Perhaps there will not be SO much
talk about bad Democrats of New
York and the country in general, now
that the Republican party Of New
York has discovered some bad men
in its own ranks" remarked Bird s.
Color, former president Of the bor-
ough Of Brooklyn and once candidate
for governor Of the state against
Odell. ~,
"The investigation now in progress
in Albany doubtless will have it's eff.
feet on the party" continued Mr..
Coler. 81 believe the conditions in
New York are highly favorable to q
Democratic victory in the next guber-
Material election, There is evident q
disposition among the Democrats to
get together, and. II they do then the
Republicans will have a hard fight on
their hands. There is no use denying
that the Hearst faction of the Demo-
cratic party is strong. 1t is, and II
will have a big influence. think
the administration of Judge Gaynor
will go down in the history of New
York as one of the best, If not the
best, the city ever had. It will have
not only lasting influence on New
York, but it will be national in it's
influence. People all over the coun-
try are beginning to pay more atten-
ton to politics, and the voters there
fore have more to say about elections
than they ever had before. have
no idea who will be the nominee of
the Democrats for governor. but be-
lieve the candidate. whoever he may
he, will be nominated largely by rea-
son of the sentiment back of the con-
vention. and not by the dictation of
the party leaders.
1T is difficult to say whether Gov
ernor Hughes can be induced by the
Republicans to run again. no matter
how great might be the demand. |
don't believe he can be elected, al
though he Is stronger than his party.
The prospects are exceedingly bright
for Democratic success, not only in
the state election, but in the congress
sional election. l believe we shall
gain Democratic congressman all over
the state Of New York. and that the
next house will be Democratic. We
should elect every Democratic con-
gresham in the borough Of Brooklyn,
with the possible exception of the dis
trict now represented by Mr.. Calder.
"Will Judge Gaynor be a candidate
for the presidency? I am sure l do
not know. My opinion now is that
Governor Harmon of Ohio will be
nominated, and elected"
My only regret in leaving congress
is that l cannot be here now to lend
my support to Uncle Joe,'" said for
mer Representative Beman G.. Dawes
of Marietta, Ohio.
There's nothing wrong with Speak
err Cannon or the rules. He is all
right, and if the Ohio boys are against
Cannon, then-well. I'm not with 'em.
AS long as served in the house I
found the speaker one of the fairest
and most honest men l ever knew.
1t is a shame to abuse him now as
some people are doing.
Politics has not concerned ME any
since l left Washington" added Mr.
Dawes. Il really don't know any,
thing about the situation in Ohio or
anywhere else. did hear when l
was back there that the Republicans
were confident of winning the next
election"
Mr.. Dawes has spent the greater
part of his time since he left con-
gress in Louisiana where he has
large interests.
The boil weevil has been of more
interest to the people in the cotton
section of Louisiana than has poll
tics" said Mr.. Dawes. 1T has caused
a lot Of damage. and If the members
of congress knew the extent of the
damage done by this pest they would
not have hesitated to increase the APP
preparation to exterminate it. Doubt
less their refusal was due to the be-
lief that SO far all experiments have
availed little. have seen whole fields
of cotton that ordinarily would have
yielded a bale and half of cotton to
the acre almost denuded of bolls
Here and there one could see boil.
In the cotton section of Louisiana the
weevil is not causing quite so much
damage as> it did. The insect ap-
pears to have crossed the river some
time ago and is now making it's way
to the more easterly states. don't
know what it might do if it reached
the Atlantic but everybody down there
hopes it will be lost in the ocean,"
With three candidates for the
United States senate residing in King
county, and two other candidates in
other parts of the state. the contest
for the seat now occupied by Senator
Piles is exceedingly uncertain" said
]. E. Chilberg. banker of Seattle.
and president of the Seattle EXPOSE
ton.
IF all these candidates go into the
primary, it seems Il sure thing that
no one of them could secure a ma
iority vote, and | doubt if the legis-
lature of Washington would feel
Obliged to elect the man getting
on, ino1inod IN l>oHo,,o
