I trict and besides they are showing Sign
OF penftent return to the true faith. The
| switzer concern Just now Is to see sucf
! a return ali over Ohio and he Is prom
Using his share of hard work not only ID
his new district but In all counties along
the river where he has long been In
close contact with party leaders OF the
worth while sort.
Brand whitlock. awaiting confirmation
as Minister to Belgium, continues COM
2lacent confidence. and complimented Out
| in Toledo where he has been mayor In
| his own way with the writing of novels
| a diversion. He was sent word during
the week that all of his books In the
Congressional Library have been drawn
out by Senators o. high degree who
wanted to learn IL he had written any
thing worthy their objection on condem-
nation sufficient to back up an adverse
vote when 1t comes TO confirmation
The Hon. Brand hardly fears that his
facile typewriter has turned out para
graphs fatal to his diplomatic aspira-
tions, and secretly feels complimented
that the Senators are giving his literary
products so much attention. Whitlock
comes from a family of Methodist preach
ers. careful In speech and serene In tenn
per. so that his early training made him
careful and inclined to revision Of copy
before Il got on the book counter. Really
the friends Of Whltiock In Washington
rather resent the delay In confirmation
and yearn for his arrival In Washing
ton for the usual formality OF taking the
oath and receiving instructions at the
State Department.
The leaning backward OF Gov. Giynn
I'm protesting that he cares for no future
political honors has aroused some oppo-
sition editors to remark that the good
governor may be OVERRIDING II. His youth
counts for much N the political game
that IS to be played by q disorganized
Democracy in New York State prior to
1916
II is only wisdom for Glynn to declare
himself out OF all running year hence.
as his party can hardly recover from the
Sulzer scandal and the Mitchell victory
In a single year. The apostles OF fusion
and reform generally overdo 1t once they
win with righteous promises and holier-
than-thou proclamations, and Tammany
has some hope OF the usual procedure,
but until II happens the Democratic dream
OF domination at Albany after the Glynn
term Is a mighty misty proposition. The
are SO confident that they
admit only a slight embarrassment in the
matter OF choosing candloate Tor gov
ernor, and hesitate. too, about the To- |
,ality to be honored with the nomination. |
The Senatorial nomination goes to Root |
without opposition and there will be a |
general sitting out OF available governor
ship candidates in counties north and |
vest of Albany for the next few weeks, |
with the evident intention OF deciding |
IN n candidate and then pushing him with
svery resource Of a reorganiZed Repubh-
an party. Just now the talk OF Repre-
sentative Fatrchild finds favor with the
'aithful at the Washington end, but his
admirers prefer pushing him In New York
ather than in Washington.
This Is fully understood and approved
" the Republican members of Congress
rom New York, and while Senator Root
will indicate no personal preference in
Idvance OF the ultimate selection he will
,e active enough once the oh ice is made,
md the campaign will be mighty well
dvanced before groundhoS's day, Febru-
ny 2. 1914.
