Roosevelt in 1912.

1t looks like Roosevelt expected
TO be a candidate in 1912. Some of
his enthusiastic friends have been
talking about him, but there was
nothing to support their prophesies
until the confidential friends, who
visited him after the rundown for
chairman, announced that he will
be candidate only if it is necessary
to do so in order to carry out his
policies" That means that he is not
satisfied with the administration and
expects to contest the nomination
two years hence. That means fun.
And how will he set forth, specifical-

PARTIES TEST OF STRENGTH

Boston, Aug. 29.-The political at
tention of the country is being grad
ually focused on NewEngland, where
early in September, the first measur-
| ing of strength between the Repub-
lican and Democratic parties in the
State elections of 1910 is to take
place. Vermont on September 6, and
Maine on September ~, will select
officers and indicate their preferences
for Representatives in the Sixty-sec-
ond Congress. In each State there
will also be chosen members of the
Legislature who. in turn, will elect
member of the United States Sem
ate.
On the same day as the Vermont
election, New Hampshire will hold
her first Statewide primaries, and the
first under a direct primary law af-
fecting an entire State to be held in
the East. Massachusetts, will hold
primaries on September %, but the
law in this State is optional, and only
the larger cities and a few towns
make direct nominations.
State conventions will be held in
Connecticut in September, and Mass
achusetts and Rhode Island in Octo-
Der. In each of the three States full
tickets for State officers will be
named and legislators will be elect
ed, who, save in New Hampshire,
will choose United States Senators.
The terms of Senators Carroll S.
Page, of Vermont; Eugene S. Hale,
of Maine; Henry Cabot Lodge, of
Massachusetts,; Nelson w. Aldrich, of
Rhode Island. and Morgan G. Bulke-
ley, of Connecticut, expire March 4,
1911. Mr. Hale and Mr.. Aldrich have
declined reelection. New Hamp-
shire does not elect to the Senate
again until 1912.
The campaign in Vermont, after
a sharp preliminary contest between
+ four Republican candidates for the
gubernatorial nomination, in which
Or. John w. Mead, of Rutland, was
successful, has progressed quietly.
Charles D. Watson, of 81. Adams is
the Democratic opponent The Re-
publican leaders are devoting their
efforts mainly to securing or exceed
/ ing a normal" Republican pluranty
OF 10000, while the Democrats are
endeavoring TO reduce this margin.
The Republicans in Maine have
nominated Gov. Bert NJ. Fernald for
second term, while the Democrats
are waging a vigorous campaign With
Frederick w. Plaisted, Mayor of Au-
gusta, as their leader. Dividing To-
cal interest with the Governorship
contest is the congressional fight in
the First district, where the con-
eressional parliamentarian Asher c.
Kinds, is seeking the seat on the floor
of the House formerly occupied by
Thomas p. Reed, who introduced
Kinds into Washington legislative
circles.
In neither Vermont or Maine is
any outward issue drawn between So
called "progressives" and regular"
Republicans.
The New Hampshire primary can
vass is being fought with as much
vigor as a State campaign, the strug-
gle being between Bertran Ellis, of
Keene, and Robert p. Bass, of Peters
boro, the latter being supported by
the so-called progressive wing of
the party.

Who Are You For?

The Hancock Clarion says:
In the last State election the To-
bacco Trust selected Wilson, then
its attorney in louisville, and Sc
cured his nomination and election as
Governor of Kentucky. We again
see the fine Reggie" hand of the
Tobacco Trust in the candidacy of
w. o Head, who is not only May
or of Louisville, but is the man in
charge of a Tobacco Trust ware
house in Louisville.
The people and not the Toblcco
Trust, will select the next Governor
of Kentucky.
Two years ago Mr.. Head went to
Frankfort, as a representative of the
Tobacco Trust, and made a speech
against the McChord Tobacco Bill,
which was then pending before the
legislative committee.
Tobacco growers, are you for Mr..
head for Governor of Kentucky?

EIectino a Governor.

Any one of the five men who are
seeking the Democratic nomination
for Governor would make a good
Governor and there is not the slight
est chance of the nominee not being
elected, no matter who it may be-
Frankfort News.
We agree with the News in its first
statement, that any one of the five
candidates will make a good Govern
or, and we are decidedly of the opin-
ion thatBen Johnson would make the
best of the five, but we do not agree
with the second statement, that any
one of them can be elected. In our
opinion the very strongest and most
popular Democrat in the State who
can come nearest uniting and receiv-
ing the support of all kinds of DEM
ocrats. will have a hard race to win.
We base our statement on the fact
that the Republicans have won three
out of the last five State races. We
think the Democrats will have slight
" the best chance to win, If they
nominate the strongest candidate. If
they 90 upon the idea of the Frank
fort News that anyone can win, and
do not properly consider the availa-
biity of the candidate, the chances
are that the Willson-Hager race may
be repeated. The Democrats are not
so strong in Kentucky that they can
afford to take any chances.-G Eliza

now that these policies have aroused
the indignation of the people to an
unusual degree, the blame is laid on
Speaker Cannon and his personality
is to be eliminated. But these poll
cies will continue under Republican

another leader. 1t only illustrates
once more the ingratitude of the
heads OF the special interests" the
thankless task of the political leader
and the merciless sway of the "sys-

Can the Republicans afford not to
nominate Taft? To do otherwise
would be to acknowledge that his ad-
ministration and his policies have
been a failure, and yet there are
many Republicans who will admit
this. There are also quite a number
OF Republicans who have never been
satisfied with Taft because he got his
nomination at the dictation of Roose-

"by the most shameless use of pub

FIGHT FOR COAL LAND,

Misunderstanding that title to
$500 acres of valuable lands in the
Miles City district had not passed to

title thereto.
Twenty years ago the land was ced.

under that treaty became available to
entry only under homestead and desert
entries. Despite this fact, the railroad
claimed it under it's land grant, and
enormously the Secretary of the In.
