The prophecy has been .made before, and- - If was made by the very men who said , that Mr. Taft would not say anything sharp In his Washington , speech, , Pert of the forecast was fulfilled and It seems likely that the rest of ft will come true in order. The Democrats say that if the president attacks tha'Insurgents he will open wider the breach Ip tbe Republican p&r$y &Q(! make more certain the election of a Democratic house next November. " . Democrats Seem Harmonious,' 4 , While' the Republicans do nof admit that they have any great "confidence in the ability ' of all tbs' factions Of the Democracy , to get - together In one harmonious whole, they are none too certain, for the happenings within the yanks of .the pp position make it seem, at least that the blue sky of peace Is over the .Democratic ranks with no threatening Clouds on the horizon. , It is expected that- soon the members of the Democratic congressional ftSVV.lnto, touch with leading members of tne party in each district so that the so that the needs may be supplied and a campaign on behalf of Democratic candidates may be conducted on lines they think are most likely to lead to success At the recent Jeffersonian dinner in Washington Mr. Bryans letter which has been given wide publicity was read. In a sense it was the element that disturbed tbe equanimity of some of the old line Democrats, but even tbe Republican enemy admits that tbe Democracy acted wisely on tbe occasion by reading the letter, by refraining from making any acrimonious comments and by doing nothing to precipitate factional troubles in any way. The Republicans now know pretty thoroughly the line which the Democrats will follow from this time until November. An attempt will be made to prevent throwing Into the field any past matters of controversy. Tbe Democrats will galTr something by the fact that the report of the currency commission is not to be acted upon until next winter and there will, therefore, be no necessity probably for any sharp interchanges on the currency question in the coming campaign. If debate on this subject were started, the Democrats fear that the silver question, to which Mr. Bryan adverted In his letter to the Jefferson birthday dinners, might bob up once more and create trouble. The tariff of course will be the leading issue and the Democrats already are preparing through the congressional campaign committee to make the most of the subject Cost of Living an Argument. The high cost of living it Is expect-e-i by the Republicans will be used by tbe Democrats as an argument against high tariff. Tbe committee of which Senator Henry Cabot Lodge Is tbe chairman is now Investigating reasons for tbe high cost of living and It may be that when the committees report Is read tbe Republicans will find they bave In It good campaign material to offset the charges of the Democracy that the high price of clothes, food and other things Is due wholly to the tariff. The Democrats, as the Republicans know, will charge that tbe opposition since it has been In control of the house of representatives has run roughshod over the wishes of individual members and In some cases of the majority of the house. This Issue will be Cannonlsm with Mr. Cannon personally eliminated. Democratic stump speakers will promise that in a Democratic house there will be no attempt at one-marule. The leading Democrats in Washington are still at work trying to complete the plan for perfect national that they seem to think has been made possible by tbe pronouncement of John Temple Graves at the Jeffersonian dinner to the effect that the members of the Independence league will come bac- - Into the Democratic fold and will work for Democratic victory. GEORGE CLINTON. RESULT OF PINCH0TS ITRIP . 4 h Several Cabinet Members Anxiously Awaiting President Tafts Speeches;, in May Democratic Leaders Are f Planning for Harmonious Ac- tion In Fall Campaign, t ' y Washington. Friends of the conservation movement in Washington believe that Gifford Plnchot had ofte motive and one only in going abroad to see Theodore Roosevelt Mr. Fiiochot Is wise in things other than woodcraft Advocates of saving the resource say that the former chief forestef knew that if Mr. Roosevelt could be induced to promise to address a conservation meeting and would reiterate bts loyalty to the cause, members pf ' congress now lukewarm, if not absolutely opposed to the administrations conservation bills, would get in line and ' ' tV urge their passage. What the friends of the forest.hr expected has happened, and there is now a strong evident inclination on' the part of members of congress to' give their adherence to President Tafts earnest request that at least twf conservation bills shall be passed at this session. The strong probabilities were a short time ago that both' the(chlef conservation measures woul4sbn' postponed until the next sessfcRtyiC how that Mr. Roosevelt has said,; Aat he did to Mr. Plnchot there is n jWHked bills reawakening of interest In before congress, z. ,lj Republican members Ut with tffiiik .'$S-- y-- 4etn, to My, Rooseyilf jh the people, and while personally a good many of the Republican members were opposed to the conservation bills, they have now concluded that it . would be political folly for them to carry their opposition any farther, and so the prospect is that two of the eight or ten measures, the most important two from the conservationists standpoint, will see the light of passage before congress adjourns. Meet Views of President. The two bills for which hope has sprung anew are those which give the president the power to withdraw lands at any time that he thinks necessary, and the other is one which separates the surface lands from the mineral deposits lying underneath foi the purpose of disposing of the two separately, the idea being to hold the mineral wealth so that the government can lease the right to get It out for the market It is now pretty well agreed both by Democrats and Republicans that in view of the Roosevelt pronouncement of continued loyalty to conservation, President Taft, if he sees any further disposition to neglect the measure, will send in another special message on the subject It seems that this conservation matter which the present president has made the subject of one long message, is going to be dependent in part at least for success upon the still existing Influence of a former president of the United States. Anxious About Taft Speeches. Several members of the cabinet are extremely anxious to know definitely what the tone of President Tafts utterance is to be when he speaks in St. Louis and in Cincinnati and in one or two other places the first week in May. It is said that Attorney General Wickersham is more concerned than any of the other cabinet members over the nature of the president's address to the middle west- erners. Ever since Mr. Wickersham spoke in Chicago and took a course of determined opposition to those Insurgent Republicans who are trying to pick to pieces some of the administrations measures, he has not been entirely happy. It is pretty well understood in Washington that Mr. Wickersham believed implicity it was tbe president's intention to make a speech In Washington on the same night much like the one the attorney general delivered In Chicago. Mr. read the papers the morning following his own address and found that tbe president. Instead of using the club on the members of congress injured. who are supposed to be In opposition in announced is The engagement to his measures, pilled out and waved Alt-haLondon of Lieutenant Reginald an olive branch.
