The Washington herald., 1913-10-30


burgh and tho youngest man who had
ever held so high place. He took
pains 10 attach himself ia a friendly
way with the Mckinley administration
including Mark Hanna, whom Loree had
known in Cleveland a few years before
II was not long after the bringing OF
William Mckinley to Washington that
Col. Loree began going up In the Penn
sylyania system and then he was presi-
dent OF the Baltimore and Ohio and
other big lines In a very few years.
There was a clash in one railroad or
ganization which resulted in Loree giv-
1 ing up the presidency and receiving
something like $4,000 for going DO and
he found another presidential place
awaiting him next day. He was frequent
with questions among statesmen and
politicians during his stay In Washing
ton yesterday. advising some, but asking
more, not overlooking a few observations
on Mexico which would give the ad-
niinistration something to ponder about
Col Loree has given much study and
attention to Mexico and insists on the
strong arm method OF handling the
situation.
Stokes. the Republican candidate for
Governor in New Jersey. and the placid
ity OF Senator James E. MARITIME over the
prospects OF Fielder, the Democratic
nominee, are features of the Jersey cam
paign that cause something more than a
ripple OF comment In Washington. The
voluntary going Of Borah into the cam
paign because of a personal admiration
for the Stokes sentiments and way of
doing things was a trifie startling to
other Republicans In the Senate, includ-
I'M he oil - 49,
wore the progressive frills- The few
who inclined to the Roosevelt organiza-
ton last year much more than Borah
did not feel called upon TO hasten into
Jersey for Stokes or any other Republi-
can candidate and wonder now IL the
Borah impulse will lead to future politi-
cal prominence in party affairs.
Coming from Idaho. with its six votes
In a national convention and three votes
in the electoral colleges-Borah can hardly
expect. much show as Presidential can
didate and would care less for a second
place on the ticket next time. but, blessed
with youth and courage. he Is evidently
giving notice that he expects to be very
much in the front Of things when an
other national convention gets ready for
business in 1916.
While Senator MARITIME has been unusu-
oily active with Senatorial duties at the
Washington end. he may take a fling at
things in the State just before election
observe the old-time dash and fervor IN
the MARITIME observation on Jersey poll
tics Nor IL is understood by those In
the range OF the MARITIME eloquence three
hours ride from home, that he looks for
any great disaster to the cause of Presi-
dent Wilson IL the Wilson successor to
the Governorship is not indorsed for a
fun term OF hts own next week. There
are philosophers in New Jersey politics
as well as patriots, and MARITIME is both.
He has been a candidate for every Office
from County Commissioner up in the last
ftrty years and never reached until
made Senator. He learned much in all
those losing campaigns. and indicates his
wisdom thus derived by keeping out Of
strife when nearly four years remain to
him of a Senate term.
Ohio Democrats coming to Washington
wonder some. and question more that
their State.- which did remarkably well
toward the election of President Wilson,
has gotten SO little from the new ad-
ministration. Mayhaps they wonder, too,
that Lewis Cass LAylIn, Republican,
continues as Chief Assistant Secretary
OF the Interior. while thousands OF DEM
job and the s5.ooo a year salary. Tne1
only two important appointments given
Ohio. Democrats are those of q. W. -Salz-
gaber, the Commissioner of Pensions,
and Albert Lee Thurman. Solicitor of
the Commerce Department There Is
talk OF Brand Whitlock. Mayor OF To-
ledo, for appointment as Minister to Bel
GUM, but whitlock is not looked upon
as an orthodox Democrat or one very
dear to the Ohio organization. Really
the Ohio Democrats have had little given
them thus far, and they recount that
they have nineteen members in the
House and Senator. while only a few
years back Ohio had one lone Demo-
crat-Harvey Garber-in both branches Of
Congress. Then, too. IL Is recounted that
under the last Democratic President,
during both terms, Ohio was highly hon.
ored. Senator Pendleton was made Min
Ister to Germany and there was a prompt
giving out OF high places in the State.
Under the second administration Har-
mon was a member of the Cabinet and
many of the best foreign posts were
given to Ohio Democrats. thanks, in part,

quick reward for the faithful
