GOSSIP ABOUT GOVERNORS.
' Suggested to Ansel to Tell Story of
"Brother Crafiford"?Other Incidents
of Conference.
A Washington dispat-eh to the
Columbia <State says:
|<*an hardly walk on the streets
i ilhe Wotol lobbies not at all
tJ stepping on a governor. As
4 crowd of men, about half of
A\ evening siutf one heavy set,
aged man, with a light gray
mtorial looking mnstachc, him essetf
in a spiketail went about
g hands, "Good evening, gov"
ho would say. In most cases
an would look up in astonish"l
assume," the gray niousI
dignitary would observe, "that
one here is a governor."
. Ansel was in the crowd movlout.
smiling upon the. many who
up lo greet him. A number of.
ovornor's own "people" were
it, some who lived in Washingid
had 01110 d'omi to take a look
i celebrities. "What are you go?
speak about, governor?" sonic
?kod him.
Ml," said the governor, "I
know yet. I am at u little loss
to say without saying what ha*
ly been said.
irhy, just toll them about Brother
>rd," his "constituent" sug1.
The governor sitiilod and lookif
he might take the suggestion,
l'e never did. The governor of
i Carolina did not have on hi>;
tail, because lie "said he was too
to go to the bijEf dinner they were
ig. Hut he Was not alone in the
suit business. There was tlu
nor of N'ortli Carolina to keep
company. When the two stood
her in their hotel lobby, of course
i were the old gaggers getting
i
off the ancient and honorable hoary
joke about what the ono said to the
i other. These two ^ovefrnars have^
been together two or three times
every "year, on an average, for tho past
decade or so. Yet whenever they do,
why it suggests a drink and the old
1 gag. It's a good enough gag, and of
' course, there are yet a few in the
world who have not heard it more
than a hundred times, so that it is
perhaps excusable. It always ex1
cites a lit lie mirth anyway. So let
' it alone.
Somebody nominated Clov. Glenn
for vice president&some admiringgov1
ernor who knew the North Carolinian's
fondness for being mentioned
for anything. Somebody is always
nominating him foi something, just
after one of these big speeches lie is
1 *o so fond of making. The one most
1 like the governor of North Carolina
' in the country is, perhaps, I lie governor
of Georgia, who was of course
missed. Whenever the name of
"Hoke" was mentioned, every one
instinctively thought of "Little Joe
Brown," and wondered whether next
year tnere would he any such governor
as IToke Smith to attend governors'
conferences and be nominated for
vice president, like" his double, Gov.
Glenn, of North Carolina.
One i?f the features of the occasion
was Iiie taking of photographs
at the White House. Gov. Johnson
was very much concerned about the
extremely strange position his friend
Mr. Bryan was placed in by those who
arranged the picture. "Bryan's a
good fellow," said Johnson. "I hope
lie will get out of thai. Why, look at
him. He is sealed up there in the
midst of the plutocrats." And, lo, it
was true, here was the Commoner
seated up there between Andrew Carnegie
and the hig railroad king J. J.
Hill. Some one remarked, thouuli,
that the presence of another to the
left of Hill made il all right. This
was none other than the famous union
mine worker, who engineered the big
coal strike, John Mitchell. Some say
hereabouts that Mitchell is the man
to be nominated for vice president on
the Bryan ticket. Gov. Glenn looked
askance when somebody suggested
this, for Hie governor of North Carolina
does not govern himself according
to rule.
Besides the governors there are
here" for this governors' conference,
three conferees from each State. And
since the White Hc<?-e has limited
room and the president wants to have
a sort of star chamber, exclusive affair,
none others than those with the
governors and five or six picked men
are admitted. At times even newspaper
men were not admitted". This
was (he plan in farr originally announced,
but it was not carried out
to tlie letter. There are too many men
there who had typewritten speeches,
made primarily for home consumption.
And as there is no Congressional Record
in which to insert such speeches,
then have them franked all over the
country, there just had to be some
way of getting these speeches out
among the "pee-pul," so that newspaper
men had' to be called in to help
out the statesmen.
Besides tho conference of governors
there have been in session here
ni llic same lime two otlie.* national
'conventions, and one other "conference."
These arc the drainage congress.
tiie waterworks convention and
the geological survey officials. So
that the town has been full up witn
experts on how to serve the country,
outside t.he realm of ordinary politics.
'But of course, the whole kit and
bilin' of them are talking politics.
KNOWS HE CAN'T RUN AGAIN.
A Republican Senator's Diagnosis of
President Roosevelt's
CJase.
A Washington dispatch to the New
York Sun says: One of the oldest and
most respected members of the senale
discussing today the growt h of I
socalled third term sentiment, expressed
himself on the subject in interesting
terms. His attention had
been called to the prevailing beliief
here that Mr. Roosevelt was determined
to secure Ihe nomination for
himself, and thai his power to do so
; was undisputed among practical politicians,
and that his nearest friends
and associates, though claiming that
Mr. Tnft would be nominated on the!
firs! ballot, were without exception
deploring that gentleman's unavailability
and the impossibility of his
election, in the meanwhile avowing
their conviction that Mr. Roosevelt
alone ?ould carry his party through.
"T hear nothing else," the senator
said, "but I do not think there is
much in il. You see, Mr. Roosevelt
has always been a very young man.
( His body matures, but His mnid is
jus! Ihe same as it was when lie came
f out of Harvard. All the things that
ho does are the ebullitions of an ii
reprcssible boyhood, and no matter t
what age ho may attain ho will
main the same. Mr. Choate, the load
er of the New York bar, gained thi
conception of him over ten years age
I recollect that in a moment of im
pulsive admiration he once apostroph
izptf him as 'Roosevelt, the oternn
boy!' That is precisely what ho is
a boy in mind, with all a boy's veh
emence and instantaneity of decisioi
and all of youth's glorious privilcg
of dispensing with tlie teaching of ex
perience. We must not be too im
patient with him. Indeed, 1 do no
know anybody whom 1 envy as mucl
as I do Mr. Roosevelt.
"Like all of us. Mr. Uoosevelt i
subject to the law of compensations
and the penalty to which it impose
in his case is vanity. After all, van
ity is a mixed affliction, since its dis
advantages have t<? be shared bv oth
ers. However intense may be Mi
Hoosevel t's desire to succeed himsel
in the presidency, and ohvisously th
J idea completely obsesses him, as i
I naturally should. Ii is vanity closes th
1 door to possibility. For liis vanit;
j does not blind Mr. Roosevelt. It i
I not of that kind, lie sees more clear
ly tliiin perhaps any disinterested ob
server what liis own portion is am
in what relation be stands to all tli
circumstances that affect or contra
him.
"My dear sir. I have never knowi
a man in public life who entertainei
so few illusions about himself as Mi
i Uoosev ell. While this clamor abou
j another term is to him a sort o
ecstasy, it does not for a momen
warp liis judgment. lie knows pre
I cisely what the relationv is betweei
Ibis refusal to serve another term am
I the public or supposed public desir
j that be should be re-elected. No on
| understood so well as Mr. Hoosevel
11be profound significance of .Judg
Brewer's expression 'playing hid
and seek with the American people.
I Mr. Roosevelt did not need that rea
jurist's friendly intimation. He ha
known all along where he stood.
' "A man in popular relations will
his fellow men may allow himself al
sorts of attitude regarding his person
al conduct. It is astonishing to wha
extremities he may go and incur n<
serious prejudice just as our socia
system tolerates all sorts of tamilia
human derelictions and visits then
with its indignation and rcsentmen
only when the law or the police tak
official cognizance of them. So Mi
Roosevelt, his coyness with the nomi
nation and the fascinating peril of hi
relations with Mr. Tnft are (lie cav
iare of all contemporary political dis
eussion and furnish the spectacle o
the moment. No one quite so well a
Mr. Roosevelt himself knows wha
would be the consequences of hi
I abandoning his attitude of self-abnc
| gation.
j "Since the night of election in 11)0
| Mr. Roosevelt's post of renuneiatioi
has been the most seductive thing tha
the American public has ever beei
I subjected to. Coupled with his dail,
i procedure and faculty for the specta
j cnlar it has served to dim and to ob
sure all other political pretensions ii
I any other quarter whatever until th
1 conditions obtain which you see. tn
day. But Mr. Roosevelt has no illus
lions. He knows that the very pcopl'
I who are now the loudest, and the mos
insistent in demanding his caiulidae;
would, if he yielded, be the swifles
j to condemn and the most merciless n
their resentment.
"The delusion which contemplate
the Chicago convention as a prodiga
celebration at which the fatted Taf
is to be killed' in Mr. Roosevelt's lion
[or has its practical and attractive sid
for everybody except the propose
beneficiary. He may not have mucl
sense, but bis intuitions are marvel
ously accurate, and therefore there I
no more danger of bis appropriate
the nomination than that you or
will.
"/Both bis renunciations look negli
gible enough in the curious light o
unreality and insinevrvry, which b
has so artfully thrown upon then
One might almost say that the pul
lie has either forgot I en them or b
common consent repudiated then
Bui Mr. "Hoosevel 1 knows what a dc
sfrnctive vitality they would posses
the very moment he abjured then
Mv ifear sir. he has not the fainle?

understands, liis vanity is too we

spectacle of lofty moral rennnciafio
which he will present to an idolatrou
multitude when ho finally puts awa
the nroffered crown.
"He will see to il that il is pro I
fered though. Never fear for that
and if llie attendant circumstancc
j are not edifying and deliriously ii
spiring it will not be from lack o
forethought or rehearsal. The tbir
