ELECTION
Is Belief of Business
Men of the West
Who Can See Only Four
Possible Candidates,
Roosevelt, Bryan, Taft
and Johnson-BrYan is
First With Democrats.
(walter wellman in Chicago Record
HeraldD

Kalispell, Mont, April what do
business men think of the political
situation? What are the opinions OF
the active, bustling, well-informed,
travelled men of affairs one meets
upon the transcontinental express
trains-men from the far and middle
West, from the central states, from
the East, men representing all par
ties and all lines of business and In
dustrial activity? In answering these
questions It is not pretended that all
think alike; there are, OF course, diff
ferences OF opinion, according to To-
eality, environment, party affiliation.
But | am speaking of the opinions
OF the majority, OF the views held by
the greater number after the minor
discarded. Considered In this way, we
arrive at certain general conclusions
o. 10 the views held and expressed
by the class OF men We have under
discussion-views not so much indiyid-
pal as typical of the great mass of In
telligent public opinion throughout the
country. Cbnsplcuous among these
general conclusions are the following:
l. That what D. known as the
Roosevelt policies have been success
ful. that they have gained the sup
port of the country, that they must be
continued, that the country will not
knowingly elect 70 the presidency or
place in power at washington a man
or party likely 70 take the back track.
2. That four possible successors TO
The presidency, and only four, are
considered by the public as represent
ing these policies and sure to do all
In their power to carry them out,
Should they be intrusted with author
ity. These four are President Roose-
welt himself Mr.. Bryan. Secretary
Taft and Governor Johnson.
3, That on account OF the success
OF his policies and the great popular
support given them. Mr.. Roosevelt is
the strongest and most powerful and
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1908-04-07

may be stampeded to Roosevelt, but
the majority hold that the movement
for Taft has been so well engineered
by the president himself. that the
lines have been set so hard and fast
that SO many obligations have been
created. alliances made and under
standings arrived at, that II will be
difficult. II not impossible, to break
down that phalanx and secure any
other result than the nomination OF
Taft, and that pretty sure to come on
the first or second ballot. There is
general recognition of the fact that
by throwing his prestige and strength
80 completely to Taft the president
has made his own nomination well
nigh impossible; and this one fact i'm
presses the keen observers of whom we
are speaking with realization of the
presidents absolutely sincerity. IL
he were playing any underhanded
game, "hide and seek" he certainly
would not have played It so sweep
ingly, earnestly and effectively.
There is now almost universal rec
ognition of the apparent fact, con-
tended for during the last three
months in these dispatches, that IL
Taft is not nominated Roosevelt will
be.

give some assurance that the head
quarters Of the Aero club Of Ohio
may be moved TO Salem. A number
OF ascensions. at least, will likely oc-
cur, and the possibility OF moving the
club to Salem depends largely upon
the outcome OF the present difficulties
In Canton. It Is safe TO say. however,
that the consideration which Is being
given by the Aero club TO Salem's In
vitation is not merely an attempt to
scare Canton into compliance with the
clubs wishes.-Salem News.

"SAADY' c0pPARD
Accused Of RobbIng Travelling Man os
JeweIry Held TO Grand Jury.

Sandy Coppard was given hear
ing yesterday In mayors court and
was bound over 10 the grand Jury In
the sum of 100000. He was taken
to the county jail and turned over
to the custody of Sheriff Wilson after
the trial
Herbert Deal was the chief witness
for the state which was represented
by Prosecuting Attorney Upham.
Coppard was represented by Attorney
Mills. Coppard was charged with the
theft OF a diamond stud, ring ana
some money from l.. II. Vote, q
Pittsburg travelling man who was
relieved OF his valuables In Gig
Hahn's Saxton street saloon accord
ing to the testimony Of Deal who
was brought to- Canton from the
penitentiary where he Is serving
one and half year sentence for the
same offense.
Deal at his trial In common pleas
court last September made state
ment duplicating Coppard in the
robbery. He told straightforward
story then and II was repeated yes
terday at the trial OF Coppard. He
said that they met the man In Gigs"
Tuscarawas street saloon and tho
men had some drinks together. The
two mon left and later met the trav-
cling man at the Barnett house. He
inquired about hotel where he
said he was stopping and the men
named over lot of the hotels.
When they came TO the Germania
he said he thought that was the
name OF the place he was stopping
They went there but It proved to
be not the one.
They started back up town and
the travelling man proposed getting
a drink. The two men took him to
the Saxton street place and there after
getting several drinks ne fell asleep.
Deal stated that he and Coppard
went out and concocted the plan of
robbing the man Of his valuables.
Deal stated that he went back and
took the money and the pin. When
he came out Ooppard asked him
where the ring was, II did not get
IT," said Deal. "We might as we'll get
II too. for oan dispose OF them
said Coppard. The men took them
to Hahn's place and put them In the
safe. the next morning and shortly
afterward they were arrested. For
a long time Deal would not "squeal"
on his pal but he finally did and
Coppard was arrested In Akron.

most popular man In the country.
4. That next to the president In
popular esteem stands Mr.. Bryan;
that Mr.. Bryan has vastly strengthen
cd himself by his timely suggestion
of the principle OF guarantee or In
surance of bank deposlts--a suggestion
which, as have already pointed out,
has met with widespread approval.
5. That after Bryan comes Taft
whose original strength was largely
impaired to him because he was
known as the presidents choice, but
who has gained steadily on his own
personality, particularly among the
more moderate supporters of Roose-
yeltism, who believe Taft would carry
out the essence of the presidents
work with less irritation and commo-
tion.
s. That Governor Johnson Is at
tracing great attention and arousing
much curiosity because OF the wide
spread impression that, owing to for
tultous circumstances, he might be
elected where Bryan could not.

few still think the Chicago convention
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1908-04-07

Upon one point there Is agreement
so general as TO make Il worthy our
attention. II is that with Taft and
Bryan as the opposing candidates,
which Is the way best men believe the
campaign will In the end frame up
there is TO be a battle royal at the
polls. II will be no sure thing for
anyone. Republicans and Democrats
alike admit II. Those who have trav-
eled most and who have the widest
and most comprehensive view think
Taft will naturally have the better
chance, but even ardent Republicans
confess their misgivings as to the out
come. Western Democrats especially
are hopeful They cannot understand
the attitude OF mind OF their eastern
and southern brethren, who believe
Bryan Is to be put up only to be beaten
for the third and last time, and thus
be finally disposed OF as leader of his
party. Western Democrats believe
Bryan can win; they go 30 far as TO
say that he can carry such states as
Indiana and Illinois and Montana and
Washington and Idaho and Colorado
and Nevada and North Dakota, and
that he can, IL necessary, win without
New York.

the game the Democratic national con-
vention at Denver will be q Bryan

The entire west is Roosevelt-Taft

wishes to reach realization Of the
strength Of Bryan with the Democrat

treason In their eyes. 1uey cannot
conceive OF anyone else being better
vote getter than their hero, and they
denounce as fools or corporation hire

picious are these Bryan worshipers
that many OF them have actually work.
ed themselves into a frame OF mind
In which they sincerely believe the
corporations have taken UP Johnson
and are pushing him for no other pur-
pose than the defeat OF their idol. All
those things are among the phenom-
ena OF public opinion which must be
reckoned with.
