great bulk of the mid
die and far west is, for Taft. It is for
Roosevelt or for the man Roosevelt
wants. Looking at the matter from
any possible viewpoint, there is. moth
ing in sight in the Republican ma
honal convention but William Howard
Taft.
To defeat the nomination of Taft
would be a direct affront to the presi-
dent, and that the Republican party
will be very far from giving. It does
not wish to ahront Roosevelt In the
first place and even if it did would
not dare to do 50 considering the pres
emit. temper Of the country. Such an

Not Much of a Cinch.

Taking everything into considera-
ton, however, this election is not go
ing to be as much Of a cinch as some
people would like to have it. There
are several reasons. To particularize:
First.-Labor will cut Taft. There is
no gainsaying this fact, and there is no
good in trying to minimize it. The or
gained labor vote of this country is
large and influential Recently it has
been aroused by three adverse court
decisions. Taft was once a federal
Judge, and the workingmen take vigor-
Gus exceptions to some Of his injunc-
TONS
Second.-The colored vote will cut
Taft The Brownsville affair is not
forgotten nor the secretary Of wars
part therein. Those politicians who
figure that because the negroes always
have voted the Republican presiden-
tial ticket they are going to do 1t again
this year should cease vague generali-
cations and get some definite, first
hand information.
Third.-Wall street and the s.inter-
ests" will be lukewarm and will do
little or nothing for either SIDE This
will be distinct loss to the Repub-
licans, as these influences heretofore
have been actively for the Republican
ticket. Wall street does not like Bry-
an, but there are reasons why 1t would
prefer him to Roosevelt or even one Il
regards as Roosevelt's legatee. With
An adverse senate Bryan could do alb
