contest as a candidate against Mayor
Tom Johnson. He has won high re
gard as a mombor of congress'stahds
close to Secretary Taft in statesman
ship stature, and has a most promis
ing future in national politics. On
tho other hand, Cleveland under Tom
Johnson has become the best, or one
of the best governed cities in the
United States, aiid'if he is willing
to takq another term it ought to bo
givon to him. Tho private street
railway interests of the city, however,
are working tooth and nail' to get
rid of Johnson, and if Burton enters
tho light it will be rather as the tool
of those interests than in response
to any large and genuine public need.
Whether, then, he should win or
lose, tho result must prove damaging
to his political prospects. Spring

The Lewis Stuyvesant ChanlerBoom
For what it is worth and for the
information of Commoner readers
the following, from the New York
Press, is reproduced:
Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler, lieuten
ant governor of New York, is a pro
nounced candidate for the democratic
nomination foV tho presidency. His
canvass is under way in various sec
tions of the country, and it will be
pushed vigorously. Chanler's friends
say he is in the race to stay until
the finish, and believe confidently
that he will be the choice of his
party's national convention. Proof
that came to the Press last night
makes it pretty certain that men of
financial and political weight have
combined in many states to bring
about Chanler's nomination. Many
of the interests that were for Judge
Parker three years ago are in the
new combine, and emissaries are
"out on the road" doing missionary
work.
Plausible arguments are being ad
vanced for Chanler, and reports
from a confidential source are that
many democrats of influence, who
do not wish to sea either Bryan or
Hearst nominated, are rallying to the
lieutenant governor. The extensive
belief that New York in all prob
ability will furnish the next repub
lican candidate for the presidency,
also is having an effect for Chanler,
as his advance agents point out vthat
he polled nearly 22,000 more votes
than Hearst in the last state election
and within s35,000 'of Governor
Hughes' total vote. It had been in
tended that New York should be the
first to make the formal announce
ment of the Chanler candidacy, but
some of his friends in other states
were premature, and in Louisiana,
Virginia and Tennessee expressions
in his favor already have been pub
lished. John Fox, president of the Demo
cratic club in this city, of which
Chanler is a member, last night gave
out a prepared interview declaring
emphatically for Chanler's nomina
tion. It was said at the democratic
club that Charles F. Murphy of Tam
many Hall, "Big Tim" Sullivan and
.State Chairman Conners. also prefer
Chanler. Democrats conspicuous in
the financing of the Parker canvass
also are mentioned as being among
his sponsors.
Mr. Chanler has been invited to
speak Jn Georgia and other southern
states and he will visit the south in
a few months. None of the. demo
cratic leaders in this state, it is
learned, is at heart for Bryan's nom
ination, while many prefer Chanler
to Hearst. It is understood that one
reason for springing Chanler thus
early is to embarrass Hearst, who
was responsible for Chanler's nomin
ation for lieutenant governor and
who has praised him since in his
speeches.
"How can Hearst consistently op
pose Chanler?" a local democrat
asked last night. "Chanler beat him
at the polls and can get many dem
ocratic votes outside New York which
never would go to Hearst."
Another democrat said that if
Hearst were wise and wished to
make sure of Bryan's undoing, he
would indorse Chanler's canvass
promptly and .drive Bryan out of the
race, for Bryan's friends have con
tended all along that Bryan would
decline to be a candidate if substan
tial opposition should develop against
him before convention time. A con
spicuous democrat from the south
said:
"We want to .win the presidency,
and if New York democrats really
are on the level for Chanler, and
believe he. can poll more votes than
anybody else in New York, we will
nominate him and take another
chance, although the last campaign
with Parker of New York at fh
head of the ticket was a sad disati
pointment." U1S31'
Chanler's family ancestors came
from the south and his brother WM
liam Astor Chanler, recently ,!
chased a largo stock farm in the ohm
grass sectfc-ii of Virginia. Chanler
is a man of wealth, and it is appar
ent thus early that he will have a
well filled campaign "bar'l" at his
command.
"Big Tim" Sullivan was asked by
a friend if it were true that he was
for Chanler for president. "That's
the goods," he replied.
"What, after you were named for
chairman of the democratic national
committee by Bryan's spokesman
Harry Walker?" was ventured.
"Big Tim" laughed and replied
"Well,- I never would .be national
chairman if I had to wait for Bryan
to be nominated again, for Chanler
will be the. democratic nominee."
John Fox in his interview said
that he believed New York was a
democratic state and that the dem
ocratic lieutenant governor ' would
carry it next year. "The extraordi
nary run of Mr. Chanler last year
under the circumstances, and his
straightforward course as presiding
officer of the state senate, has given
him national importance," he said.
"The more he is considered by demo
crats everywhere the more I find his
availability for president is recog
nized. His nomination seems to be
the true splution of the problem now
confronting the national democracy."
Mr. Fox then called attention to
the' fact that Mr. Chanler assisted
Governor Hughes in the session of
the legislature, upon the principle
that "he best serves the democratic
party who best serves the interest
of the people."
"Great encouragement," he con
tinued, "had CQme to the democratic
party, and especially to its younger
members, from Mr. Chanler's
course." Then Mr. Fox deftly said
that of course Mr. Chanler was in no
way responsible for the defeat of the
head of the democratic state ticket
last' year, but that Chanler's elec
tion, on the other hand, in his opin
ion, was proof that-"New York is a
democratic state when true demo
crats are given preference, and the
issues are genuinely democratic and
defined in the platform."
Unhampered, as he would be as tho
party candidate for president, Mr.
Fox said Chanler would carry the
state by a good majority. Mr. Fox
then told how Chanler's father had
selected him for his secondvin a duel
which he was anxious to fight in Re
construction days, but which never
took place.
