Developments Of the Week
Make Both Nominations
Practically Certain.
REAcTI0NARlEs ROUTED.
Walter WelIman Says the Over
Whelming Strength of Taft
Has Surprised Them.
tBy Walter wellman., ,

WASHINGTON. d. c., Mar. 1s.-
That Taft and Bryan are to be the
rival candidates for the presidency
this year is unmistakably indicated
by the political events OF the i last
week. These events have been unu-
sually interesting and important. on
the Republican side the Ohio Repub-
licans have launched their candidate
with unanimity and enthusiasm. AS
had been predicted by those who
knew the situation in that state, the
entire representation in the state
convention was for Taft and the en-
tire delegation to the nation
al convention is for Taft. All
Foraker has to show for his cam
paign, waged with great bitterness
and activity, is pair of contestfng
delegates from one district. Both
Senator'S Foraker and Dick have
been completely eliminated from pol
tics in Ohio so far as the future is
concerned. The friends OF Taft have
complete control Of the organization.
with public sentiment running all
their way.
Not only have the Republicans
launched their. candidate in impress
sive fashion. but they have boldly
taken the lead as to future policies
by announcing their desires, with the
approval Of ther candidate and OF the
present president, for tariff revision
and also for reduction of representa-
ton in congress and in the electoral
college for those Southern states
which have disfranchised the negro
voter.
Everywhere in the country the Taft
movement has gained strength during
the week, the actual development
surprising no one who had taken the
trouble to ascertain the trend of pub
lie sentiment But the anti-adminis-
tration, anti-Taft coterie in the senate
and house here at Washington have
been much surprised. They had
talked SO much with one another
as to the weakness of the Taft
movement" and "the impossibility of
his nomination" and knew so little
of what is actually going on in the

country. that they had really come 20
pin faith to their own mutual NUT
terings. But as reports from state
after state have come in. and always
of the selection OF Taft delegates,
generally with instructions. even this
congressional coterie have at last
found 1t necessary to open their eyes.
They do not yet give 1t up. They
read the news. look glum, then take
a hitch In their nerves and say:
well, Taft can't be nominated,
just the same" But they can't tell
where the votes are coming from to
beat him. They can't name the man.
who. in their opinion, Is strong
enough to get the nomination away
from him.
The man in the White House is all
smiles. A week ago he thought Taft
would be nominated on the first ball
lot. Now he thinks ballot will not
be necessary and that the nomination
viii be made by reclamation. 1t Is
a curious fact that the one man in
TIE country who could get the nomin-
alton away from is himself working
for Taft and is sure that Taft will
win out, hands down.
1t is noteworthy, too. that every
Republican convention passes resolu-
tons of most enthusiastic approval of
the Roosevelt administration and of
Its policies. AS this goes on, even
states that have favorite son candi-
dates. perhaps the gentlemen insWall
street and in the capitol will at least
realize that the great masses of the
people of all political parties are with
the administration and against every
one that is not for the administration.
1t takes some people an awful long
time to see an obvious fact.

A HOT TIME IN r

Governor Hoke Smith will soon start
his campaign for a denomination. This
time he won't have Tom Watson and
his twenty-five thousand populists to
help him out in the primary election
as he had at the time of his former
candidacy. After the primaries were
over MI. Smith said that he had no
need of the Watson forces. That made
the populist leader mad; so this time
he is going to throw all his strength
to the aid Of Mr.. Brown, who will be
Mr.. Smiths opponent. The former
was a state corporation commissioner
n was bounced by the governor just
before the expiration of his term. OF
course there is no good feeling be-
tween the Two, and this fact, coupled
with the further one that MI. Watson
feels agrieved at the governors slight
ing remarks about the value of the
support Of the poprlists in the former
contest presages a campaign hotter
Than the other. If such a thing can be
POSSIBLE.

claimed:

Small Cannot Be Spared

Considerable surprise and no little
regret is being manifested by the pa
pers Of the state, that opposition has
developed to the reelection of Con-
gresham Small. The candidate TO
try for the seat is Mir. VIM. H. Bond.
of Hartford, who, according TO the
Kinston Free Press lis an able law
yer and a very excellent gentlemen"
That may be true but he lacks the expe
rience in congress and is an untried
experiment.
The Free Press very freely expresses
the prevailing sentiment when it says
that his return TO congress lis an af-
fair not only Of the democrats Of the
first district, but of the east and in
deed of the whole state" His services
are needed there in the prosecution
OF the work on the great inland water
way, a work in which he has rendered
such conspiciously effective aid
He cannot be spared from congress
at this stage in his career. Nothing
would please US better than to see Mr..
Bond eventually ONE around TO this
sensible conclusion Charlotte Chron-
icle.
