AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
Washington. May 24. (Special Cor
respondence). The democratic policy
of postponing embarrassing problems
is illustrated in the failure to pass
any kind of revenue legislation up to
the present time, notwithstanding the
depleted condition of the treasury and
the certainty that a large increase in
expenditures will be an incident of
legislation enacted at the present ses
sion. "After the convention” is the
word that has now gone out in
answer to questions as to the time
when revenue measures will be taken
up. The demoerates realize that the
storm will break over their heads
when they begin to pass the bills
that impose additional taxes, and
they are putting off the unpleasant
task as late as possible in the hope
that something will happen to divert
public attention or give them some
plausible explanation for the levying
of direct taxes on the American peo
ple instead of taxing the products of
the foreigner, as was done under re
publican administrations.
Last wTeek, President Wilson’s
week-end trip on the presidential
yacht Mayflower extended from Fri
day until Tuesday instead of Friday
until Monday. This was taken as an
intimation that both foreign and do
mestic problems require less of the
president’s attention than formerly.
The usual week-end trip extends from
Washington down the Potomac and
Chesapeake Bay to Fortress Monrjs
and Norfolk.
One of the encouraging signs for
republicans this year is the small
number of contests that will be pre
sented before the National committee
at the Chicago convention. Four years
ago, several hundred seats wrere con
tested. This year there will be only
44 claimed by rival delegations and
the issues are purely local, involving
no questions that will arouse antago
nisms in the committee or in the con
vention. Four years ago the split in
the republican party had its begin
ning in the fight over contested dele
gations. This year none of the presi
dential aspirants nor his friends care
anything about the contests.
it is frequently remarked with grati
fication by republican leaders that
there is not the slightest antagonism
among the aspirants for the presi
dential nomination at Chicago. Nolh
ing unkind is being said by one as
pirant or his friends against any
other candidate. As a consequence,
all the defeated aspirants will find
it perfectly easy to fall in line in sup
port of the nominee. There will be
no hard feelings against the winner,
no adverse criticisms for the losing
candidates to regret. There has not
been in twenty years a campaign so
free from personalities as this. All
of which is discouraging to the demo
crats, for they realize that they won
through republican dissension in 1912
and stand little chance in 1916 against
a solid party.
if reports are true, there will be
some fur flying around the eapitol
when the president tries to put over
his shipping bill. Already there are
rumors of hostility in the democratic
camp, and the opponents in his party
on this proposition are making no
bones of saying that this present pet
policy of the administration will meet
the same fate as the Philippine bill,
if he is depending on democratic
votes to put it over.
A democratic member of- the house,
disgusted with the way things are
moving along, says that congress is
not “marking time,” but is absolutely
wasting time. “Why,” he said: “we
are not even doing as much as
'marking time.’ ”
A prominent republican from West
Virginia, who visited the eapitol since
the recent congressional election in
the second district said: “We shall
elect a solid republican delegation to
congress from our state. What hap
pened the other day is a forerunner
of what is coming. We shall also
elect a republican United States sena
tor and our state ticket. West Vir
ginia republicans are united and they
are for progress, protection and
prosperity.”
WHAT IS WISEST?
A progressive editor, writing in
Collier’s Weekly says it is reported
that Senator Penrose is willing to ac
cept the Roosevelt candidacy if that
should be the wisest thing politically.
We do not doubt that this is true.
In fact, the statement is axiomatic.
Mr. Penrose has no monopoly of such
an opinion. All republicans bold to it.
■ wilin' i iifMiwiw i ■■wpww mmi
“ . —-- > — ^ ' |
We all want to do the wisest thing at;
Chicago.
Nobody now can tell what the wis
est thing is. A dozen honorable and
able men will strive for the Chicago I
nomination. Anyone of them is worthy
of it. but who will assert, a fortnight
before the convention meets, that this,
that or the other man is the wisest
choice? The^e has been no consul
tation among the men who must make
the nomination. Very few state dele
gations, even, have met for confer
ence.
Therefore, it seems to us. that the
wisest thing politically is to wait un
til the convention assembles, to hear
then the reasons why the partisans of
the various candidates think th«ir
man is the best to choose, to weigh
the probabilities of the campaign
which will follow, to adjust such dif
ferences as may appear, and then to
nominate the man who appears most
likely to attract all the voting ele
ments which are opposed to the con
tinuance of democratic rule.
Washington is whispering that the
Brandeis nomination may be with
drawn from the senate and that Samu
el Untermeyer of New York will be
named for the vacancy which now ex
ists on the bench of the supreme
court. The president is said to be
lieve that the senate will hardly re
ject two court nominees in succes
sion. thus recognizing that objection
jwill be made to Untermeyer in almost
as active a form as in Brandeis case.
The president, as a historian, must be
aware, however, that two successive
refusals to confirm judges are not
without precedent. In 1893 President
Cleveland tried in vain to put William
B. Hornblower on the snpreme court
and when that nomination failed, he
tried, with equal failure, to give the
place to Wheeler H. Peekham. When
the latter was rejected. Mr. Cleveland
named Edward D. White of Louisi
anna, then a senator, and now the
Chief Justice. For a scholar in poli
tics, Mr. Wilson is frequently very
dull regarding historical precedents.
But there is one precedent, however,
which will shortly be called to his
mind very forcibly, the preedent that
no democrat has succeeded himself
in the presidency since the republi
can party came into being. Recurring
to Untermeyer, it must be admitted
that there are many strong personal
reasons why Mr. Wilson should be
eager to recognize him.
