The Washington herald., 1913-12-01

sessions of woodward with Senator Scott,
the veteran leader overlooked by the
anxious ones who know that while the
bluff old Senator is not reaching OUT Tor
himself, he is not letting any friends get
the worst of It There is going 70 De a
new lining-up Of things IN west Nlrglhls
another year with old and grateful
leaders Joining with young ard hopeful
ones, all looking ahead TO Republican
governor who will do more for the party
and real politics than Glasscock ana MS
successor, Hatfield, who has become bit
! grand and gloomy since reaching the
executive pedestal. Senator Con. at the
age Of seventy, may not care 10 take
sides in the projected organization out
he is too vigorous In health aespite ms
age to remain unmindful OF what Is best
for the party that has honoreo MN %
long and so often.
David III. Moore, who comes from
Athens County, Ohio, a division once
denominated the helrs half acre OF Ohio
politics, came down the Willard way
with the soft rustic OF an angel rather
than the shuttle of one from the burning
sands of the other place, and was no less
soft in speech than In tread. The Hon.
David In a banker and local financial
plutocrat In private life, but has had a
share in political affairs at home, not
! overlooking a little diversion as collector
of internal revenue. There was ume
when this ONCE was looked upon as par'
Of the poIitIcal machine, and candidates
for President would defer to advice given
by a collector in any State prior to q
national convention. Nor is II forgotten
that William II. Taft was collector
AWAY back in the days when President
Arthur was reaching out for the Ohio
delegation in 1884. In those days the col
lector was the political machine' out IN
! recent years has failed to connect with
the local or State organization which
really turn the trick when delegates are
chosen to any sort OF convention. Banker
| Moore is a business man rather than q
| politician, and he aimed to serve the
government rather than politicians ou'
he was never unmindful OF FORAKER the
Senator who accomplished his appoint
ment The Athens visitor was not in
cljned to predict much for next year
| in Ohio politics, but did not hesitate to
wish that there could be return OF
his friend Foraker to the political arena
with some OF the dash which made other
campaigns memorable and successful
! The Moore demand was not 50 much for
giving Foraker another high official honor
as for getting him active ior the reai
Republican organization so that the party
could once more take hold at Columbus
and send more than three Republicans
to Congress. The Moore idea is that the
Foraker style of leadership and dash
would bring about what four years OF
indifference by an Ohio President let &c
| to smash. Like all other real Republic
ans from the fine old Republican belt
along the Ohio River, Moore laments al
most to tears that no Republican COVER
nor has been chosen since Herrfck In
1908, and not a single Republican Is do
ing business in the state House at Co
Iumbus why thus?' asks the Hon.
David. and fails TO answer his owr
query, except to suggest that, perhaps the
| Gov. Cox Democratic kitchen cabinet al
| Columbus will give the Republicans an
opening and a chance for return to power
| that they had not expected from Demo-
cratic governor.
