Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1914-03-06

due largely to his desire before olu
age crept on to become once more
his party's nominee for the presidency.
From the tone of things said and wrtts
ten prior to the time of the selection
of Mr.. Bryan for the post of secretary
of state, ii was evident that many men
believed the Nebraskan would attempt
to dominate the administration with
a view to getting a large share of the
credit for things accomplished. The
presumption was that Mr.. Bryan
would be so sure Of his own construc-
tive abilities that he felt no fear that
any legislative failures could be
charged Up against him as the direct
or-in-chief of another mans Office.
Washington officials admit, some OF
them sorrowfully, but all of them adj
miringly, that the secretary of state
with apparently generous intent, has
refrained from anything which might
look like domination or an attempt
to draw first attention to himself a.
Woodrow Wilson.
He May Know Wilson's Purpose.
1t has been charged that Mr.. Bry-
an has had no deiniteness in his for
eign relations course" He has been
blamed for inactivity. His friends say
he simply has been s~elf-denyinK. and
that he has stood q n amount OF crfdr
cism for 1t which would make men
less patient speak out in public pro
test.
Had Secretary Bryan knowledge
that President Wilson intends before
long to say something on the single
term subject? There are Democrats
who think that so far as Mr.. Wilson 10
concerned, 1t 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 win
not ash a 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 ths
middle Of March. 1t is said the leaders
Of the new party have the colonera
assurance that he will do what they
want him to do. If he follows the
plans laid down for him he will follow
for some time his own strenuous life
preachings.
Almost Immediately after b colo
nel's return ne will attend the state
convention of the ~Progressives in Ban
gor. Me. The new party men of that
state have just held a big meeting In
Portland. The occasion was the com
ing together Of the state central com
mittee. Reports have 1t that the
spirit shown at the Portland meeting
was just as militant as that which was
In evidence in the campaign OF 1912.

profit by the appearance OF the coao'
mel in several cities and towns Of ths
state. The former government Tor
ester will have several opponents n
the field. It seems that his cause =
most likely to be hurt by he candi-
dacy Of Representative Ainey, Who
calls himself a progressive Republican
and who says that his aim il to 81
the Penrose following and the Progrss
sives together as the first great stsD
toward amalgamation. Washingtoa
politicians say there Is 10 reason b

tor for Mr.. Ainey. Therefore, II Af
Ainey gets any votes they feel b
probably will get them from the mem'
bers Of the Progressive party.
VIII AID clifford PlnchoG-
Colonel Roosevelt when he spea6
in Pennsylvania Is to tell the ProGros
sives not to be deceived BY the fair
promises Of men who claim to b PRO
~grecsives and yet are not willing "a
adopt the principles enunciated in tn
Progressive platform. Clifford Pinchol
is a personal friend OF Theodore
Roosevelt, but he is also q Progressive
OF the kind the colonel loves. There
will be hard working days for the for
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 tc
be the two Progressive candidates In
Ohio, the one tc- governor and the
other for senator. Colonel Roosevelt
will speak in behalf Of both in the
Buckeye state and will turn his guns
on Senator Theodore e. Burton, who
wishes to succeed himself in the up
per house. 1t Is possible also hat the
colonel may be compelled to turn his
guns once more on his ancient foe
Joseph Benson Foraker.
The news already has been publish
ed that Colonel Roosevelt's speaking
trip will take him into Illinois. Uncle
Joe Cannon has said in Washington re.
Gently that any Republican who is
nominated in the Danville district car
be elected, and it makes no difference
whether he is a young man, an old
la or a middle-aged man. Some
politicians here say it is possible that
Mr.. Cannon was reckoning without his
guest, for Danville as host must reck.
on with Theodore Roosevelt as a guest
long before the election can prove Mr..
Cannon to be a prophet with or with
out honor.
The colonel will speak in New York
from Good Ground to Buffalo, and ar
rangements now are being made to get
him to extend his middle western trip
into far western territory.
