democrats are already looking forward
to the 1912 campaign. They are talk
ing about the question of the party
management in the presidential con-
test
In the last presidential campaign,
there was weakness in the manage
ment, at least from the view OF some OF
the democratic leaders National Chair
man Norman e. Mack did not run
things to suit a good many OF the
democratic politicians. They Will bit
terly oppose the idea of letting him
run the campaign again. Already. the
opponents of Mack are casting about
for some one other than he to conduct
the 1912 battle.
What we want" say the men dis
satisfied with the Mack management of
the last campaign, ''is a man VINO
will run the 1912 campaign as William
H. Barnum, of Connecticut, ran the
campaign of 1875 which resulted in the
election Of Samuel j. Tilden."
Of course. Mr.. Tilden was not landed
in the White House but all democrats
say he was really elected and they give
Barnum a lot of credit for doing 1t.
Casting About for Leader.
Various men are being talked Of for
the leadership in 1912, men who have
had wide experience in politics. One of
them is National Committeeman Tim
othy Ryan, of Wisconsin. Another IS
John T. McGraw, of West Virginia.
Still another is Col. James NJ. Guffey.
of Pennsylvania. A fourth is Former
Representative Martin J. Wade, of
iowa No doubt others will arise for
consideration.
Objection will be raised to Colonel
Guffey because of his age and because
the cry would be raised against him
that he was on too friendly terms with
the Standard Oil Company. His friends
will urge that on the score of expert
ence Colonel Guffey is well equipped to
conduct a big political fight. Objec-
tons will also be raised to him by the
Bryan men. because 1t is we'll known
that Colonel Bryan has no manner Of
use for Guffey. as he made clear at the
last national convention, and most Of
the Bryan men will follow their leader
in respect to opposition for Guffey. Nc
Graw will be objected to on the ground
he has corporation affiliations in West
Virginia. He is conceded to be an able
oplitician.
Western Man Probable.
Indications are that the next demo
cratic management will be picked from
the middle west. At least, there will
be strong movement in that direc-
ton. Some of the opponents of Mack
are saying that the middle west is the
place to get the manager from. This
is what has brought in the name of
Ryan and the name of Judge Wade,
and no doubt will lead to the consid-
Grafton of other western men.
1t is being pointed out that If Gov
ernor Harmon is nominated for the
presidency he will be more satisfactory
to eastern democrats than to western
democrats and unless a western man is
picked for manager and western man
whom the Bryan democrats can abide
by there will probably be many de-
fections. Judge Wade is one Of the
western men who would probably give
; satisfaction both to the Bryan men and
to the more conservative democrats.
He has served in the house, is an able
lawyer, has had much experience in
politics and had good deal to do
with the last democratic presidential
campaign.
Demand Strong Committee.
Talk is heard that in the next presi-
Dental campaign there will be especial
emphasis placed on the selection of a
strong executive committee. 1t is as
serted that too much in the past have
the secrets of the democrats been con-
veyed to the republicans while they
were still fresh. This was a weakness
| of the last campaign which an effort
! will be made to overcome.
i Undoubtedly. the wishes of the man
who may be nominated ON the demo-
cratic ticket will go good way on
/ the question Of who shall manage the
campaign Mr.. Mack was chosen by
I William ]. Bryan in 1908. Probably
| this is the reason why some Of the
/ democrats are objecting to him now
/ One OF the difficulties in the situation
about selecting the next manager, if
the democrats are in as confident a
mood as they are now, is that the rad
ical wing, of the party will scan with
a suspicious eye any one proposed for
| the management with corporation affil-
! iations. Ut viii De Sd III that tho ter
! ests are trying to get into the saddle
f., in the democratic managem ent in the
expectation of being in the saddle like
wise if the democrats should elect a
president.
