NOT SEEKING A NOMINATION, He Merely Wants Republican Platform to Be So Radical Democrats Will Be | Forced to Name Conservative Candi- date—Some of the Strong Insurgents , Object to Oyster Bay Man. By ARTHUR W. DUNN. | Washington, May 4.— [Special.J— Theodore Roosevelt may be down and out of politics, but such is not the opin- ion of many Republicans with whom he has been consulting during the last few months. ! Men who have influence in public af- fairs are sent for from time to time, and they have listened to Roosevelt discourse on what he thinks should be done. Some of them agree with him on many things, but the radical views of Roosevelt on several questions have been a little more than several have been able to swallow. Now, it ts not to be inferred that Roosevelt is trying to get a nomination, but he is trying to make the next platform radical enough so that there will have to be a Democratic conservative candidate. At present there seems to be a race to see which of the two parties will be the more radical in its platform decla- rations next year—that is, if the pro- | gressives of the Republicans can have | their way, and it appears that a radi- cal platform is all they can get out of the national convention, for it is con- ceded that President Taft will be re nominated. { Roosevelt Making Converts | In his own way it may be said that | Roosevelt is making converts of many ;Mmen who are reckoned now as regular | and have no particular affiliation with ‘the insurgents. Another curious thing is that the very strong insurgents are ‘not particularly pleased with Roose- | welt. He has done many things which they think stamp him as a “trimmer.” mins, La Follette and Bourne, the most pronounced leaders of the pro- ‘gressive faction in the senate. But there are many who are not quite so radical who are listening to and tak- | ing counsel with the ex-president. Grounds Are Wasted. | So far as the enjoyment of the av- erage legislator is concerned, the capi- tol grounds are wasted. At Ottawa ‘the beautiful grounds surrounding the ‘parliament buildings are used by mem- bers for recreation and pleasure. Here in Washington, although the capitol grounds are very fine, it is seldom that | @ member of either house is seen stroll- |ing about them or in any way taking |in their beauty. If a member of congress does not re- proceedings he is almost sure to be in the cloakroom or in his committee room working. The capitol might just ‘as well be in a portion of the city | closely surrounded by buildings. Public Building Reaction. ask themselves about the economy in |so many public buildings. The time was when it was claimed that it would be economy for the government to own jits buildings instead of paying rent. | But that theory is now exploded. | “It costs more,” said Congressman Johnson of South Carolina, “to sup- ply the care, heat, light, fuel, janitor ‘service and other expenses for a pub- lic building in one town that I know game care of four different banks. The public buildings are really ex- pensive.” | Adamson Sarcastic. Congressman Mann made a most in- teresting speech against the Demo- cratic free list bill and disturbed quite ja number of the majority. But Con- gressman Adamson followed in a speech which set them at ease. The Georgian was sarcastic. “When I saw Mann in action,” he said, “I thought it was all up with us. jthat he had better withdraw the bill and give up. But Oscar seemed cool ‘and said he guessed he'd let the de bate run on for a few days. That Father reassured me, and now I think jwe have completely recovered from ithe attack of Mann and will go ahead F pass the bill.” Why He Was Outside. Congressman Prince of Illinois was ut in the capitol grounds with a con- jstituent one day when the house was in session. “What are you doing out here?” he was asked. “Don’t you know that Ollie James of Kentucky is jtalking in the house?” | “That’s why I’m out here,” sadly re- ‘plied Prince. “If you listen closely you can hear him here.” | James does talk very loud. Respect For the President. During the discussion of the Cana- LP reciprocity bill in the house many ‘epublicans were obliged to take di- tly opposite grounds to the presi- lent, but they were generally respect- 1 about it. “The president was mis- Ned,” they said, or “the president was misinformed,” or a like expression. ‘That was in debate. In private con. iversation some of them said things lwhich were more pointed and less re- spectful. ; Such is the opinion of men like Cum- | | main in the chamber listening to the | | Members of congress have begun to | about than it does to maintain the | ‘1 went over and told Oscar Underwood | NO CHANCE FOR MANY BACKERS) —TARIFF BILLS Democrats Know Farmers’ Free List Is Lost. ‘POSSIBLE TO REOUCE DUTIES sures Thus Far Presented In the House .Tend to Solidify the Repub- licans—Senator Lodge Again Chair- man of the Immigration Committee, a Place He Quit Years Ago. By ARTHUR W. DUNN. Washington, cerity of the Democrats in the method they have adopted in regard to tariff dor that the Democrats do not believe that there is the slightest possibility ef the senate passing or the president | signing the farmers’ free list bill. Twenty years ago the Democrats, | house, passed “popgun” tariff bills, | Just as they are now doing. It is true | but it cannot be said that they won because of those bills. If the Democrats are not sincere in know it. | ble that a tariff bill moderately reduc- ing present duties could be framed which would receive Republican sup- port in the senate and be passed. But solidify the Republican factions. Back to Immigration. An interesting phase of the senate | committee assignments is that Sena- | tor Lodge resumes the chairmanship jof the committee on immigration, which he relinquished many years chairman of foreign relations, but Senator Cullom does not seem inclined to let go of that place. Lodge is one of the men long in service with good committee assign- ments, but without any good chair- manships. He is now fourth in point of service in the senate, and yet he is not chairman of any important com- | mittee. Gallinger is third in service j and is chairman of the District of | Columbia committee. Nelson is sev- |enth in rank and is chairman of pub- Me lands. Cinamp’s Timepiece. Every day just before calling the house to order Speaker Clark takes out his watch and compares it with the clock opposite him in the hall of the house. “I have been trying for years to get | a timepiece which would keep time,” remarked Champ to a friend “It seems to me that every watch I ever had was either too fast or too slow or something was the matter with it.” But the speaker is never late in calling the house to order. For more than thir- ty years Henry Neal, the messenger of the speaker’s room, has notified the | speaker when he should enter the house. If any speaker has failed to be on time it was not Neal’s fault. Introducing the Ohio Idea. Senator Pomerene in the senate and | Congressman Goeke in the house pro- pose to advance the Ohio idea in deal- ing with public funds. They have in- troduced identical bills for the loan of public money to the highest bidder in- | stead of to chosen banks selected by | | the secretary of the treasury, as at | i present. Now the government receives | 1 per cent interest. Under the new | scheme it is likely to get at least 3 | per cent. Didn’t Reach Florida. A group of men were sitting around a table enjoying a course of grape- | fruit, “I have recently been in the | | tropical islands,” said one, “and I saw great quantities of this luscious food rotting on the ground. There is a tar- | iff duty of $1.50 per box on it, and that | is enough to keep much of it from | coming to this country. I observe that | grapefruit does not appear in the new | free list bill. Tariff reform did not reach as far south as Florida.” Mann's Caustic Comment. “This house is organized for econ- omy,” remarked Congressman Mann, | | 1 May 5.—[Special.]— | There may be a question of the sin- | legislation. It must be said in all can- | that they won in the next election, | the present instance the people will | Moreover, it is quite possi- | the bills thus far presented tend to | |ago.
