Taft or Roosevelt, there were many who
believed that ii would be Taft and Roose-
yelt-that the latter, although no longer
the occupant of the White house, would
WELD the greatest political influence in
the land. But assurances were given to
the contrary. Mr.. Roosevelt. it was Wig
orously asserted, was really about to quit.
Now in the heat of the campaign the
president that is completely overshadows
the president that may be. and Wall
street gropes III the shadow. Derisive
laughter is the usual reply to the query
of the simple one who asks who viii be
the boss of the next administration if the
Republicans win at the polls. This does
not conduce to a happy frame of mind in
the financial, industrial or commercial
centers. and the fact affords at least par
tial explanation o. what has happened in
the market recently.
Another example of Roosevelt's in
reference which is causing internal
disorder in the Republican ranks is his
assumption of the role of dictator to
the party in general and the national
committee in particular. Hitchcock is
being bull;ed and bossed by the presi-
dent in the most offensive manner, the
Taft manager being compelled to
make trips to Washington and report
at the White House. The friends of
Mr.. Hitchcock are becoming resentful,
and one of them is quoted as saying:
Look at the different groups we have
had Quitting in right along. First of all
the president has constantly interfered
and then there is the Taft staff out at
Cincinnati. which seems to think it knows
a good deal more than Mr.. Hitchcock
about how to manage campaign, and
has constantly growled and complained
about the way the national chairman was
doing things
And then there is the congressional
campaign committee under the guidance
of Speaker Cannon working out of har-
mony with the national committee: criti-
cising MIR. Hitchcock, collecting money
where the national organization could not
get il by promising that the names of con-
tributors would not be made public even
after the election. No one will ever know
how much Mr.. Hitchcock has had to con-
tend with, because he is not the man to
complain. But he does feel that he has
not had a fair deal from the critics in
the party.
There is a world of information in
the last quotation. The Republican
congressional campaign committee is
frying the fat out of the protected in
terests by promising that the names of
contributors will not be made public.
The congressional committee hasn't
any sympathy for the national COM
mittee, and the election of stand-pat
members of congress is more import
ant to the infant" industries than the
election of Taft. Roosevelt seems to
have set everybody by the ears and
continues to charge up and down in
the Republican china shop.
While the spectacle is not edifying,
the Democrats can take comfort in the
fact that the election of Bryan seems
assured.

THE M ETAIS
Mr.. RoosEVELT's ACTION.

Mr.. Loeb says the president may or
may not take the stump for the Repub-
lican ticket, that no one knows what
the future will bring forth. Perhaps
Loeb is in doubt as to what will hap
pen, but it's more than an even bet
that Roosevelt viii be on the stump
and that he will run the campaign
from now on just as he has for the past
two weeks.
1t isn't pretty spectacle, this intru-
ton of the presidency into the cam
paign. Even the most radical partisan
has respect for the high office that
makes him wish it could be kept out of
the fight. The chief executive of the
nation has heretofore regarded it be-
meath the dignity of his office and alto
gether improper to enter personally
into a campaign. Roosevelt, however,
is not that kind of president; for him
to know that no president has ever
done it before him is enough to make
him want to scramble with the COM
mon herd. Besides, a man with his love
of the spot light could never be con-
tent to let another take the center Of
the stage even if cast for the stars
part.
Then, again, it is evident Roosevelt
sincerely believes the fate of the ticket
depends upon him; that he, and he
alone, can save Taft from defeat, and
that it is his duty to get into the game
and. as he himself says. ginger up the
campaign" Even if there were no
other ground for criticism, the proceed
ing is unfair TO Taft. Although he is
the candidate and supposed to be able
to speak for himself. he has so far
been Obscured and belittled by the
prominence of the president, that the
public barely knows he is running. In
deed. it is more than likely that a good
many Republicans would have diff
Guilty in telling whether Taft or Roose-
Welt is the candidate this year.
AS for the effect on the result, Roose-
velt's prominence certainly must be
harmful in the east. and it can hardly
be called a success in the west if one
may judge by present indications.
Bryan has kept Taft and Roosevelt
both on the defensive so successfully
and continuously that the trend of sem
timent has all been toward the Demo-
cratic candidate and away from Taft.
If Roosevelt takes the stump it ought
to make Bryan's chances even better.

THE ONLY MAN WHO WOULD
TRUST FAIRBANKS rs DEAD

Delaware, o., March 30. The one
man in Delaware who would trust
Vice President Fairbanks for a pair OF
trousers when Fairbanks was a stud
ent here in the '70s, Is dead. lie
was E. Il. Jones, who for ftty-live
years conducted a clothing business
I'm the same storero0m.
Fairbanks had ruined in a ball
game the only pair of jeans he owned
and was ''strapped" ut the time. He
went to two stores TO get new pair,
but the merchants would not trust
him. He then tried Jones and got the
trousers.
From that day the vice president
never came to Delaware without maxi
ing Jones visit.
