WASHINGTON, May 10 - Even
though ex-President Roosevelt is well
understood to be declining all nomina-
tons to office for himself. this promises
to be something of a good year polite
ally for his relatives and immediate
friends. If there be no slump in pros
poets between now and the days when
nominating conventions come thick and
fast good many Rooseveltians-th
label blown in-theb0ttle varietv-will
be honored with the votes of delegates
and the rafter-ringing applause that
delegates produce when favorites win
convention honors.
Thus far the Rooseveltians have not
indicated very clearly how willing they
are to accept nominations for seats in
congress. for governors of States and
the like. Presumably William Loeb
Jr., collector of the port of New York
and former secretary to ex-President
Roosevelt, is willing to take a chance
in the gubernatorial lottery. Mr.. Loeb
like the man who brought him from
Albany to Washington to acquire fame
in the outer office at the White House
knows how to advertise. The para
graphs about the availability of the
said William Loeb, .Ir., for governor Of
New York, which have grown into an
enormous crop during recent days, were
| not all spontaneous by any means.
But there are dark and lowering
clouds on the political horizon and poll
ticians who propose to trot out Repre-
sentative "Nick' Longworth. the son
in-law of the ex-President, as Repub
lcan candidate for governor of Ohio
and alike, those who are trying to get
Douglas ROBINSON. brotherin-law of
the ex-President, TO run for congress
in the Utica district, where Vice Presi-
dent James Schoolcraft Sherman makes
his home, are undoubtedly doing all
this for purpose.
Nearly all the voters in the United
States ought to know now that Ohio s
Democratic governor-Judson Harmon
of Cincinnati-while a personal friend
of President Taft, is politically thorn
in his side. If there is one thing in
the November elections which could
strike at the President S political pres
tige and start the country to talking
about the advisability Of nominating
Theodore Roosevelt again for President
in 1912, it would be the reelection OF
Judson Harmon, Democrat, as governor
of Ohio. Just now Governor Harmon

.ROOSEVELTIANS HAVING
A LIVELY POLITICAL YEAR
Nick Longworth May Be Candidate for the
Governorshp of Ohio and Loeb for
That of New York.

Is popularity believed to have the inside
track. The wise men say the signs read
very favorably for him and there is
very naturally reluctance on the part
of Mr.. Longworth to offer himself as
a sacrifice. He has not startled the
country by anything he has done as a
representative in congress but he has
pIodded along after a fashion and made
something Of a record His father-in-
law s influence got him upon the ways
and means committee and he has been
fairly dIhgent student of tariff. He
does not want to give up a career in
congress just for the honor Of running
for governor of Ohio, unless it is to
be followed by an election.
There are not so many prominent
Rooseveltians, popularity known as his
close friends, now available for the big
offices to be filed this autumn. Per
haps that is why there is so much in
tense talk about nominations for the
very few. For some of Mr.. Roosevelt 5
members Of cabinet and other trusted
advisers were not of the calIber to be
taken up for elective otfics or do not
live in localities where their services
could be utilized as nominees. Elihu
Root. his secretary of state, has already
come to the senate and Robert Bacon,
who was a member Of the tennis cabi-
net as well as secretary of state for
a brief period. is ambassador to France.
James r. Garfield. who wanted another
term as secretary of the interior, would
run for office in Ohio. but he is not
hankerng after the gubernatorial nomi-
nation because of doubts whether he
could win
Oscar Straus. another member of the
| cabinet under Roosevelt. is ambassador
to Turkey. Charles J. BOnaparte. of
! Maryland, who was attOrney-general, is
| taking an active part in Republican
politics but is not a man to run for an
elective office. Luke f. Wright, who
was secretary of war. is a Democrat and
| lives down in Tennessee. Clifford Pin
| chot former forester under Roosevelt
| could probably make lively run for
almost any office that he desired, but
| he IS not the kind of man to aspire
and furthermore might have difficulty
determining whether he is a legal resi-
dent of Connecticut. Pennsylvania, or
the District of Columbia.
But in every State and in many con
gressional districts a scrutiny of the
| lists is under way to find good ROose-
veltians, whom the ex-president is
known to think very well of and whom
he might help get elected. With all
the political eagerness of the party au-
thorties, big and little, to find this
brand of candidate for the 1910 bien-
| NAL races those qualified to run are
fearful because of the impression. more
or less deeplv rooted. that it is to be
year Of Democratic tornadoes which
may plough great burrows here and
| there in Republican majorities.
/ When the ex-President returns he
| may do something to encourage these
! oIdtime friends Of his 10 strive for
some Of the political fruitage Of the
| season. If he does there may be less
reluctance than is now apparent.

THE COLD WAVES

The recent cold waves have recalled
to the minds Of the older residents the
time when the Ice on the Susquehanna
river was 80 thick that the only means Of
getting the trains Of the Philadelphia,
Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad
across at PerryviIle was TO lay rails on the
ice and run trains over them. This &C.
tualIy was done 58 years ago on Saturday.
The river was frozen 60 that it was im.
possible TO ferry the trains across the
river, the method then employed, 60 on
January 10Th track was laid on the ice
and from that time TO the latter part
OF Februaryi this line was used. THE
cars we're taken over one by one, and,
even though they were of considerable
weight, not person was injured nor was
any damage done 10 property. There
were 1878 cars taken across during the
great freeze, some carrying passengers
and some filled with freight, and many
persons took the trip simply for the sake
Of the experience. During the present
week there has been horse racing across
the ice between the Cecil and Hartford
county shores, at about the same place
where the tracks for the railroad were
laid.
