ROOSEVELT m 1912.

:
1t looks like Roosevelt expected
to be a candidate in 1912. Some
Of his enthusiastic friends have
been talking about him but there
was nothing to support their pro-
prophesies until the confidential
friends, who visited him after the
turn down for chairman, announc-
ed that he will be candidate only
if it is necessary to do so in order
to carry out CHS policies. That
means THAT he is not satisfied with
the administration and expects to
contest the nomination two years
hence. That means fun. And
how will he set forth, specifically,
the policies which he regards as
his 1t will be interesting to know
what policies he regards as of such
vital Importance as to justify him
In violating the precedent OF a
century. Are there any good pol
icies that a democratic victory
would not protectY' remarks
Mr.. Bryan's Commoner.
It is evident that Mr.. Roosevelt
expects to be a candidate for the
Presidency two years hence, but
the result of the factional fight
that is now being waged against
him in New York State may up
set his calculations. OF course
there are no good policies that a
democratic victory would not
protect and if the people are to
have a hand in the administers
ton of public affairs at all, such
a condition can come only through
democratic ascendency. e

Colonel Roosevelt may keep
hands off in the New York situa-

enter the ring and clean up the en-

If the "old guard" should win
out in the New York state conven-

instead of Teddy Roosevelt for
the republican presidential nomi-
nation in 1912. Mr.. Sherman
finds little glory in being Vice
President and naturally wants to
90 up higher.

THE POLITICAL TREND.

The signs of the time" all
point to a sweeping Democratic
victory in November and such a
result is certain to be realized if
the insurgent movement continues
to spread and stand-pat Repubi-
cans persist in standing pat. A
reform wave is sweeping over the
country at double-qnick speed
and Republican leaders are
amazed. Even Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt has gone out on the war
path talking progressiveness, !"
In an effort to save the day. But
whether the abuse of bosSis1n and
his talk of reforming the old
crowd of trust adherents will APP
pease the wrath of the progressive
element of the party remains to
be seen. As matters now stand
the Republican party is rapidly
going to pieces and as the New
York World aptly puts it:
The size of the Democratic vic
tory that will be announced on the
morning of November 9Th next
will be staggering. twill include
an overwhelming majority in the
House of Representatives and
gain of many United States Sena-
tors. Ohio, the Presidents own
state, will be lost to the Republi-
cans. New York, the state Of the
ex-President, will be sweepingly
Democratic. Majorities will be
so large that people will tire Of
computing them.
Not through Democratic virtues
an liabilities but in spite Of Demo
cratic blunders and wea nesses
are those things to come shout !;

Gratis than Republicans but be-
cause there are more American
progressives than stand-patters !;

BRYAN AND NEBRAsKA.l

Recently the news was heralded
from Maine to California and from
New Orleans to Winnipeg that the
democratic state convention of Ne
braska had administered a crush
ing defeat to Hon. William Jen-
nings Bryan because it refused to
endorse the county option plan,
advocated by him as the best solu-
ton of the liquor question in that
commonwealth. However, the
matter appears to have been exag-
gerated, the fact being very clear
that Mr.. Bryan's personality did
not enter into the controversy at
all and that gentleman thinks the
action of the republicans and popu-
lists in declaring for county OPP
ton indicates the passage of a bill
favorable to such conclusion. 1t
is pointed out also that Mr.. Bry-
ans real purpose In advocating
county option is to secure the sub
mission Of the initiative and refer
endum and the actions of ma
jority of the political conventions
recently held in Nebraska point to
the result desired by him.
Commenting upon the result of
the democratic convention of his
state Mr.. Bryan's paper, the Com
mener, says:
The Nebraska democratic state
convention refused, by a vote of
CAT to 1913, to endorse county OPP
ton and this has been heralded
over the country as defeat for
Mr.. Bryan. Let all the facts be
known: About May l Mr.. Bryan
urged the calling of a special SEES
sion of the legislature to submit
the initiative and referendum. He
stated that by the submission of
the initiative and referendum the
county could be postponed for two
years. He failed to secure the
special session. Then he announc-
ed himself in favor of an endorse
men of the county option as the
only way to break the hold of the
Ii iuor interests and insure the
submission of the iniative and re-
ferendum.
AS a result of his fight the re-
publicans endorsed the initiative
and referendum, thus making it
certain that it will be submitted at
the coming session of the legisla-
ture (the democrats and populists
also have endorsed it). This is a
victory for the reform for which
he has commended for fourteen
years. He can afford to be turned
down on county option if he can
make sure of the initiative and re-
erendum-
But the democratic convention
defeated, by a vote of 638 to 202
a plank declaring against county
option and Governor Shallenber-
ger announced at the convention
that he would sign a county OPP
ton bill. Since the republicans
and pobulists have declared for
county option and the democrats
1--we refused to declare against It
the chances are largely in favor of
the passage of county option bill.
It win be seen therefore, that Mr..
Bryan has reason to rejoice ever
the progress made in Nebraska. It
little what is done to him;
he can be happy SO long as the
things he is fighting for win-and
they are winning in Nebraska says

AMERICAN SHIPS PREFERRED
These Will Now Transport Coat Fer
NAVY Department

The Navy Department has awarded
contracts for transporting 81, 900 tons
of coal from Norfolk to the Mare Is
and navy yard at San Francisco.
For the first time in many months
most of the coal will be shipped in
American instead of foreign bottoms
OF the 81, 900 tons, 1900 tons will
be shipped in foreign bottoms at $4.14
a ton. The contracts for transporting
the other 20, 900 tons will be dis
tributed among the following: f. F..
Luckenbach, 5000 tons at $6.21
Edward Sewall, 5000. at Sc; William
P. Frye, 5000. at Sc; Acme, 5000,
at Sc.
When the Atlantic battleship fleet
made its cruise around the world the
Navy Department decided, in view
of the fact that the cost sof American
vessels for transporting coal was I'M
usually excessive, to use foreign bot
toms. The Department also held that
American vessels were not more than
so per cent. higher than the charge
imposed by foreign vessels
The contracts awarded on Monday
furnish the first instance in which
American vessels have come within Sc
per cent of the bids of foreign bot
toms.

These blanks are being sent out to
every owner of property in the county

What does not seem to be generally
understood by the property owners is
that in evrey case where a holder of

and return the blanks placing his own
valuation on his holdings, the right of
appeal from the assessment by the
board is lost, and its figure must stand.
