dent Roosevelt is tendered another nomination in spite of his .protests,

that the chances are he cannot fail to accept. But if it should be deemed

impolitic to do this or the president should demand that he be not renominated and make it absolutely plain

that he would not accept even if the nomination should be tendered to him, then those who have supported the president and have felt duty-bound to

insist on the carrying out of his ideas, must feel it incumbent upon them to

tako up the cause of the man whom he selects. As it appears now, his choice will be Secretary Taft. A man who has the courage to go into his

vise tne republicans to vote lor a

Taft did when he went into the Buck eye state to fight Boss Cox of CIncin nati. Is certainly a man that all sensi

ble persons of whatever party can af

ford to tie to.

But tho forces of corruption and greed, the corporations and hirelings of great corporations are strongly en

trenched In Ohio. The state machine

there, excellently manipulated by For

aker and Dick is more opposed to Taft than it is to the democratic party itself

and will not hesitate to sidetrack Mr.

Taft's presidential boom If that be pos

slble. It Is much to be doubted that Taft, even with the administration's support, will be able to control a solid delegation from Ohio. In such case it

would apparently devolve upon tho delegations from other states to rally

to the administration's support in back

ing the candidacy of Secretary Taft.

In New Y'ork the other day Mayor McClellan terminated a lease of a city pier to the Murphy Contracting company, a company with which the Tammany boss Is supposed to be connected. The company leased this pier from the city for thirty years at au annual rental of $1,200, and then charged the city $12,000 a year for the privilege of using a portion of Its own wharf. The lease has twenty years more to run and the city has to pay $50,000 to cancel it. This is the second pier which the city of New Y'ork, by reason of having an honest mayor, has recovered in this way.
