THE POLITICAL GAME
The endorsement of President Roose
velt by the Ohio senators, and the
"stand pat" letter of President Roose
velt to Congressman Watson, of Indi
ana,are the visiole evidences of some of
the shrewdest play* that have been
made on the American political chess
board, in a long time. They mark a
truce, if not an absolute peace, among
the leaders of the two great fac
tions of the republican party.
When congress was in the big work
of the session a few weeks before ad
journment, the republican part seemed
hopelessly divided and certain to lose
the coming congressional elections.
The situation was greatly improved,
from a political standpoint, when Sen
ators Fulton. Allison and other induced
President J Roosevelt to break with
Senatois Bailey and Tillman and accept
a compromise on the railroad rate bill
that would be satisfactory to a majority
of the so-called railroad senators. How
ever, there was still a menacing atti
tude on the part of beligerant senators
and representatives at the time con
gress adjourned, and as the ground work
for the coming campaign was being
laid in each state, that boded ill for
many meuil>ers of the house and senate.
It was not long, however, after the
national legislators began to mingle
with their constituants that it was dis
covered that the price of continued
membership in congress would be an
acknowledgment of the supremacy of
President Roosevelt in political mat
ters. Democrats everywhere were prof
iting bv I the loyal support a] demo
cratic minority had given the president
on railroad matters in the senate, thus
forcing an unwilling majority to grant
some of the legislation desired. Hence
the conferences at Clyster Bay, the en
dorsement of President Roosevelt by
Senators Dick, Foraker and others, and
the willingness everywhere to admit
that the president is the head of the
republican party,
But Mr. Roosenvelt's letter to Con
gressman Watson, wherein he pro
nounced for a protective tariff and
thereby added starch to the fast wilt
ing backs of .the "stand pat" brigade,
indicates that all these indorsements
and ail this harmony were not brought
about without sacrifices on the part of
the president. He has evidently en
larged thejagreement made with Speak
er Cannon last fall and stipulated that
ther* shall be no tariff tinkering for vet
a little while-may be not during the life
of the present administration.
The result of all this planning before
the opening of the guns on the line of
battle has been to place the republi
cans in a much better stragetic position
to withstand democratic assaults than
they werein a few weeks ago. In fact it
would seem that they are entrenched so
securely as to justify a greater feeling
of safety than thatobtaining.
It is admitted that the final outcome
will depend largely upon the skill and
strength shown by the democrats in
making their assaults. That the latter
expect to make great inroads upon the
administration party is evident. At no
time since the dark days of 1893 hare
the democrats, apparently, prepared a
line-up as strong as that with which
they will charge the powers that be dur
ing, "the nest two months. They wiLl have
all the advantages attaching to the
popularity of Bryan, who is now the
acknowledged leader of their party, and
who will return to his countty from a
triumphal journey around the world in
a blaze of glory. He will carry the
banner of a reorganized party? re
organized without conflictor friction by
common consent? into the thickest of
the fray and will lead the charges in
person at the vital points. He will
be aided by a galaxy of orators that has
never beeu excelled in the country,
and Le will be backed up by public men
who have become famous and gained
thf confidence of the masses as re
formers on account of the real work
they have done.
This ii what the masters of the
j.ame of politics in the republican party
have to meet. That they understand
the exegencies of the occasion, have
planned well for the meeting and will
conduct the battle with superlative
skill there is no doubt.
But there is an element in this game
of politics that must not be lost sigbtof,
and that is the disposition of the people
to act on their own judgment in decid
ing upon wbat are the issues and how
to vote upon them. In many parts of
the country it is becoming so that the
people and not the politicians make the
issues. Upon the extent that this ele
ment enters into the elections in Novem
ber and the mann :r of its entering
depends much.
The result of the conflict will be
awaited with gre-.it interest. It might
be that the disclosures of t.ie campaign
will make it possible to fortell it before
the end of another month, but it is
more likely that it will remain hidden
until the returns begin coming in after
the election day.
So, after all, South Carolina will send
Senator Tillman bacs to the national
senate as the unanimous choice of her
people. That is well. Indeed, South
Carolina is lucky to have a Tillman to
send there. It would be a good thing
if more states had some Tillmans [to
send to the senate.
The Dawson News says the election
in Alaska demonstrates that the Alaska
people will be satisfied with nothing
less than full territorial government.
