Gratis have stopped to observe the
results OH the Republican side of
the garden wall. Mr., Taft urges
Mr.. Parsons and his many other
friends in New York, not to press
his interests as against Governor
Hughes and declares that it is his
policy not to make a contest in any
state which has a favorite son.
Somehow the Hughes people do
not seem to be altogether pleased
at this magnaniuous course on the
part Of Secretary Taft. Nor is
that hard to understand, for the
large majority of the Hughes
people in New York have not been
at heart for Huges but against
Roosevelt and his policies. They
were preparing to vote once for
Gov. Hughes in the national con-
vention and after that to cast New
York S rs votes for whatever re-
dictionary candidate would make
the best terms. The action of Mr..
Taft knocks their little game on
the head. They are discredited.
Only the real Hughes people and
the Roosevelt people will be able
to go as delegates to the conven-
ton, and the professional politici-
ans of the Odell stripe are utterly
routed. There are some people
who are wondering if Mr.. Taft's
note is not saying in effect, You
states with favorite sons Just hold
your ground with your 7O+ votes,
all told, while | go out and capture
the other 704 votes in the conven-
ton.
1t is not surprising that Pres-
dent Roosevelt who has always
been an ardent advocate of tariff
reform, should be a little thinskin-
ned under the allegation of Sena-
tors Foraker, Dick, Gallinger and
and other of the gang who opposed
the Railway Rate bill, that he has
been using the federal patronage
to promote the nomination of Sec
rotary Taft, The President is
seriously contemplating issuing a
statement describing the circum-
stances under which he made every
appointment which has been sent
to the Senate since the political
game became interesting. Of
course the Senators are playing
politics" as hard as anybody, but
the President, while he realizes
that, dislikes the allegation just
the same.
Democrats throughout t h
country should not be too much
encouraged by the reports sent out
from Washington to the effect that
Senator Bailey has a financial bill
which he will offer as a substitute
for the Aldrich bill and that he is
seeking to have his measure
adopted by the Democratic caucus.
The truth is that Mr.. Bailey never
thought Of springing his bill until
there had appeared in the Texas
press some severe criticism of his
course in acquiescing so promptly
to the Aldrich measure, and even
now lie has not even formally in
troduced his measure, which by
the way, is All old one, into the
senate. Mr.. Bailey is talking
about the bill for political effect in
his own state, but 1t is safe guess
that he has no intention of
abandoning his loyalty to Aldrich
and his measure. As for caucus,
Bailey was one of those who did
most to prevent one, Mr.. Teller,
of Colorado, ably seconding his
efforts.
