Speaking Of politics, the Democratic
party in the Senate finds itself in a pecu-
liar position as a result OF Mr.. Culber-
sons resignation from the somewhat
thankless post OF minority leader. II was
supposed that Senator Money would be
only too glad 20 be chosen in place Of the
Texas statesman. but Mr.. Money declares
that he does not want the honor. that he
will go out Of the Senate az the end OF
this Congress. and that he does not care
to assume the burden Friends Of Sena-
tor Bailey have approached him on the
subject. but he. too processes a disin-
clination 10 accept the responsibility. In
so doing he is perhaps, wise. as Mr..
Baileys choleric temper has won for him
many enemies. and even could he secure
election ne would encounter many embar-
easements Senator Bacon. OF Georgia is
being discussed as a possible leader this
evening. as is also Senator Martin. of
Virginia. Mr.. Martin. however. is in
Europe and the date Of his return is un-
certain He IL not an easy or effective
speaker. but he is reputed TO be a capable
politician. He is. in fact, the Aldrich OF
the Old Dominion.

The Democrats in the Senate. who have
few patronage plums at their disposal. have
one this year. and are as excited over II as
il they were called on TO choose a pre-
siding Officer. They Will enjoy the oppor-
tunity OF naming a new assistant door
keeper Of the Senate who is in reality the
pair clerk. There are three active candi-
dates I'm the field. and controversy is
being waged in behalf OF each which. so
far at least. exceeds IN intensity and in
terest the discussion Of the probable minor
ity leader. The Democratic Senators pur-
pose TO hold a caucus tomorrow, at which
they hope 10 agree on a leader and also 10
choose their new assistant doorkeeper.

Washington. Dec. 5-Everything Is in
readiness for the meeting OF Congress
which convenes al noon tomorrow. Most OF
The helated members OF both houses arrived
IN Washington to-day. and a number visited
their rooms in the House and Senate ONCE
buildings. although as usual on Sunday the
capitol was closed to visitors. The Presi-
dents message has been distributed by the
several press associations, as has been the
table OF estimates prepared under the
supervision Of the Secretary OF the Treas
ury President Taft. worn out with the I'M
usual labors of the last week, remained
quietly In the White House all day. taking
advantage OF the Sunday lull. which will
be followed by greater demands than ever
on his time, beginning tomorrow morning.
President Taft is not politician. This Is
the frank assertion OF many members OF
his own party. some Of whom assert their
opinion with some degree Of disappoint-
ment. while others believe that when that
fact dawns on the people il will greatly
strengthen the present Executive I'm their
estimation. Political considerations do not
appeal to President Taft" declared very
close friend of the President recently, and
he spoke truly. Many Of the politicians In
the party have suspected this was the case
because Of the Presidents course in select
ing his Cabinet and other officials. and
especially the census supervisors. He has
not only insisted on merit in the men rec
commended 10 him. but he has gone even
further, and In number Of instances has
chosen supervisors without regard 10 the
recommendations OF Senators and Repre-
sentstives. and even without regard 70
their political influence. or lack Of IL. So.
too, in the case Of diplomatic. judicial and
other appointments. there is no ground of
criticism OF the men appointed, except that
they are without political influence and
can do nothing to strengthen the party or
ganiZatiOn.

ROLLER TO BE A FIGHTER.
Big Seattle Doctor Believes He Has
Bright Future.

New York Dec 28.-Apropos OF the
"All- Champion troupe" is the statement
of DR.. B. F. Roller, one of the wres-
thing members; that he will very short
ly take UP the ring game. Roller re-
Gently declared that as soon as the
SHOW" disbanded at Los Angeles he
would start for New York, engaging in
a few wrestling bouts en- route. 1t
is reported that the far coast physician
will map out his ring campaign while
in this city. He is after a bout with
Jack O'Brien.
Speaking of his plans, Roller said:
Tive beaten every wrestler in the
country except Gotch. and know 1t Is
futile for me to try to trim him. One
thing though, I stayed seventy -four
minutes with Gotch, which is better
than any other man has done since
Frank became champion There does
not seem to be anything more for me
In wrestling, and If the men should
know scrapping material when they
see it may be believed, there does
seem to be something for me in fight
ing. So I'm off for the ring"

KAUFMAN WOULD
Fight The winner

AL Kaufman. the California heavy
weight, who is now in Philadelphia, Is
the first man to challenge the winner
of the James J. Jeffries VS.. Jack john
son fight, and Kaufman will post his
money with Big Tim Sullivan, who
holds the stakes for the championship
bout between the Texan and the AL
falfa farmer.
Kaufman is the protege of Billy De-
laney. the man who tutored Jim Cor
bett and James ]. Jeffries. and while
Delaney would only agree a few months
ago to a limited bout with his pupil
matched with the champion, now De-
laney is willing to allow his entry TO
meet Johnson In finish fight and the
purse to be cut winner take all. De-
laney is In the west and Kaufman is

fries bout and l don't want any long

Kaufman is a slow starter, accord
ing to the fight dope, but he gets go
ing better all the time, so much so, in
fact, that Delaney does not care to
have him step into any of the short
bouts. His last bout with Jim Barry
proved that AL was one of the tough
est and gamest men in the country and
that he is improving all the time, and
may, after all, win the world cham
pionship from the man who annexes 1t
in July of 1910.

"HAcK" AFTER eoTcH.
Russian Lion Sends Out Stories From
Far OFF South Africa.

~ ~h SNN1N FNft'@9s
George Hackenschmidt, former
worlds champion wrestler, who lost
the title to Frank Gotch in Chicago
nearly two years ago, has turned up
in South Africa. having left England
a few months ago. In an interview
Mr.. Hackenschmidt stated that he ex-
pected to meet Frank Gotch in Mel
bourne, Australia, about next April,
and that Gotch had refused to sing ar
ticles unless the purse of $25, 900 was
divided equally between them. If
Hackenschmidt gave out the interview
as stated above, he must have been
laboring under a misrepresentation, for
when the match was preached last fall
Gotch stated at that time that he pre-
ferred a winners and losers end, al
though he would have entered into the
contest IL guaranteed a certain sum.
The chances are that Hackenschmidt
would be just as anxious to have the
purse split in two as Gotch, but It is
not likely they will meet at the time
indicated, as Gotch is tied up for some
weeks now with theatrical engage
ments, and could hardly make the trip
to Australia and get into condition for
the match at that time. If the two
boys meet, 1t will, no doubt, be in
the United States or England. Accord
ing to all reports, Hackenschmidt is
in better shape now, in fact, much bet
ter condition than when he met Gotch
in Chicago. and IL this is true a con-
test between them would be more in
teresting now than when they met for
the championship. Gotch is touring
the country at present with the Jeffries
combination and meeting all corners.
