Washington, May 3l.-(SpeciaD-
In the New willard Hotel the other
day sat two republican politicians
of Ohio. 1t is fair to say that both
were inclined to the Foraker side
OF the political fight in the Buckeye
state. Both were old friends Of Nc
Kinley and Of Mark Hanna.
Said one, 1T is a curious thing
about this man in the white house
that he has only twice mentioned
McKinley's name since he became
president. In none OF his speeches
does he eulogize Mckinley and the
only time at which he gave prom
inence to his devotion to Mckinley
was Immediately after tie assassi-
nation when he promised to carry
out the Mckinley policles-a promise
which the country has an opportu-
nifty to see emphatically broken. As
for Mark Hanna. Mr.. Roosevelt never
publicly mentions him"
The other Ohioan said, laughingly,
1T seems TO be habit for him
10 forget the great men who have
proceeded him Any presidetn who
could make a speech on the battle
field OF Antiotam and neglect TO say
proceeded him. Any president who
Mcclellan. showed himself either ig-
norant of the history of his country
or else unwilling TO allow any lustre,
even that OF dead soldier, to dim
that of a living talker."
That seems to be the present opln-
ion Of a good many republicans
In Washington today. And yet most
Of them still believe that at the
last moment a sudden movement for
Roosevelt will stampede their con
vcntlon and nominate the man whom
| they all dislike.

Governor Johnson's Progress.


The latest news OF Governor John
sons pilgrimage through the south
comes from Birmingham, Ala. His
press agent there was astonished and
encouraged by the fact that a gen
tleman referred to as the Bryan lead
er In that state actually called upon
him. That is a habit Of Mr.. Bryan's
friends who are seeking harmony
and cooperation rather than express
ing hostile and abusive views. The
same press agent finds much encour-
agement in the fact that almost thirty
per cent OF the democratic votes In
Alabama were cast for Governor Gov
ernor Johnson. one reflects that II
takes more than thirty per cent OF
the votes in the nation TO elect
a president. In Virginia the eminent
Minnesotan was not quite so fortu-
nate. II appears that he went to
Of cotton growers and II is fair to say
that a lifelong residence in Mime
sofa does not give very accurate
knowledge Of growing cotton to the
gentleman who has enjoyed 1t. 1t is
not his fault that a Richmond paper
gave two columns To pointing out
how far Governor johnson fell behind
other national democratic speakers
who have been there That he read
his speech seemed TO discourage his
hearers and the Richmond Journal
says that the body Of II was sta
tistics-cotton statistics intended for
the cotton men who had invited him
hither. and although they were sig.
nificant, they threw nobody into
spasms OF enthusiasm"
II Is becoming Increasingly appa-
rent that in order TO have exact
! knowledge of the tremendous en-
/ thusiasm OF the south for the Min
nesota candidate. II Is wise occa-
sionally to consult a southern news
paper. The small army Of correspond
ents Of northern papers who are ac-
companying him on his southern
trip are evidently writing, not for
the information Of the subscribers
Of their newspapers, but according
10 the instructions of their en-
ployers.

Taft, Bryan and Publicity.

No doubt the telegraphic CORE
spondcnce which passed between Mr..
Bryan and Secretary Taft with refer
cnce to the passage OF the publicity
bill so.cllled, or more technically the
Mccall bill. has been given wide
publication already Enough now to
say that Mr.. Bryan invited Secre-
tary Taft to join him In urging the
passage Of such legislation Secretary
Taft has responded by publishing a
letter which he sent to Senator Bur
rows on the 3Oth of last April, urg.
ing the passage of a bill. though he
does not identify IT by name. In
specifying the fact that he does
not Identify II, no charge is made
to disnEenousness on his part. But
there is nothing in his answer 10 Mr..
on the absolutely vital priuclple that
the publication of the names o; con
tributers to campaigns, and the
maounts of their contributions should
be made before and not after the
election. We have In many states pub
licity laws and corrupt practice laws,
but the weakness In almost every in.
stance is that before publication of
the facts is made the election is over
and the beneficiary has profited
equally by the contributions, per
haps, or by the corrupt practices Mr.
Taft has not made it entirely clear
whether he stands for the prelimi.
nay publication.
At the first meeting of the com
mittce on election of president and
vice president which was held fully
three months ago. Mr.. Bryan ap-
poarcd and spoke at length in sup.
port of the Mccall bill. MIR. Perry
Belmont who has pocn earnest in
advocacy OF the publicity idea also
spoke. But Secretary Taft, who may
have been converted later and who
IL is entirely possible may have
been some thousands of miles away
from Washington did not appear. In
fact during the hearings of the com
mittee the only man whose name is
is now used as a possible presiden-
tial candidate who addressed II was
Mr. Bryan.
Nevertheless, It is altogether prob
able that no man will welcome the
adhesion of Secretary Taft To a
measure which will make for honesty
in politics, and which has been urg
ed by democrats in state and in ma
ton for many years, more quickly
or more earnestly than will Mr.
Bryan. II is fair to point out that
one of the hardest workers for the
Mccall bin has been a republican,

MARR|ES OLD LOVE-
Especial Correspondence

Spokane, Oct 26.-This is one of
those rare stories of woman s
heart remaining true to her first love
and of the thoughts of a widower,
wealthy and lonely, turning back to
the object of his youthful affection.
The result was the marriage of Miss
Mary Oswalt of Chicago and L. A.
Brockway of Rosalin, Wash, at the
home of the groom. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. F. N. Smith,
of the Congregational church.
Brockway was learning the furni-
ture business at Vicksburg, Miss.
late in the SOS when he met Miss
Oswalt, a graduate nurse, fresh from
northern hospital, who was in the
south to minister to the sick fol-
lowing the yellow fever epidemic.
She had occasion to nurse young
Brockway, who was suffering from
aro,her ailment; she brought lin
successfully through the illness, and
he asked her to marry him. He be-
came innoculated with the western
fever and came to Spokane, going
hence to Rosalie, south of here,
where he opened a store. Gradually
he and the nurse drifted apart, and
a few years later he gave another
woman his name. Mrs. Brockway
died two years ago, leaving her hus-
band and a four-year-old child.
Through friends at Vicksburg,
Brockway learned that Miss Oswald
was still single, and, after obtaining
her address, he opened a correspon-
dence.
Miss Oswalt, who was living in
Chicago, came west and the wedding
followed.
