Deliberations of the Delegates to the Two Great Party Meetings Promise to Be Spirited?Neither Will Be a Cut and Dried Affair?Roosevelt and the Navy?Story About Taft. By WILLIS J. ABBOT. Democrats all over the United States will be interested in the frank state ment of Hon. Chomp Clark of Missouri that he hopes to be a candidate for sen ator. Champ Clark has been for many years a working member of the house of representatives. He has been more than that. Through the methods of the journalist and of the lecturer he bus preached Democratic doctrine all through the United States. Until last year this Democratic letter winch I am now writing had been written by him. and written most admirably. Mr. Clark has never wavered iu his patriotism or his Democracy. He has quarreled with no one in the house, nor has he at any time relinquished one iota of his militant Democracy. His announce ment that he would be a candidate for senator was drawu out by a sugges tion that he should be the nominee for governor of Missouri in the next elec tion. Rightly he declared that he would prefer to be In the legislative branch of the government, either in the senate or house of representatives, than to accept au executive position. Among the militant men on the Democratic side in the house Champ Clark ranks with the first. He has not aspired to be leader, but hLs standing has been so high that uo leader has attempted to lead him. If his colleagues were able to determine the outcome of his future ambitions he would be elected to the senate without a dissenting voice. He is, of course, not a candidate against Senator Stone, whose term ex pires In 1SK)9. Seuator Stone will be re-elected without serious opposition if he so desires. His services to the Democratic party in the nation justify that compliment. Mr. Clark's ambi tion is to succeed Senator Warner, Re publican, of Kansas City. Senator Warner has made an enviable record In the senate, but came there as the result of a political fluke. Ills term will expire in 1011. Iu all probability Missouri agaiu will have two Demo cratic senators, and one of them will be Champ Clark, who Is the best knowu Democrat of the whole state. It Is one of the advantages of the southern Democratic states that when a man hus learned the business of law making he Is allowed to continue it for many years. Mr. Clark Is serving his seventh term in congress and has been in public life for almost thirty-five years. Perhaps the business of being a member of congress might be regard ed as almost as technical as any other one. If that is so, it seems that the man who has learned the ropes would be more useful to his constituents than the stranger. The Two Conventions. The conventions of the two great par ties this year will both be fighting con ventions. It is easy enough to say that Mr. Bryan's nomination by the Democratic national convention is al ready nssured. Probably it is. Yet many of the people who express such great confidence in that outcome for get that the Democratic convention, unlike the Republican one, must give a two-thirds majority in order to nom inate. Furthermore, iu the Democrat ic national convention the unit rule prevails. Mr. Bryan's lead above all other candidates Is conceded even by his enemies. But there will be other names presented to the convention, and properly so. Governor Johusou of Minnesota will have some strength and probably his own state delegation. Lleutenaut Governor Chauler of New York may have the New York delega tion. Indeed, it would be better for the cause of Democracy if the conv. j tion should not fail to be a deliberative gathering and one iu which the names of all prominent Democrats should be mentioned. The Republican Convention. Of course Republican conventions are sometimes cut and dried. The next one will not be, however. To day the fight for the nomination be tween Secretary Taft, Secretary Cor telyou, Vice President Fairbanks, Sen ator Foraker. Senator La Follette. Speaker Caunon and Governor Hughes Is a free for all. It is fair to say that, viewed from a Republican standpoint, almost any one of these candidates de serves respectful attention. Rut from a Democratic standpoint It is worth while pointing out that not one stands for any reduction of the tariff. Even Senator La Follette, who Is above all the representative of the radical ele ment in the Republican party, has nev er breathed one word that would In dicate his willinpiM'ss to accede to Im mediate tariff revision. Tuft has de clared that the matter should be left until after the election. Cortelyou has said nothing. Foraker has declared against revision of any sort. Fair banks and Cannon are essentially stand patters. As for Governor Hughes, one could hardly characterize his attitude better than to quote what was said by Hugh Hastings, au old line Republic an of New York and long state histo rian. Mr. Hastings resigned from the Republican club of New York because it had indorsed Governor Hughes for the presidential nomination. In his letter he described Governor Hughes as being in a "bomb proof" which had protected him from all questions bear It sometimes happens that the girl jilts a young man does him a favor.

Doyle & Co. lng upon national Issues. After all, Isn't that worth some consideration? If there Is any man In the United j States today who can tell where Hughes stands on any national issue? the regulation of railroads, the revision of the tariff, the curbing of the power of federal courts, the colonial policy, the question of increased appropria tions for the army or navy or anything else of national Importance?he can get a prize by sending his Information to any great newspaper in the United States. The Trouble In the Navy. When Senator Hale, chairman of the committee on naval affairs, announced publicly his sympathy with Admiral Brownson in the latter's controversy with the president, a new fight on the Roosevelt plan of complete domina tion of the army and navy was begun. This fight is likely to be a very serious one. It grows, of course, out of social influence. Mr. Roosevelt Is singularly amenable to that. Through the influ ence of Surgeon General Kixey, one of his boon companions, he was led to commit the error of insisting that a navy surgeon should be in command of the hospital ship Relief. Possibly it is a tempest in a teapot, but there are plenty of people taking an Interest in it. And when so distinguished a man as Senator Hale makes protest against it you may be sure that it will become an issue in congress as soon as that body shall settle down to work. There has been no precedent set for giving command of a ship to a doctor, a piiymaster or a chaplain. Mr. Roose velt, however, rises superior to preced ence, and even in the face of the resig nation of Rear Admiral Brownson and of the general criticism of his action he has carried through his programme so that Captain Stokes of the medical de partment of the navy is to be given command of the ship. Of course, as an army doctor, Leonard Wood was jump ed from the rank of captain In the medical department of the army to major general of the line in eight years, chiefly because he used to piay football with Theodore Roose^lt, so it seems quite possible that another fa vored friend in the medical corps of the navy may yet come to be an ad miral. There was never an administra tion in which personal favoritism play ed so great a part in the advancement of officials as in this one, never an ad ministration in which either the basic principles of civil service reform or the law intended to give them effect has been so continually ignored as by Theodore Roosevelt, who made his en trance upon public life by way of the civil service reform crusade. And apropos of what has happened in the army, where he dismissed without trial a whole battalion of troops, and in the navy, which he Is trying to rule without any sort of guidance or sug gestion from congress, It might be worth while to recur to a message sent by him to congress in the last session of the Fifty-ninth congress in which he asked that the president be given au thority to dismiss "for the good of the service" any officer or man in either the arra'y or navy without court martial or any formal hearing. In other words, his proposition was that the articles of war, which have been enforced for nearly three-quarters of a century, which have been debated and amended by many congresses, should be abro gated and that the man in the White House should be given absolute control over the lives and the fortunes of men who had enlisted in the armed service of the 1'iiited States. Could insistence upon absolute au tocracy go further? A Story of Taft. Now, this story may or may not be true. It is current in Washington and has come to me from men of the ut most prominence on the Republican side of the senate and of politics. It is to the effect that an arrangement has been made between Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Taft, representing the radical end of the Republican party, and Sen ator Aldrich, who Is well known to be the representative in the senate and in Republican politics of "the interests." President Roosevelt has but one am bition immediately?namely, to have the credit of naming his own successor who will stand for his policies. Secre tary Taft has but one ambition?name ly, to get the nomination for the presi dency. The proposition has been made to both of these gentlemen by the re actionary forces which are now in the saddle to toss Taft a nomination If he will leave the Republican machine alone in the various states. In other words, what is known as the senato rial combine is to have the national committee and Taft have the nomina tion. There is one little joker in the proposition. The senatorial combine will not interfere in Ohio. The reason is plausible. Senator Foraker, one of the most eminent senators, is a power there and is himself a candidate for nomination, so Ohio is to be left en tirely to the outcome of a fight be tween Foraker and Tart. If Mr. Taft sho.ild win. (hen no contests will be made in other states. Tf he should lose, the whole compact is to be off. As most people believe that Foraker can carry the primaries in his state, this suggests that the gentlemen with whom Mr. Taft has been so eager to traffic are planning to give him what in politics Is known as the "double cross." However that may be, it is perfectly evideut that practically all the strong forces in the Republican party are lining up against Taft's nom ination, while President Roosevelt is showing a lack of enthusiasm in its be half. Few people in Washington think that the nomination will go to Taft. Most people think that It's a wise thing to keep an eye on Uncle Joe Cannon. At the same time Washington opinion is so much iufluenced by immediate po Htleal fame that it is not wholly accu rate. Washington. D. C.
