TOMORROW THE CONVENTION MEETS
The second place is an important one
in a national campaign where there is
any doubt about the election of the
man for fust place. This contingency
does not arise In this campaign. What
ever opposition may result from dislike
of Mr. Hoosevelt or his mathods or the
feeling of distrust occasioned by ihe
money stringency, will be more than
overmatched by the division in the
ranks of the democracy caused by the
name of Bryan.
As a tiatter of mere politics? that is
as n n-nrs of getting votes in the elect
ioa to follow? New York's desire to be
conceded that honor should no doubt be
gratified. But the expressed desire of
President Roosevelt is another very
strong evidence of his sympathy with
the west. He wants Dolllver of Iowa,
firsti choice, and for the second choice
Piles of Wnshingtoo. This should be
particularly fluttering to Piles, so lately
entered in the arena of national politics.
Piles says he does not want it aud Dol
liver has not yet been heard from. If
Piles really does not want it it is proba
bly because he prefers to bold fast to
his present dignified office than to sit
for a while as presiding officer over a
body from which he might have to per
manently retire at the end of bis term.
Senator Dolliver may be thinking along
the same lines.
As for New York's m?n, Hughes
does not want it. that is certain.
Hughes is a man of deeds and the se.
elusion ol the vice-presidency is not
likely to invite him. He is timber for
flrs; ptftCO ood will liKc'jr COUJC lULU lit#
own in due tim?. Whether or not
Dollirer or Piles are of the sort to be
trusted in a place where it might fall so
easily to either to hnvo the responsi
bility of the presidency thrust upon
them, is arother question. Dolliver
is one of the most eloquent men in the
senate and a man of much personal
magnetism, and will be a force in the
campaign. It seems likely he will be
the choice. He is fifty years of age and
looks about forty, full of fire and ener
gy, with many graces of manner.
Tomorrow the convention meets to do
its interesting work.

evejing delivureiHiimself to tno follow
ing effect:
He stated at the outset that the
newly inaugurated National policies
had not in bi? case been without their
strong pernoQul influence? an Influence
that bad aroused in him a keener seme
of responsibility to his stockholders,
towards the compttltion of the concern
of whloh he was the official bead,
toward business men and toward the
public generally; that the effect was
an improved sense of relationship with
? II these, a consideration of the great
business activities in which his concern
is engaged on a bettor basis and a high
er plain, an acknowledgement of some
thing of a decided moral purpose and
control in its purpose.
The outlook of Judge Gary from this
newly developed viewpoint Is optimis
tic; he says a larger and more lasting
benefit that is to come from the refor
mation of business methods.
Give to this testimony the belief o'
sincerity, and it signifies a great deal
most important of all, tho working of
the leaven where the lump is most
sodden. But even if the sentiments
expressed are considered merely as
mild and courtly acquiescence in what
is believed to be popular, the moral
qualities of the policies ic discussion
is what makes them popular, and in
that fact lira the great promise of the
National redemption.
Whatever emphasis men may lay
upon the faults of President Roosevelt,
however glaring and obnoxious they
may be to the one individual or clas9 or
to the other, the fact of high moral
purpose in the polices he advocates
preserves the merit of the latter against
all assault.
Appropriation does not lie solely
with those who, as a class, ?re railers
at wealth and all that the acquisition
of wealth signifies. It comes, as well
from the conservative middle class, net
hitherto radicil or consorting with rad
icalism. It Is based upon appreciation
of honesty as a fact of popular consci
ence and it bespeaks the better con
ditions to which that appreciation is
bound to lead.
