An Approaching Presidential Elec-
ton.

There Is always widespread interest in
the election of a President of the United
States. This is high Office, and should
be filed by man of the highest type of
character; man of the broadest intellec-
tual powers, and man who has had wide
experience in public affairs.
In this country, representative govern
ment is being tried upon scale such as
the world has never known, and it is to
the credit of the American people, that
they have usually made suitable selection
for the high Office of President.
At this time the people of the country
are observing with keen interest the moves
upon the political chess board, that will
determine the candidacy Of the respective
parties for the Presidency.
MIR. Roosevelt has been playing politics
in his Office until some of the strong men
of his own party are in open revolt. He
has ostensibly gone out Of the Presidential
race himself, but still aims, as he has done
since he has been in the White House, to
dominate his party.
And so it is charged he is making every
effort and using the patronage OF his great
Office to further the candidacy of Secretary
Taft, whose cause he is charged with
championing.
So grave have been these charges against
the President, that he has felt himself
called upon to come out in public letter
denouncing the whole business as false,
and putting Senator Foraker and Senator
Dick, and the whole tribe Of his political
kinsmen who are now against him, in the
front ranks of the ''Annanias Club.
And yet Senator Foraker, of Ohio, in
open senate, comes back at him with doc
umentary proof, that he has used the pa
tronage of his office, in the State of Ohio,
to further the candidacy Of Secretary Taft.
The country is evidently ready for a
change of administration, and it becomes
the Democrats to act wisely in selecting a
Presidential candidate; one whose record
will not have to be explained and defended,
but man whose democracy is of that type
that the people Of the country will con6de
in him aud rally to his standard. We
have number of such men.
Let us try an old fashioned Democrat
once more;a man with no political vagaries.
Let us as a party enquire for the old
paths and walk therein Then we shall
see genuine Democrat, such as we have
had before, elevated to the high office OF
President, and the country blest with his
administration.

His Friends Plan Active Fight in the
Convention.
CINCINNATI, Feb. 12.-Leading Dem
ocrats of Cincinnati and Hamilton county,
who are devising plans whereby Judson
Harmon may obtain the Democratic NOM
ination for the Presidency, have deter
mined, after consulting with Mr. Harmon,
not to make an energetic canvass or fight
for delegates, but will insist that Ohio
Democratic delegates be sent uninstructed
to the national convention in Denver.
It is said that they held that if the del
egates are uninstructed, under well
aged campaign in the convention, the
warning factions of the Democratic party
will unite and support Harmon.
The same kind of a campaign will be
carried on in every State Of the Union.
The decision of the Harmon followers to
insist that uninstrscted delegates be sent
to the national convention is considered by
politicians to be shrewd move upon their
part. It is also said to be an admission
that they fear fight with the Bryan
forces in Ohio and many other States.

CONFLICT IN BIG GAMES.
Army-Ndcy Football Contest Nay
Be Played G Week Earlier.

There is a strong probability that the Army
Navy football game will be played a week ear
Tier than usual this year and thus conflict with
the Yale Harvard game at New Haven. West
Point mas opened negotiations with Annapolis
to this end. Offering two good reasons for the
change
The first has to do with the game as now
played being too close to an examination period
at West Point; the second. with the weather.
The Army men contend that Annapolis has a
distinct advantage in the latter respect on ac-
count Of being far South. II is pointed out
that snow and frozen ground made It Impossible
for the West Point players to get out in the field
more than once in the last ten days befor" the
game last fall. and the same handicap has been
experienced in other years. This was partly
responsible, il is thought, for the Army's poor
showing.
The Nays chief objection TO an earlier date
lies in the fact that the annual cruise is not
over until the middle of September and conse-
ouently the Army team begin work much
earlier To meet this. West Point will agree
to delay practice to a date when Annapolis can
start in to build up a team
