II Roosevelt should be defeated In
November 1t will be because OF factional
lights in the Republican party in such
states as Illinois and Wisconsin. Su-
pFeme selfshness, with personal amb.-
tons and animosities have more to do
with the splits that effect the party in
these states than any question Of high
principle and of party policy upon pub
lie questions. This line of inter-party
Wrangling has been fatal to Democratic
success for many years and Republicans
ought to be wise enough to profit by the
example.
