The Portland oregonian wants TO,
know "What has become Of the par
ty that elected Taft? We do not
know, but it looks like Teddy is
about to put a big part of it in his
vest pocket.
Bill and Teddy is playing game
Of politics, but Teddy has the deal
ON Bill and will win out. When this
becomes plain to the politicians, they
will desert Bill and go over to Ted
dy in droyes.
David Bennett Hill announces
that he will have nothing more to
do with the affairs OF the Democratic
party. We can't blame David, for the
Democratic party has had very little
to do with his affairs in the last
twenty years.
Ex-senator Wellington, Of Mary.
1aad, advises his fellow Republicans
ito cheer up. as the worst is yet to
come. Under the circumstances, it
must be difficult for Republican to
look cheerful unless he holds good
ia. civil service job.
In answer to the question Of the
Democrats?" the Augusta Herald an
swers because my daddy. before me
was a Democrat, of course" But
how about some of us whose .daddies
were not Democrats until the en-
croachments OF the North drove
them from the Wings to- the Demo-
crats?
Thomas E. Watson has broke loose
again in Georgia, and we can almost
smell the sulphur over here. Poor
Tom! His once fine mind seems to
have been shattered by the political
.reverses he has met with in the last
few months, and now he goes about
Georgia making a laughing stock Of
himself.
If Archbishop Ireland is not very.
careful he will find himself enrolled
as a member of Teddy's Ananias
Club. The old prelate seems to be
backing up "My Dear Maria" with
documentary evidence to prove that
Teddy did not stick to the exact
truth in his controversy with the
Storers. Fs5'
s Congressman Jas. A. Tawney, one
Of Uncle Joe CaEnon's chief support
ers, was among the claim in the Min
nesota primary on Tuesday. An in
surgent walked his log for him. and
Tawney blames the horrid Democrats
for his being beaten. Well, they all
hunt some excuse for being repud-
lated by the people.
United States Senator Simon Gug-
genheim was endorsed by the Color
ado Republican State Convention for
the pickings he got out of the gov
ernment pork barrel. but they said
not word about his senatorial car
eer. The fellows who can get the
nost out of the pork barrel seems to
he the kind Of men the people want
at Washington.
We fear, that John Temple Graves
is letting the opportunity of his life
slip by without any effort on his part
to improve it. If he would group
Teddy Roosevelt, Willie Hearst and
TonInie Watson. and exhibit them as
the three great irreconcilables he
would make more money out of the
aggregation than he would know
what to do with
1t is real cruel in My Dear Maria"
in butting in just at this time and
reopening the old controversy over
the appointment Of Archbishop Ire
land to Cardinalship. Teddy has
about as much as he can do in hold
ing his own with the "old guard" in
New York, and this flank movement
of "My Dear Maria" will cause him
no little worry.
Congressman Tawney has an arti-
Gle in an October magazine telling
"Why the Republican Party Should
Remain in Control of the Govern
ment" AS the gentleman was de-
feated for denomination by All In
surgent in the Minnesota primaries
on Tuesday be will have ample time
to find out the cause of his failure to
remain in Congress.
Secretary Wilson's nonchalant
manner in forwarding his check to
the postal authorities to pay for mail
ing Republican campaign speech.
which he had franked at government
expense, is most admirable, since he
was notified that he would be prose-
cuted for fraudulent use of mails.
Every now and then. remarks the
Nashville American, some Republi-
can forgets that the United States
does not belong to the Republican
