New York and 1916.

| In speech at Ithaca. N. Y. Thurs
day, Mr.. Roosevelt said:
There were many good men who could
not see their way CLEAR to vote for me
in 1912. I ask all Of them to support
Mr.. Davenport. for this is not a ma
tional but a state fight--a fight for con-
| life"
This is contrary to opinion widely en-
tertained outside OF New York. That
opinion is that the bull moose fight in
that state has Its leading Inspiration in
national considerations In a word, 1t
Is q fight by Roosevelt for Roosevelt
in the interest Of his ambition to re-
turn to the White House
As one may easily see, II Mr.. Whit
man wins he will not only become the
Governor Of New York. but the states
strongest and most striking national
figure. He is opposed by the most
powerful combination possible. Note
the names - President Wilson. Gov.
Glynn, Theodore Roosevelt, Charles F.
Murphy and William r. Hearst. Even
BOurke Cochran who In the past eight
cen years has passed from the demo-
cratic party to the republican party,
from tho republican party back to the
democratic party. from the democratic
party to the bull moose party. has now
passed from the bull moose party back
to the democratic party. He is sup
porting Gov. Glynn directly, instead OF
indirectly through Mr.. Davenport.
II this coNbiuation 10 beaten, the
achievement will be extraordinary, and
will attract wide and profound atten-
tion to Mr.. Whitman. 1t may not make
him his party's candidate for President
two years hence, but 1t will certainly
mako him prominent in all speculation
on the subject. and add to the interest
and influence Of the New York delega-
tion In the next republican national
convention.
This fact is too patent and important
to escape SO astute politician as Mr..
Roosevelt, inspired at this time by as
pirations leading him to extreme means
In an attempt to realize them. His cal
culation is that ii Mr.. Whitman is dis
posed of now-and defeat will dispose
OF him in the national sense-the New
York republicans will be leaderless in
the spring of 1916. and open to ap-
proaches from him. Roosevelt on the
subject Of a presidential candidate
Hence his nomination Of Mr. Davenport
for the purpose of drawing votes from
Mr.. Whitman. who with a united re-
publican party would win hands down.
The Davenport candidacy is a demo-
cratic asset. Democratic hopes are
based upon it. Tammany rejoices in 1t.
AS Tammany sees. it helps to cancel
the Sulxer candidacy. which is anti
Glynn. II it completely cancels that.
and brings Gov. Glynn in at the head
of the poll. Tammany along with other
democrats. will benefit in state affairs.
and Mr.. Roosevelt, in some measure, in
national affairs. That is the play, let
Mr.. Roosevelt deny it or try to disguise
1t as he may.

China, Glassware, Dinnerware, Crockery, House

These departments have always been located

wonderfully complete and fine stocks has never
been greater And, too, the fact must not be lost
sight Of that the new F street building has given

The President and Congress.

The congressional situation is unique.
single interest-the cotton interest
blocks adjournment A body, rump as
to size and jaded from protracted work,
is held in session by minority of the
majority party in an effort to obtain
special legislation.
We may all. and all do. sympathize
with the cotton men. They are. through
no fault of their own. in most uncom-
Portable position. Losses will come to
all, and bankruptcy outright threatens
some. Their congressional leaders turn
to the national government. AS they
see the matter. other refuge have they
none. In their helplessness, they hang
On it,
The question is put up to the President
by both sides. Those who want legisia-
tl"n ask him to draft some plan of relief
or indorse some plan drafted by another.
They are sure that his word will go
with Congress- in this as it has already
gone In other things.
Those opposed to legislation-and they
are not enemies of cotton-want him to
adjourn Congress by proclamation. and,
for the present, end the difficulty. 1t
is urged by some that the Presi-
dent under the Constitution has such
power. AS he can call Congress together
in extra session when he thinks the
public interests demand it, he can for
like reason. put an end to either an extra
or regular session in the case of a
disagreement between the two houses
about adjournment: but there is doubt
whether the present situation. caused
by disagreement as to legislation and
the lack of a quorum. and not by a
difference as to the time of adjournment,
falls under the constitutional provision.
II there had not been any talk about
Mr.. Wilson and his relations to this Con-
gress, the problem might not present any
embarrassment. But there has been a
great deal Of talk. indulged In by demo-
Gratis as well as republicans. Congress
has been criticised for surrendering its
cised for exercising them In almost an
autocratic spirit. Hence, should he take
this extreme step suggested he might
add fuel to fame already strong and
leaping high.
As has been said on number of oc-
casions. Congress has itself to thank for
any diminution OF prestige it has re-
Gently suffered. The President has made
no fight for the increased prestige he
enjoys. 1t has come to him as a glad
offering. His party in Congress has laid
it willingly at his feet.
Yesterdays situation was the most
delicate which Mr.. Wilson has faced.
And he seemed to appreciate the fact.
His sending for Speaker Clark. who is
not frequent caller at the White
House. was very suggestive.
