ROOSEVELT CAMPAIGN CHANG
Appeal Now Taken From People 20
the Bosses.

Step BY step Theodore Roossvelt'S
campaign for . denomination for .
bird term 10 falling by the way
side. At first Mr.. Roosevelt made
direct bid for instructed delegates
for himself. This effort met with
such feeble response ut the hands
of the Republicans throughout tho
country that Senator Dixon and his
,ther managers undertook to set up
take" contests throughout the south
az an evidence that Mr.. Roosevelt's
campaign was making even greater
progress than 1t really was. Now,
having been defeated in their purpose
Of securing . majority Of the national
Republican convention, and having
lad their contests" in the south
shown up" In their true light. the
Roosevelt managers have turned their
attention to persuading delegates &C.
tually instructed or pledged to Presi.
dent Taft to bolt their instructions.
In other words. instead Of living up
TO their professed intention Of appeal
ing to the people. Mr.. Roosevelt and
ais managers are now appealing H.
rectly to the political bosses" to help
hem out Of hole.
The work done by Ormsby McHarg
with respect to persuading southern
delegates to bolt President Taft has
met with . warm reception in the
south. The southern leaders Of the
Republican party are thoroughly in
suited and incensed at the attitude a.
sumed BY Mr.. Roosevelt's representa-
lives toward them and their associ.
ates and they declare that southern
Republicans are not mere chattels to
be bought. sold and delivered on call.
They have instructed themselves to
vote for Taft by their own free will
aad volition. and vote for Taft they
will In the national convention.
Among the Republicans Of the south
who have roundly denounced the meth.

Roosevelt Declares His Intention To

DECATUR, ILL.,, April D. In the
district of Congressman Mckinley,
manager of President Taft's cam.
paign, Colonel Roosevelt took up the
cudgels against the congressman. The
first of his six speeches was made at
Clinton, where he said:
1.-THE professional bread and butter
politicians are all for Taft. There
never was q straighter lineup than
this between the politicians and the
plain people, and here at least In
Illinois the plain people have the
chance to speak for themselves"
While in Clinton Mr.. Roosevelt
said he had been requested on Satur-
day not to attack MIR. Lorimer in his
Springfield speech that night. A
delegation from the Springfield Roose-
velt club, which arranged the meeting,
told him an attack on Lorimer might
injure him politically in that district,
since the senator had many supporters
there.
The colonel said he declined the re-
quest fatty. Rejsaid II he had to loss

would speak his mind on that subject.

WOULD LEASE GRAZING LANDS

If congress will f%avorably consider
and pass a bill recently introduced by
Senator Warren OF Wyoming, grant
ing to each public land state q million
acres Of grazing land with permission
to the state to lease these lands and
apply the bulk of the proceeds to the
construction of public roads, the good
roads movement in the west will re-
ceive a great impetus. Incidentally,
this same bill will greatly increase the
reclamation fund, and, to that extent,
facilitate the construction of govern.
ment irrig alton %projectss avs, the Ana.
couda Standard.
The Warren bill in brief permits
each public-land state to take over the
control of one million acres of vacan,
public land suitable only for grazing
The state In turn may lease these lands
to small stock owners at an annual
rental of not to exceed ten cents pc,
acre, and for periods not exceeding
five years. OF the proceeds the bill
requires that one cent per acre an
nually on the land leased shall b.
paid by the states into the reclamation
fund. The remainder is to be expend
ed by the states in the construction
and mainten ance OF public roads, eacl
state to spend this money within it
own borders. The bill permits tn
leasing of these lands to individual
or to corporations, but 1t will no
operate in the interest OF monopol
because of the restriction that onl,
elk hundred and forty acres shall b
leased to any one person or corpors

At the present time the lands ths

or to the federal government. The

POLITICS AND BUSINESS.

Does history Justify the general be-
lief that "presidential years" are bad
for the country? IL q contest for the
control of the national government q
blight upon business? Must the
American people expect dull times
when they are choosing their chief
magistrate?
In the presidential years when the
tide Of party feeling and political in
terest runs highest, the average state
of trade and industry is not worse
than the average. Years when presi.
dents are chosen are good, bad and in
different ia business, like other years.
Since the civil war there have
been eleven "presidential years." not
including this one hardly begun. Only
two--1876 and 1896-came aud went
without the grip of hard times. Two
others-18S4 and 1904-were marked
by reactions in some departments OF
traffic and production, but the furries
of those years in the financial centers
of the country were neither violent nor
prolonged, and they had comparative.
ly little effect upon the general welfare
of the people. The average American
family was not conscious of unfavor.

There was no sign that the coming OF

Dental election operated IS a blight
upon trade and industry. The coun-
try enjoyed the full normal degree Of
comfort, the average balance between
earnings and expenses, the work de.
manding workers and the workers
seeking work.
When it ia consinered that since the
end of the great war between the north
and the south there have been eight
years of very bad times, at least four
years more which are partly blighted
by panic conditions or the p%rostration
following such financial crises, and
three more with abnormal business
mortality, it will be seen that the
presidential years have averaged
about as we'll as the rest.
With fifteen years out of the last

panics and hard times, or both, the
