1915 AND BEFORE.

OF United States Senator Jacob II.
Gallinger's laudation Of United States
Senator Elihu Root as the man who
should be nominated by the Republi
cans for president in 1916 1t may he
said that It is heartfelt, that the
praise is we'll bestowed and that the
"boom" or boost" is premature.
Much water will flow under many
bridges. and there will be much and
varied travel over them before the
nominations are made in 1916, says
the Pittsburgh Gazette Times. There
will be seed times and harvests and
more than one revolution Of the cart-
around the sun; there will have bcon
one election for members of the nh
tional house of representatives ana
another will be impending; thcrH
will have been elections for United
States senator's, governors and Othe'
officials Of states, of state legtsla-
cures and countless local officers, all
steps in the holding and fashiontng
of public opinion leading up to and
having their bearings on the chOtc"
OF candidates for president ana we,
president in 1915 and powerfully i'll
fluencing the final decision OF the
electors in November Of that year.
At the moment it is uncertain by
what means candidates will be nom

OF the political parties which have

and make nominations may stand aG =
