It Is Admitted that Rooevelt's Pull l Purely Personal and Taft It Out of the Running Third Term it not Papular Washlngtoti, Dec., 18. With the next national conventions a year and a half away, the politicians at the capital are already busy with talk and speculations as to the candidates and Isniioa to be put forward In the pres idential sweepstakes of 1908. Parseelng Democrats claim that the chances of Democratic success are far brighter or will be at the next na thnal election than present Indica tions would sent to warrant on the surface. Despite the seeming great popularity of Mr. Hootevelt over the cmi'iy, a popularity acquired largely by his adoption of certain Democrat ic iHillcle. his party lost nearly fifty members In the congressional elec tions last fall and came within a hair's breadth of losing New York. It In Hlnted out that the president's iMipularlty largely personal and lues not extend to his party, nor Is It a iNdltlcal quantity that can be handed down to any other Republi can, for the good and smfUcient rea son that there la no other member nf his par y holding Id view wlir, ran get the nomination. Secretary Taft who for a year or more has lieen regarded ns the hair npiinrent, 'and whom the president has pushed Into the limelight on nil possible occasions, la iegj!ded liera as no longer seriously In tho rui.t.ing. When ho refused to go on tin vjn retne bench is was regarded ns a oer tnlnty he would aspire to the presi dency, but political developments In Ohio, where ho has len brought In opposition to the Kornker-DIck inn chine, have about dlsM)scd of his chances of carrliiK Ids own state, and It Is not thought he will make the effort. I Villi Taft eliminated, the next 1 uioKt likely candidate of the ltcpulill 1 cans must be picked from tho list comprising Fairbanks. Kornker, Can ' non. Hoot and Shaw, with (Jovornor elect Ilughea of New York sometimes mentioned as a possibility. All of these are stand-patters, and repre sent the trusts nud high tariff ele ment of their party hb contra-dlstln-gulslied from Hooseveltlsm. It Is no secret that this element of the He publicans, which Is the stronsest In the control of the party conventions. regard some of the president's recent declarations of policy with almost amazement and will have no auch frills attached to thelc political gar ments If they can help themselves. Hoot Is still In the cabinet, but his dearest friend or worst enemy never ausected him of favoring the income and Inheritance tax. lie gave up a big coro ration law practice for tho distinction of being secretary of state and playing up his chances for the presidency, but a llryanliliiK imlicy is not a part of his programme. Fairbanks s working hard to or ganise in his behalf the manufactur ing and moneyed elements, which Mark Hannn has so well in hand, and being a vy rich man. he can employ very much the same means the late Ohio host) brought Into play to secure delegates. Doth lie and Foroker would bo ontlrely wttlsfactory to "the Interests" and the Ohio sena tor's opiHisition to the rate bill and other Hooseveltian policies may avail him very greatly when the re iMiiind of Itepubllcan sentiment sets In.

I'ncle Joe Cannon also has his eye on the presidency, and It is thought h many shrewd observers to have as got 1 chances for the nomination as , anybody, being acceptable to the Mast as a standpatter and very popular In ' the West as an old fashioned ltepub 1 llcan without herettj' or frills. 1 There Is some talk of course, of Roosevelt as a third term possibil ity, and some ovortealons cranks out In Chicago hav started a third : term league, as ttiy. call It, but the idea la not popular here in Washing ton, even among the Itepubllcan. and Washington la a pretty good place to slse up public sentiment. Most of the men who stay here man age to do so through their ability to keep their ears to the ground. ' Mr. Hoosetelt la powerful in office with his big stick and political leger demain, but towards the end of his term his power over his party will fail 'and It will set up another Idol of a different sort In his place. However should this calculation fall and Mr. Kooaevelt and his jmrty undertake to break all precedents and elect him , for a third term, nn Issue would be afforded the Democrats in his can jdldttcv n.ion which they could sweep the o imtiy. This Is the opinion of ' many Republicans here as well as Democrats. Not even his advocacy of the' In come and inheritance tax, govern ment control of railroads, employers' liability legislation and other Demo cratic policies would save him, for his candidacy would xn emphasize his already startling iKillcy toward cen tralization and supreme power that n revolution of Kpulnr evntlnunt would Inevitably set In against hltu. Mr. itoosevelt has been traveling In Helen league boots since he became master at the Whlto House and ho has Rone along way over tho road be tween Democracy and Cacsartsm. The nowsiaper abroad have nlrend cl. id Hoosevelt as an example that dem ocracy loves n man who can mnstor It ami make It lie at his feet, but per haps they do not know, as ever) one here knows, that the president Is , rapidly Hearing the end of his rope lu the exercise of the latlttidloiis powers he 1ms assumed. , Tho cuiiKress has already begun to micstlun his acts and to turn down his suggestions, evidenced by its re fusal to grant him power to dismiss ' naval olticers at will and the general opposition which confronts his sug gestion to override the rights of states contained In his message on the Japanese Incident lu California, llepuh.lcans as a rule are not stlck- lers for tho constitution, much less I are they given to criticising tho acts ,of a president of their own political iwrty, but every day on hears In de , bate at both ends of the capltol alarming exclamations at the rapid , trend of power In the hands of the 1 president. One expression of this sentiment Is a bill Introduced by Hep teseutativo Iiwden, a Republican of I Illinois, proposing a constitutional I amendment fixing the presidential 'term nt six years and making the j president Ineligible for re-election.
