sen prlor TO the time of the saloct;o,,
=. MI. Bryan for the post of secret -
OF state, it was evident that MAN. - -.
DeneVed the Nebraskan would attamn+
= nominate the administration with
view TO getting a large share ~ The
oieui1 Tor things accomplished. The
presumption was that Mr. Rrvon
wouiu De SO sure OF his own construc-
i've abilities that he felt no fear th.t
auy legislative failures could be
charged up against him as the direct
o1-ln-cnler OF another mans ONCE
washington officials admit. soma 81
enem sorrowfully, but all OF them ad.
lnirlngly, that the secretary of state
Win apparently generous intent has
Ieiralned from anything which might
look IKE domination or an attempt
70 draw first attention to himself a.
power In the. administration of
woodrow Wilson. Within a dav or
TWO the president has paid a tributa
10 MS secretary of state. q trihuta
winch has the rank Of sincerity Ha
mas spoken of the dignity Of his cab
met o11cer. of his sincerity and his
transparent integrity.
He May Know Wilson's Purpose.
It has been charged that Mr.. Bry.
an has had no definiteness in his @for.
elgn relations course" He has been
blamed for inactivity. His friends say
ne simply has been self-denying. and
that he has stood an amount of criti-
clsm for it which would make men
less patient speak out in public pro-
test.
HAD Secretary Bryan knowledge
tnat PRESIDENT Wilson intends before
long to say something on the single
term subject? There are Democrats
VINO think that SO far as Mr.. Wilson Is
concerned, it will not be necessary to
hasten the resolution for a one term
amendment to the constitution. The
thought is, and Mr.. Bryan may share
the thought, that the president will
not ask reelection in 1916 under any
circumstances.
Campaign Work for Colonel.
Officials of the Progressive party
have outlined campaign work for Theo-
dore Roosevelt when he returns from
South America some time about the
middle OF March. It Is said the leaders
OF the new party have the colonel's
assurance that he viii do what they
want him to do. II he follows the.
plans laid down for him he will follow
for some time his own strenuous life
preachings.
Almost Immediately after the colo
nePs return he will attend the state
convention Of the Progressives In Ban
gor, Me. The new party men Of that
state have just held big meeting in
Portland. The occasion was the COM
ing together OF the state central COM
mittee. Reports have it that the
spirit shown at the Portland meeting
was just as militant as that which was
in evidence in the campaign of 1912.
In Pennsylvania Clifford Pinchot will
profit by the appearance of the colo
mel in several cities and towns of the
state. The former government for
ester will have several opponents in
the field. 1t seems that his cause Is
most likely to be hurt by the candi-
dacy of Representative Ainey, who
calls himself a progressive Republican
and who says that his aim is to get
the Penrose following and the Progress
sives together as the first great step
toward amalgamation. Washington
politicians say there is no reason to
think that any man who believes In
the Penrose rule will desert the sena-
tor for Mr.. Ainey. Therefore, II Mr..
Ainey gets any votes they feel he.
probably will get them from the mem
bers Of the Progressive party.
VIII Aid Clifford Plnchot.
Colonel Roosevelt when he speaks
in Pennsylvania is to tell the Progress
sfves not to be deceived by the fair
PROMISES of men who claim to be pro-
gressives and yet are not willing 70
adopt the principles enunciated IN the
Progressive platform. Clifford Pinchot
is a personal friend of Theodore.
Roosevelt, but he is also Progressive
of the kind the colonel loves. There
will be hard working days for the Tor
mer president in Pennsylvania His
duty will be to urge his party brethren
to "stay put" and not to be led away
by what he holds to be the seductions
of Mr.. Ainey.
Garfield and Garford probably are 70
ba fhe two Progressive candidates ID
ohio. the ons for governor and the
other for senator. Colonel Roosevelt
will speak in behalf of both IN the
Buckeye state and will turn his guns
N senator Theodore E. Burton, VINO
wishes to succeed himself In the up
ner house. It is possible also that the
colonel may be compelled to turn ms
Guns once more on his ancient foe'
Joseph Benson Foraker.
The news already has been puplisn-
al that Colonel Roosevelt's speaking
Trim will take him into Illinois. uncle
Toe Cannon has said in Washington re-
s contlv that any Republican who Is
dominated In the Danville district can
- elected and it makes no difference
