Despite the announcement made by
Ex-President Theodore Roosevelt that
he would not be a candidate for the
republican presidential nomination,
John Maynard Harlan of Chicago, for
iner political enemy of the colonel, in
an address, at the Illinois theatre last
night announced that he Is candidate
to the national republican convention
in June and will. if elected, work and
vote for Roosevelt.
Mr.. Harlan admitted that four years
ago he fought the former president,
but he said in his address on "Roose-
Welt and Safety that there has been
tremendous changes" since which has
made him return to the colonel's stand
ard. Mayor William McConochie pre-
sided at the meeting and introduced
the speaker
The Chicagoan said that If times
were less perilous he would support
the Illinois candidate (Sherman), but
that conditions were such now that
the people of Illinois should not look
10 their state but to their country. He
said that the preparedness propaganda
which must be followed out extensive
ly in the next administration Of ma
tional affairs needs man at the head
who can unite and solidify every class
Of American citizenship.
The speaker dwelt extensively on
international questions between the
United States and Japan. inferring
that the unsettled dispute with the
Japanese over their rights In owning
land and doing business here is one
which may fash into war at any time
He spoke of the preparedness pro-

Mr.. Harlan spoke Of the Mexican
trouble and the activities Of the Japan

ferred to the eastern coast as practi-
cally defenseless with the present navy
and said that New Orleans could be
easily captured. opening the Mississip-
pi valley to an enemy. He pointed out
the long northern boundary line oc-

England. He raped the paciacists,
saying I'VE must see the dangers which
beset us and not fear the dangerous
lions In the paths towards prepared
ness and national safety"
Our preparedness must be military
and naval" Mr.. Harlan declared. 1T
must be diplomatic. 1t must rectify
our administrative life. 1t involves
armament It involves the personality,
which IN the presidents chair must

/! He INDUCED in a discussion Of the
technical side of preparedness, stating
we should have means Of expanding
our army quickly and establish uni
versal military training. but not to in
terfere with our daily duties.
Reviews Other Wars.
The speaker reviewed the history of
former wars of this country, pointing
out that the nation Is a slow one to
meet military needs. He said that
Washington and Lincoln learned in BIT
terness and despair that volunteers
respond slowly. and go quickly, and
that in compulsory service lies the
only safety.
That suppressed official reports and
recommendations of admirals to the
secretary Of the navy showed the needs
and mismanagement of the navy, was
statement the Chicagoan made. He
took issue with this practice, saying
the public. which Is paying for the
maintenance of the navy, should know
these facts.
Washingtons warning In his fare
well address, In which he deprecated
entangling alliances with European
powers, Mr. Harlan said voiced the
highest political wisdom of the time,
but that now that the United States is
no longer a weakling and needs diplo
matte preparedness as counterpart
of preparedness In arms.
The speaker advocated defensive al
liances, contending for the national
policy, application of which Is for d.

Ian advised alliances with states of
South America, "for common action in
certain sphere of American affairs
might perhaps be advisable. Such al
liances might have established peace
in Mexico and saved our nation from
the fiasco which 'watchful waiting
has entailed.

Tired of Democratic Control.

Il have been in Arizona, New Mex
leo and other states of the southwest
since l left Washington said former
Postmaster General Hitchcock In an
interview. but my legal residence is
in New York. Every Republican. no
matter from what section he may
come, must be deeply interested in
the forthcoming campaign, for it is
written so everyone who runs may
read that we are coming back. That
is the feeling everywhere never
knew more optimism among Repub-
licans. Everywhere the people are
talking, but as for candidates. really
haven't any opinion. The sentiment
appears to be that the party will name
a candidate worthy the great Office
and that wh,, er is named win be
elected. The people are tired after
three years OF Democratic control
and are crying for a change. The
tariff no doubt will be the one big
issue upon which the campaign will
be fought"

TRADE REVIVAL IN
WESTERN CANADA
Not a Myth but an Actually
Shown in the Returns of Az
ricuItural Statistics and
Every Department of
Trade and Com
Inerce.

The trade revival in Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta is an actually
and not a myth. There is today a
spirit of optimism in the air, just as
two years ago there prevailed the OPP
posite spirit of pessimism.
A general trade revival has been
felt in every department Of business in
the Prairie Provinces. The agricul-
turists are in better shape than they
have ever been before in their lives.
No farmers OF any country are in bet
ter financial condition and in a more
general state of prosperity than are
the farmers of Manitoba, Saskatche-
wan and Alberta. The farmers have
harvested record crop--a crop which
enriches them to the extent of some
thing over 100000, 900.
In the cities the prosperity of the
country has been reflected Every
where business is on the hustle. The
wholesalers and the retailers and the
implement dealers find business good.
The banks and other collection houses
find collections satisfactory, and fnan-
cial men declare that westerners are
paying up their debts. In Winnipeg
the bank clearings have been the larg-
est in history, exceeding some weeks
the figures of Montreal and Toronto
The grain shipments have been the
biggest in the history of Winnipeg and
in the history of the twin ports, Fort
DArf A rfh
order houses have had a big year, the
rush of fall orders exceeding all previ-
Gus years and taxing the capacity of
these establishments, whose most san
guine expectations have been exceeded
by the actual business done.
The tide has turned In western Can
ada. The people of the West are
forging ahead, forging ahead in actual
production and in creation of wealth,
giving generously to charitable and
other funds, paying up their back
debts, while going along carefully rs
regards any creation of new debts.
They are economizing but not scrimp-
ing. acting cautiously but not miserly.
The financial heads of eastern Canada,
of the United States and of Europe are
no longer criticizing western Canada:
rather they are unstintedly offering
their praise and their compliments.
The financial press recognizes that
the tide has turned in western Canada,
and 1t has been published to the world.
The condition of western Canada at
the close of 1915 is one of optimistic
prosperity, backed by the same deter
mination of western people to go on
increasing their productiveness and
maintaining the records which they
have already established.
The trade revival of western Canada
is the happiest feature In the business
survey of the whole Dominion for 1915
and in the outlook for I916.-Adver-
tisement.

CHOICE WISE
Republicans Do Well to Hold Con-
vention in Chicago.
Meeting at the Scene Of Its Disaster
in 1912 the Party will Show the
Country That II Is Reunited
and Aggressive.

The Republican party will meet in
Chicago a week before the Democrat
ic party meets in st. Louis, and will
define the issues upon which it will
attempt to elect successor to Wood
row Wilson. The convention will do
its best to choose a candidate who
personifes the reunited and agrees
sive spirit of the Republican party.
Republicans everywhere will APP
prove the aggressive attitude of the
national committee in arranging for
an early convention at Chicago. The
forthcoming struggle will be as fierce
as any political campaign ever con-
Quoted in the United States. Chica-
go, where the Republican party was
split open, is the place where tbs
breach should be healed. The memo
ries of the passions that led to disas-
ter will chasten the delegates and con-
strain them to sacrifice everything to
the cause of victory.
1t is fitting that the opposition
should make the attack. 1t need not
wait for the Democrats to nominate
Mr.. Wilson or publish their platform.
What the Democrats will do is as we'll
known now, or will be as this session
of congress progresses. as it viii be
on June IA The main question be-
fore the people is what the Repub-
ican party will do in selecting its
champion and stating its position.
That party has much to gain by en-
ergy, boldness and initiative. II would
lose much by hesitation or feebleness
In defining the issues or by choosing
a weak leader through compromise.
The Republicans feel instinctively
that defeating Mr.. Wilson is no small
mans task. They recognize the fact
that circumstances have given him
some strong weapons. They believe,
however, that they can win. and they
give proof of their confidence by re-
turning to the scene of their disaster
and making the first move in the com.
ing battle.

Easy Money.

The sixty-fourth congress has not
fairly got down to business yet but
it is certain to be the most expensive
congress the country has had since
1865. the closing year of the Civil
war. And this IN spite of the re
turn to that simplicity and economy
which BELTS a Democratic govern
ment," as pledged in the Baltimore
platform, and the 'profigate waste
of money wrung from the people by
oppressive taxation" by the last Re-
publican congress, which was de-
nounced in the same platform and by
Democratic speakers and newspapers
throughout the country in the cam
paign of 1912.

Time to Call a Halt.

Sooner or later there will be a ma

of taxes. 1t would be far better and
more equits bic for the government to
issue bonds 20 that the people might
know where they stand. The tariff is
the least burdensome method of rails
ing revenue, and yet the Democratic
party apparently is rejecting this
plan IN favor Of additional direct

Most of the problems which the

now, the deficit, the dye-stuffs famine
and the prospects of dumping, as well
as the entire industrial problem after

ment of a protective tariff. But the

that the majority for protection will
