the politician who assumes to lead.
e. r. Cheesborough, then, is the
boss of Galveston. All the politics
of the commission form of govern
ment are done by him. There are
no regular parties in Galveston S
municipal campaign. Therefore
there are no party organizations.
The nearest thing to an Organiza-
ton is the loose confederation of
the voters embraced in the City
club. There are no dues, no list Of
membership, no home, no corpora
ton, no funds connected with this
club And yet it Is a power. 1t
comes as near as anything to being
the party organization" in Calves
tons degime. Carrying out the
parallel, e. r. Cheesborough is po-
litically the chairman of the city
central committee of the in-power
party. The outs get together and
organize sporadically; but they
have no public sentiment, as yet,
behind them, and they have not
been able to muster 20 per cent of
the city's vote in protest.
Like all wise bosses, e. r. Chees-
borough avoids the center of the
stage. His name is crowded into a
corner of the circular which he
writes. Or very likely it does not
appear at all. The other man may
have the office. The other man
may face the crowd. The other
man may have his picture in the
papers. Mr.. Cheesborough prefers
to stay behind the scenes. He does
his work apparently because he
loves to do it. He is a serious
minded man. And Galveston is for
tunate in having such a boss.

Reported That secretary of Treasury Is the Lkolee of aio0sevelt for seceau AsAaec ak tugneA
 In .Elimfna-ed.

Washington, June 9--tndications are multiplying that secretary Cortelyou will be aovised by the Roosevelt anu Taft forces at Chicago as thelr candl- date for Vice President.
 Secretary CJfte.yVu Aimseif natural ly declined to discuss the matter Of his candidacy for the very suiaclent reason tAat nis native State already has In the iieId a possible candidate for the Pfesluency m the person of Governor Liugnes. That tact mas so far opefat- sa ao preven. any open exchanges De- tween the friends ot secretary Cortei- you ana secretary TaIts managers.
 But 1t can be stated as q fact that in in opinion or ms frlenas, tne lime has come when Secretary Cortelyou should be placed in a position to Dc recognized as New York's candidate tor the Wee Presidency in the event of the eitnina- ton el Hughes from the Presidential race.
 AS another step to successful cam paign in that direction there had hrst 70 be aseefta4ns0 tns attituds that President tto~sevelt aDd Seefe sary Tart would assume toward Secretary cortelyouss candidacy. tns Secretary himself has dsciinsd to make any move tn the matter, but ms friends have not felt restrained by that fact and already they teel that they nave received sucn encouragement that they are now pre- pairing to move in force upon the con- ventiOn delegates at Chicago.
 One reason for their confidence Is asserted to be their belief that by strenuous opposition offered by the ralrpdnks contingent to the recogpt- ton Of Southern Taft delegates in the battle before the National Committee in progress, the coupling of the names Of rafI and kairbanks or Of Roosevelt and Fairbanks on one ticket has be- come impossible.
 Therefore. tomorrow Secretary Cor telyou's advance guard starts for Chi cago, led by Assistant Secertary Louis Coolidge A BosronIan of long exper- fence in public affairs and wide ac- quaintance.
 Cornelius N Bliss ,one-time member of McKinley's cabinet. and Treasurer of the last Republican Campaign Com mittee. is also said to be bound for Chicago in Secretary Corteiyou's inter est. wniie among other political lead CTS expected to espouse his cause Is said to be Senator Murray Crane, of Massachusetts. whose support Is more anxiously desired by the administra- ton forces.
