THE MOST POPLAR MAN.

what figure" asks Golfers
Weekly, gave zest to the campaign
four years since? Struggle as they
might, the supporters of Parker
could not touch the popular magma
ton. Bryan, Hearst and various
other figures aroused some curiosity,
or exercised some attraction, but the
only very large and persistent atten-
ton was monopolized by one man.
and that man was Roosevelt. Who
wfli hold during the present summer
and the approaching autumn that
place of interest? At whose name
will ears prick up and hearers cease
from being bored? Taft, who has
behind him. the best record and the
soundest arguments of the candi-
dates, may develop personal vivid
ness, charm. or other compelling
quality. or he may not. Bryan has
the orators appeal and the attraction
of being for many the faithful leader
OF a lost, lamented cause. but many
also hear his name with something
halfway bttNtth Mtdiint anu
resignation. Debs and Watson will
interest only their own crowds.
Hearst can no more be forgotten than
can. the hammering OF nails in one s
immediate vicinity. but. for the gen.
eral public, We fancy his interest is
|subsiding. The one man who, what
ever part he takes in the campaign,
or whatever he does outside OF It. is
sure to have the pubhc's willing ear
is Theodore Roosevelt-scarcely less,
indeed, than II he were candidate.
Everybody takes an interest In the
president. The amount he Is liked IS
great, but the amount and expect
ancy and welcome are greater still.
He galvanizes the phlegmatic. He
stirs the sleepy. He stimulates the
intelligent and the dull. He fur
nishes to millions recreation as well
as confidence. The pleasant thing
about his popularity, many-sided and
extraordinary. is that. by the quality
of the man, and by thirty years OF
sound and useful work. his vogue has
been deserved"

BRYAN DECLINES TO BE
WORKED.

Mr.. Bryan has repudiated the
scheme of some OF his workers TO
make II appear that Bryan denounced
Roosevelt's action in the Browns
vile affair. Mr.. Bryan could not
have afforded to ALLEVIATE his south
ern constituency in that way, espe-
cially In Georgia. where Populism is
strong. and, besides, Bryan had edi-
torially commended Roosevelt in the
Commoner These seem to be, not so
much fool friends of Mr.. Bryan. as
designing friends" who are exploit
ing his candidacy for their local
snds. Some middle west politicians
hoped to ALLEVIATE the colored vote in
close Republican districts. New York
openly endeavored 10 frame a ma
tional platform in the interest OF
Tammany. Pacific coast politicians,
IN spite OF the anti-imperialistic decla-
ration, secured a plank favoring an
other big fleet. and politicians In
Chicago and st. Louis won an in

GoMPERs' INSULT TO LABOR

|GoMPERs' INSULT TO LABOR
President Lewis, of the United
Mine Workers of America, already
has notified Samuel Gompers that he
need not presume on delivering the
vote of the miners 10 his political
allies, as the members of the union
are quite as capable of thinking for
themselves and performing the duties
of citizenship as Mr.. Gompers is for
them. When members OF trades
unions deliver their rights of citizen
ship into the hands of their leaders
and surrender their suffrage to any
federation, they are pledging their
liberties as a political pawn and
tempting their leaders with a power
that has caused empires to crash. A

OFFERS SERVICES
TO ROOSEVELT ON
HIS HUNTING TRIP

New York.-Henri Gauliard. a for
mer Official OF the French govern
ment, has written toi Secretary Loeb
lettering his services 60 President
Roosevelt as guide on the huntln :
"trip he has planned In Africa after
his retirement from the White House
Mr.. Gau.iard during his stay In the
French colonies. was himself some
thing OF a Nlmrod. He shot seven
Elephants and many hlppopolami. a.
though he modestiy disclalms any
great proves. and speaks gently OF
hungry eannibals who prefer white
men to feast on.
After leaving the French govern,
ment service he travelled arond the
word in the search OF health. and
is now in the employ OF the Chateau
des Beaux Arts at Huntington. L. |.
In his letter to Secretary Loeb he de-
scribes himself as follows:

mus. and elephant In 1906 n

The letter concludes with a prom
lse to be loyal in the service of the
president and the declaration that he
would be ready to embark at twenty
four hours notice.
Discussing the prospects for sport
in the French Congo. Mr.. Gaullard
was little dubious today as to the
, enjoyment the president will get out
of II. Asked for the reason OF these
views. he said:
"Ah, well, he will have to wear a.
big hat-what do you call IL? The
