answer here" in the year 1912.
The so.caHed regular Republicans in
congress still pin their faith to the
belief that when Mr.. Roosevelt finally
speaks 1t will be to voice an indorse-
ment of the Taft administration as
far as 1t has gone, and to voice as
we'll an intimation that II things go
on as they are going the colonel may
decide to become an editorial prop
or Mr.. Taft's further presidential am
billions.
The insurgent Republicans do not
know exactly how to take the colo
nels silence. Mr.. Roosevelt was met
by number of men who had with
them the insurgents tale to tell,
while there were present only one or
two at the meeting with the colonel
to enlighten him as to the administra-
tons side of legislative progress in
the United States. or course. Mr..
Roosevelt found letter from Senator
Root at the Khartum postoffice. and
this probably gave him the most elab-
crate account of American doings from
the administrations point of view.
Some Conflicting Sentiments.
good many members of the In
surgent faction in the lower house OF
congress are members of what has
been called the Back from Elba
club" although 1t is hardly necessary
to say that this club has really no
actual existence as an organization.
One of the curious things that have
come out of the Roosevelt silence is the
recent outspeaking of some of the Dem
ocrats who for reasons of their own
seem to want to impress 1t upon the
Republicans that Mr.. Roosevelt is the
only man with whom the latter can
hope to win the election in 1912. It Is
entirely probable that, ipasmuch as
this Is advice from their "Siend tho
enemy" the Republicans will be a lit
tie shy Of accepting 1t at its face
value.
In speech delivered in the house
recently Representative Palmer of
Pennsylvania spoke of Theodore
Roosevelt as 'the first insurgent Of
them ALL" This was intended by the
Democratic member to let the insur.
gents understand that he and presu-
mably others of his party believed that
Mr.. Roosevelt was the chief apostle of
the movement which had resulted in
the taking away of some of the power
| from Speaker Cannon, and in other
movements in which the insurgents
are or were engaged
II the Democrats ControI2
Republicans In congress are spec
ulating a good while in advance
1t Is true, as to what the Dem
ocrats will do If they secure control OF
the lower house in the Sixty-second
congress. The Democrats themselves
are consulting privately as to what
will be best for them to do II they
come into a partial possession of the
legislative fat of the land.
There Is practically no chance that
the senate of the United States can
become Democratic before the year
1913, when a new administration also
will take hold of the reins of power.
Therefore II the present minority
party should become the majority in
the house In 1911 1t could not hope
to secure the passage of much legls
lation that would receive the sanction
of the senate and the president.
Some of the Democrats say that the
best thing that their party can do II
1t succeeds In getting control Of the
house Is to start straight at the work
of formulating and passing an out.and
out downward revision tariff measure

say enthusiastically that this is the
only way to impress on the country
that they they are true to their old
standards and that they believe the
way to decrease the price of living Is
to attack high prices through the high
tariff. Some of the prominent minor
ity members believe that If on com
ing into power In the house the Demo
Gratis pass a tariff bill that the coun
try, seeing that they have the courage
of their convictions, and having come
to the belief that the tariff is toe
high, will see to 1t that a Democratic
senate is returned and that Demo
cratic president Is elected to succeed
William II. Taft.
