He will completely answer the speech of Elihu Root and give the country something to think about for the next four months to come, Those politieiann and statesmen who are worrying about the intentions of President Roosevelt in 1908, need not loose heart. What the voters of the country will do to him in 1904 will not leave a fragment for him to ever dictate another national convention. Additional interest will be added to the St. Louis national convention by the determination of Tammany to invade the convention and impiess the -delegates with the importance of I nominating Mayor McClellan for the presidency. Judge Harman, of Cincinnati, is also holding himself in readiness to be a receptive candidate. Thus it will be seen that next week much will be doing in the political world the making of the next president of the United States.

The name of the Hon. Samuel M. Ralston is again being seriously considered with the democratic gubernatorial nomination, and in this the Democrat takes an unpardonable pride. Mr. Ralston is one of the most gifted democrats in the state, worthy and able to be governor of Indiana or president of the United St&tes. He is ever a patriot and a democrat and a-’chief executive would add dignity and honor to the state his party and Lin; ML It has been many years since the* nomination of a presidential ticket aroused so little enthusiasm among republicans as has the nomination of Roosevelt and Fairbanks. One reason for this, perhaps, was the absence of a contest at the convention, and another is, the whole proceedings at Chicago were of the machine order. The bosses Lad arranged the program and it was carried out to the letter. A little enthusiasm was created at the convention through the efforts of several popular leaders and orators, but the applause wafi more In the way of personal compliments to them than to the candidates to be named. All over the country the lack of interest and enthusiasm is apparent owing to the unpopularity of the candidates and a growing distrust of Roosevelt. — Columbia City Post.
