 Bill.

Washington.-Reinforced pressure Is being brought to bear daily on Rep resentative Nicholas Longworth. to SC cure his consent to be a candidate be fore the Republican state convention for governor of Ohio He is still coy. Mir Longworth as the world knows, or ought to know. is the son-'n- law of former President Theodore Roosevelt. The Ohio representative has told President Taft several times that he Is, and will continue to be as long as the present Taft endeayor is continued, a strong and sincere sup porter of the administration policies
 There are some politicians in Wash. ington who look on the declaration of the fealty of MT. Longworth to the administration as being evidence in part that the Chioan believes Shat his fatherin-law. when he comes back likewise will declare fealty. Other politicians say that there is nothing to this, and that Nick" acts for him self in political and personal matters without regard to the advice or sug. gestion of his wife's distinguished ia ther.
 If the "sonin-law representative" should become the candidate of the Republicans for the governorship nom. fnation in Ohio. there are those who ny emphatically that he will draw the Roosevelt Republicans to his ban her, and also the other Republicans, for 1t is averred that MT. Longworth is popular with all Buckeye Republi- cans and that his kinshlp-in-law to Colonel Roosevelt will have a great sentimental effect on some of the Re Dublicans who seem to have with drawn their support from President Taft, and who are apparently careless about the result in Ohio.
 Democratic Faith in Harmon.
 The Democrats say that Judson liar. mon, present governor, and the man who Is to be their candidate for re- election to that high office. can win against any candidate whom the Re publicans choose to name. They say that Harmon's record is excellent and that the state Republicans are split into two factions. insurgents and reg ulars-just as they are in other states, although the outward manifestation of party trouble has not been as marked In Ohio as it has been elsewhere The Democrats scout the truth of any statement to the effect that a mere re- lationship by marriage between Mir Roosevelt will have any sentimental or other effect in deciding the election In Ohio next fall
 In New York the governoship situa- ton Is extremely interesting Colonel Roosevelt when he returns, Is expect ed to try to straighten out state af- fairs even though he takes no hand in national affairs, and says nothing pro or con upon the Taft administrators achievements.
 It seems possible that if the Roose- welt influence prevails and If the rec ord which William Loeb, Jr., collector of the port of New York. has made In score of cases stands him in good stead, that he who once on time was MT. Roosevelt's secretary will be the Republican candidate for governor. It may be that the Democrats will nom- mate William J. Gaynor, mayor of New York city. for the governorship of the state provided Judge Gaynor says that he is willing to make the race. If the mayor runs for governor. and Is elected and MT Harmon runs for governor in Ohio and Is elected, 1t readily can be seen what prestige each will have as a candidate for the Dem ocratic nomination for the presidency.
 Sees Roosevelt Opposing Taft.
 William Jennings Bryan has said, according to press reports. that he be- ieves when Theodore Roosevelt re turns to America he will be found in the ranks of the Insurgents" and that instead of standing in defense of the Taft administration the colonel will take the position of an adverse critic.
 There are in Washington friends of MT. Taft, who also are friends of MT roosevelt. who say that MT. Bryan IS utterly mistaken and that when the colonel returns 1t will be found that ne Is still loyal to the man who sue ceeded him in the White House. Sena- tor Root, as one has had occasion to Write before. was depended upon by MT. Roosevelt when he was president to give him advice from a strict con serVative point of view. The colonel aas implicit confidence in his secre- tary of state, the man who now Is a
