ka will make his third race for the presidency ot the United States with Worth Kern of Indiana as his running If the Nebraskan be that perseverance will prevail and there Is luck in odd numbers these two theories will be upset next Prophecies that the Bryanite un from Washington have it that ho gave up the ambition solely because he be came convinced it would be ing to should the latter succeed him n the White People would have said that Roosevelt was being president bj Aud the more he thought about the more it appeared that no matter whal of activity he the same charge would still bo Thou came the Idea of the tig game tin Were he to go to Africa and stay for a people could not well say he was meddling with affairs at Wash That is should his friend succeed him in the White Roosevelt will take him out of the and beyond reach of the telegraph and ot and suspicion will be re moved from the field of Republican It has been asserted that the selec tion of Sheldon as treasurer of the campaign committee was with the de liberate intention to give publicity to the campaign Shel don will be governed by the law of New which demands full publi and for that reason the announce ment of

convention was passing Conrad was not serious ly figured as a contender for one mo seating of Guffey and his asso and the treatment accorded other prominent party who failed to fall in will be the cause of the defeat of Bryan next are heard on every The proph ecy regarding his defeat is all but it will not be because he steam Guffey and a few other democratic It will be because the majority of the American people have too much judgment to be misled Into pinning their faith to a whose career shows the readiness to Cy from sound reforms into cry whose dogmatic declarations as the burden of gold and the bene ficence of sliver have been proved by experience to be emanations of silli ness and somewhat less than half baked knowledge of monetary mat ters while professing persuaded democratic sena tors to vote the way expansionists wanted them and whose resem blance to the weather vane has re cently been illustrated by his cacy of government ownership ant prompt abandonment of it he found that it would cost him Import ant It has been too well that large number of people in this country regard Bryans glibness In sup porting and then dropping nostrums like free silver and government ship as evidence of espousing the cause of the If there are enough voters of that they wil elect him president regardless what he docs the Pennsylvania banker or other backers of democracy We do not think for one minute that Bryan supporters are strong to put their idol in the White even though the support o the labor vote will be asked for b on the strength of the fact tha Messrs Gompers and Mitchell df have a finger In the pie in framing thi plank ot the platform of party organization In the matter of on is to tele hone daily with a but Us regulation Is not yet in force for STATE POLICE COMMISSION The fight between some of the dis charged policemen of Helena and the city administration has assumed state wide Importance as a result of the decision of Judge of Boze who heard arguments in an ae by the former policemen o the mayor to reinstate the judge holding that the state commission enacted by the ast session of the Montana and under the provisions of hich the sought to regain heir to he While we have not received a copy the decision and are unable to com ment upon its we pre ume that some effort will be made o have it reversed and that it will be to the state supreme While the state at large has cally no interest in the quarrel be ween the former policemen and the mayor of it is interested in he state police commission law as a decision that it is lonal would effect tbe police forces of all Montana cities and place tiem again under the baneful influence of which it was hoped the new The police lav is an ex It was designed to eliminate politics from the police de in Montana by plac ng them under civil Under its ifi cities of the first examinations ot applicants for the police force are held before a rolice composed of three publicity than that afforded by mere platform It is true the Republican platform Is silent on tho subject of campaign fund publicity but the republican proposition to have publicity without a Sederal statute goes a step farther toward the end members passing the forming a list from wnl a ihi pointees to chooses appoint AFRICAN Reports from Oyster Bay picture President Roosevelt happy as a schoo boy planning for his years big gam hunt in It Is said he is read ing all the books about cai lay hands and who have hunted on the Dark alway find the latchstring out at Sagamore Grizzly bears and mountain lions and even gray wolves of th Senate have heen forgotten while Mr Roosevelt dreams of tigers an But happy as are the anticipation of the president it Is safe to say tha down at Virginia Hot Springs there i a portly gentleman who shares every thrill of joy at the thought of a year in the African jun Judge Taft Is just as anxious the president shall go to Africa as the president possibly can be to Taft expects to be president himself after next Fourth of That goes without And when he is he wants to be presi dent all More than he will want the American people and the world at large to know that there Is no power behind the throne business about his Possessing finch expectations and such it appears to Judge Taft entirely and appropriate that Roosevelt should efface himself for a year or so by hunting big game in the wilds of Rather remarkable is tho feeling that he would sort of he in the way after March and he fully sympa with Judge Tafts feeling In the Indeed it would be a perfectly safe hot that the two men have talked the matter over frankly and the frank ness of their talk Is very largely re sponsible for the projected African H Is probable that neither the presi dent nor Taft would exactly relish hearing their refer red to as the Damon and Pythias busi but It is undeniably true that there have been few instances in American public life where two strong and vigorous men so thoroughly un ono Their friend ship began years ago when both were much younger men art civil service commis and solicitor They were each others com and tho bonds then formed be came stronger with the it is admits that no long cherished to eo from tho tollio Capitol an a senator from New ments being for good or so long as the appointee properly per forms his required duties and removal results only from resignation or after trial and conviction by the police com In cities of the other classes are made by the the only difference being the elimina tion of the The law assures policemen a continuance in their positions just so long as they properly perform their duties and has therefore been the means of improv ing the standard of the police depart ments of the It Is sincerely to be regretted if as a result ot a petty squabble between former members of the Helena police force and some city officials a has been found by which a court has been persuaded to declare the law The bene fits of the law have been so well de that the wisdom of its enactment Is The decision should be appealed and if tha court of final jurisdiction declares it then the next legislature should be to a FIGHT IN THE MIDDLE The leaders in both the large po parties seem to think that the chief seat of war in the coming cam will be in the middle The apathy displayed by New York dem in their support of Bryan and the nomination of Kern as the candidate for vice as well as tho program laid out in Illi where It is said John the great labor leader may be a can for makes this ap Mitchell will be approached in an effort to induce him to go on the state ticket so as to catch the votes in while Kern was undoubtedly placed on the ticket to strengthen the party in In But Indiana will prove hope lessly republican and the of Illinois will not be easily so that the plans of the democratic leaders are apt to go That there Is no hope for Bryan in New York is shown by the attitude of the party leaders In the empire Tammany sore over treatment given her candidate for the vice presidency at while the up state republicans do not like the Bryan Judge whom it is said is for the is now tour ing the west and has laid for a pleasure trip extending until so that he will not do much for the tick Several other New Yorker demo crats are doing Dave Hil is in As a result of these con it would not be surprising i the vote of Taft in New York proved a record breaker In order to be elected Bryan will have to carry New York or a number of the large states of the mid die There is not much proba of him doing would convince the thinker that ther is but little for the Bryan enthusiasts who say be to has their claims They might a well cease about what state he will carry this year he has no carried In the for the indlca

set afloat by his that Taft might yield to pressure from a few Ohio politicians and throw the weight of his to another than It was inconceivable tn those who knew the candidate that he could at once show ingratitude and the political mistake of declin ing to approve of the selection of the man who more tban any other made a on the first ballot possible for the former secretary of The friends of the candidate oppos ed to Taft have borne witness to the clean political methods employed in the campaign preceding the The proof of the efficiency of his work Is In the The Republican candidate has done the grateful and the wise thing in giving recognition to the Hitchcock methods and No better choice Is possible for treasurer of the National than George presi dent of the Union League club of

calls the identity of in the American campaign Tho contests under the two plat is largely a question of per of Tafts final however seems to be almost Certain it Is that Bryans v attracts much
