SEA GmT, y. j.. July 2I.- Senator
Gore of Oklahoma answered q question
last week: "Oh. Mr. Theodore Roose-
welt will be taken care OF after the
campaign opens" II became known to-
day what the Senator had IN mind
when he spoke. Mr.. Roosevelt Is to be
taken care OF by William Jennings
Byran on behalf Of the Democratic party
and in all likelihood by Senator Robert
NJ. La Toilette on general principles.
Just how the wisconsin man Is to
operate this year and in whose behalf
Is not known at Sea Girt. but word has
come through some very good friends
Of his that he will take the stump and
will have a great deal to say about
the promises and performances OF the
chief bull moose. lie may be ostenslbly
for President Taft, some very opti-
mlstic persons hope he may he for
Wilson. but the majority believe he will
be playing a lone hand. paying little
attention to anything or anybody but
the man from oyster Bay. All are
agreed that he hates Roosevelt with
a hate that has no limit
There need he no such doubt about
Mr.. Bryan. according to information
received here unofflcially from his
friends. lie IL going to take the trail
just behind the Colonel. lie is going
TO start about the time of the sortie
from Long Island. lie Is going where
the third term nominee goes and he Is
going to keep II up as long as that
hard working individual keeps II up.
1t is understood that the Colonel is
going to start right after August 3.
Mr.. Bryan will he ready.
The Roosevelt progresslveness. ac-
cordlng TO Mr. Bryans friends. will be
honey on the lips OF the Lincoln states.
man and he will roll It around like q
sweet morsel He will start with
progressiveness that made the late f.. II.
Hartman very friendly for practical
purposes, that permitted the absorption
Of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Com
pany. that made the United States Steel
and the International Harvester Com
pany, George W. Perkins, Frank Mum
sey and few others devoted followers.
and then he will have something to
say about present day vote catching
Bull Moose platforms.
II he were talking to-day he would
be able to say that in no third term
local platform has there yet appeared
any suggestion Of tariff reduction eX-
cept upon the basis Of difference In the
cost Of production at home and abroad"
and he would also state that In none
OF these platforms IL there any at
tempt to deal with what appears to be
vital to the Democratic party this year
the problem Of the high cost OF living
Executive committeeman and Demo-
cratic leaders who have been down at
Sea Girt during the last week say that
when the two inen get after the third
and the three OF them get to going
strong II will come near being about
the most interesting incident to II Presi-
dental campaign It will be possible to
imagine. The Colonel Is known az
great traveller. but as far az covering
miles In this country Is concerned he
has no advantage over Mr.. Bryan. Both
can speak two-score times q day and
finish strong. Both thrive on rough
campaigning, sleep well. eat heartily
and both have iron thrOats.
Senator La Follette's abilitie- In this
direction are not SO well known. but as
he Is much more nervous than either
OF the other men. he may not be able
to keep up the gruelling long distance
fight.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Bryan
can count upon the hearty and whole
souled assistance Of the executive COM
mlttee In his plans. II was said at the
start that he was to do what ne wanted
to do In this campaign in the way he
wanted to do H. He was not to have
any engagements made for him without
his expressed request and he generally
was to be allowed to play the Prince
Rupert for Gov. Wilson's campaign. lie
will go into his duel with the whole
National Committee back OF him with
all it's resources.
That will give Gov. Wilson leisure
to campaign according to his own de-
slres. He will be able to make formal
| tours Of the debatable States and to
, deliver keynotes at important centres
In company with leading Democrats
like Champ Clark. Gov. Harmon In Ohio
Mr. Underwood. Gov. Marshall. his rum
ming mate. In Indiana. Gov. Plalsted In
Maine.
Mr. Bryan will visit Sea Girt soon
after notification, August Z. The Gov
ernor has invited him to come any time
convenient TO him.
Word came from the Governor to-
night that work on the speech Of &C.
ccptance IL progressing SO favorably
that he will be back in the Little White
House Friday night. but too late to
receive any visitors He Is already
making engagements for Saturday and
for next week.
One hundred men from the Brooklyn
Democratic Club will be here Saturday
to press him to open the campaign at
the Academy OF Music there.
Mrs. Wilson and the Misses Wilson
will attend the horse show at Long
Branch to-m0rrow afternoon. They will
occupy box which has been specially
decorated for them.
