to solve as to what to do with Roose-
welt.
While Roosevelt Is not now indi-
eating disposition to seek the nomi-
nation himself. there is no doubt
he will try to exert his influence on
the platform. He is expected to in
sist that this be distinctly progses-
sive.
Republican leaders are talking
with surprising frankness these days
about the probabilities of republican
defeat. They take gloomy view of
the outlook for the most part 1t is
impossible to conceal the feeling here
among a good maay republicans. and
they are not all insurgents, that II
President Taft is renominated he
will be beaten. Some OF Roosevelt $
close friends believe this. What the
colonel thinks about 1t is not known,
but this much is certain:
Four Years After That.
Some OF his close friends are
pointing out that he will not be too
old for the presidency in 1915. They
think II Taft is beaten in 1912 there
will be a strong call for Roosevelt
IN 1916. and that he may again be
named to lead the party.
So far as Bryan is concerned, there
is no doubt that democratic leaders
are following his course with anx-
iety Many think that IL corpora
tion democrat is nominated for the
presidency, Bryan will openly work
for his defeat. The friends OF Gov.
Judson Harmon, while not admitting
II. are concerned over what Bryan
Is going to do. so are the friends Of
DR.. Woodrow Wilson. IL Is gener-
ally believed among democrats here
that Bryan will oppose the nomina-
tion OF Harmon strongly and that he
may turn against him in case he Is
nominated. Bryan is manifesting
some enthusiasm for DR.. Woodrow
Wilson's campaign In New Jersey.
He would not stand for Dix, but is
friendly to Mayor Gaynor or TO
former Governor Folk. Of Missouri.

Washington. Dec. When SEN
ator Eugene Hale, of Maine. and Sen.
ator Nelson w. Aldrich, of Rhode
Island step out of the senate March
|3, next, the commanding influence
of New England in that body will be
gone.
1t is true that New England
man, Senator William p. Frye, of
Maine, will be the ranking member
of the senate, the Oldest member in
point of service. But Senator Frye
is getting far along in years. and
is too old to take, the part of aggres-
sive leadership.
Senator Cullom, of Illinois, will. be
the second member in point OF SER
vice, and Senator sGallinger, of New
Hampshire, will be third, with Sena-
tor Lodge, of Massachusetts,, fourth.
Senator Dillingham;, OF Vermont,
will not be far down the line from
Senator Lodge with respect to his
years of service, and among the New
England senators ranks next to Sem
ator Lodge. Then, of the New Eng
land group, comes Senator Burnham.
of New Hampshire, and Senator
Crane, of Massachusetts,.
Must Take Back Seat.
Looking over these men, who will
stand foremost among the New Eng
land senators who will remain after
Aldrich and Hale are gone, it scarce
ly needs to be said that II is far
cry from the days when Senators
Aldricn, Hale. Platt, Of Connecticut,
and Allison, OF Iowa, ran the senate,
and when three Of the reigning four
were New England men. Ii is likely
to be distant day when there re-
turns to New England the influence
on senate affairs held by those men.
Who will be the leader Of the SEN
ate when Aldrieh goes is a much
mooted question. Speculation has
lpun| |the mantle Of leadership on
lnearly every senatorial shoulder.

Bryan and, Roosevelt Have

Washington, Dec. 29.--If a lot OF
politicians In the republican camp

or to what extent he has made up his
mind to participate, they would be
happy
II lot of democratic politicians
could find out the intentions OF Will
liam j. Bryan they would sleep bet
ter.
For two politicians who have been
considered suppressed, who have even
been called dead, these two gentlemen
are projecting their shadows athward
the landscape considerably just now.
The Roosevelt-Taft exchange Of let
ters has suddenly caused an endless
wagging OF tongues In Washington
and the country over as TO what
Roosevelt is up TO. And the guarded
manner in which Bryan is discussing
the candidates. OF various democrats
In the commoner causes much specu-

cratic circles

All indications. In view OF the
friendly letters 70 President Taft. be-
Ing that Roosevelt does not intend
TO fight Taft for denomination. there
still arise some highly interesting
questions as TO Roosevelt's plans. One
OF these is how far he intends 10 take
part In the campaign OF 1912. on the
stump. and how FAR he will fight TO

Rack to Group leadership.
The probabilities are that the SEN
ate will 90 back to the sort Of lead
ership that obtained before Senator
Aldrich was so far in the front. That
is, 1t is likely to go back to the
group leadership, such as obtained
in the days when Platt, Aldrich,
Hale and Allison were the reigning
coterie.
More or less talk Is heard that II
Senator Lodge is reelected he will be
the senate leader. While 1t is true
that Senator Lodge will take most
conspicuous part in senate affairs so
long as he is in that body, there is
mo likelihood of him being made the
senate leader. He is lacking in that
element of personal popularity that
has done so much for Aldrich as
leader. Nor is there any other man
in New England who is going to be
the senate leader.
Senator Crane is another who has
been mentioned. but he has no
capacity for taking part in the
rough-and-tumble of fight on the
floor, and though he is a useful field
marshal of Senator Aldrich, he could
not get far when it came to leading
the senate. He always will be
potent in the senate, but he cannot
lead 1t.

The progressive senator's of the
west will have to be given considera-
