SOUTH U
UEAOTICKET
Two Big Dailies Sound
Sentiment For
Candidates.
Washington, Hept. 23.—Canvasses
made by the New York Times and the
Chicago Tribune on the sentiments of
Democrats and Republicans toward
presidential candidates show Interest
ing results.
The canvass by The Times of the
sentiment among the Democrats of the
•'solid South** toward the nomination
of W. J. Rryan as the party leader In
the next presidential campaign shows a
wavering In the lines. The demand for
a Southern man as head of the ticket,
usually made at this preliminary stage
of a campaign, is again strong In many
parts of the South, while In others 1s
•anyone but Bryan," because of Ills
two defeats.
Roosevelt sentiment creeps out In
some of the replies to The Time
qulrles, one Democrat predicting that
the president. If he consented to run
again, "would spilt the solid South wide
open." . ,
Another Democrat harks hack to
Cleveland ns a possibility, while
Hoke Smith gets Georgia's support.
Alabama suggests Hobson and IT. H.
Grunt. Johnson, Olney n^d Folk also
get nominated. §
The canvass of Republican sentiment
made by the C’hlcngo Tribune shows
that as the most active candidate in the
Republican ranks and with the support
of President Roosevelt first choice Is
given to Secretary Taft.
This was expected, but the most
striking feature of the canvass is the
strength shown by Governor Hughes.
He Is made an overwhelming second
choice and state lenders generally ex
press the opinion that If the convention
makes Taft the nominee Governor
Hughes should be the party’s candidate
for vice president for the strength he
would add to the ticket.
Many Republicans still express a
preference for Roosevelt In the hope
of his becoming a candidate. Cannon,
Fairbanks, Knox. LaFollette, Root, For.
aker and C’ortelyou all find sufficient
support to warrant putting them In the
list of possibilities.
