thing else. II is now an absolute GER
tainty that Taft will receive the nomi-
nation on the first ballot, and I predict
a scene Of enthusiasm which will be un-
paralleled. There is little doubt. Of
course, that Mr. Bryan will also be
nominated. Some Democrat has got to
go down In defeat, and il might as well
be Bryan, for he is used to it.

Chicago, June ll.-Old-tlme convention

Chicago ILL.,. June 1.-THE thrd-term
ghost is stalking through the hotel lob
bies and candidates headquarters.
The men who want to sea Roosevelt in
the White House four years more are
still hoping that something will break
in the convention that may result in a
stampede to the standard Of President
Roosevelt.
The Roosevelt boomers are persistent
in telling the "allies" that the only hope
Of beating Taft is to throw the nomina-
tion TO Roosevelt.
1t has gone so FAR that the Roosevelt
Second Term League" has opened head
quarters here. F. L. Bnger is at its
head. and has circulated a lot Of Roose-
welt literature
Not Surc of Recollection.
There is claimed 10 be a certain gath
ering OF Republican Congressmen who
do not feel absolutely sure OF reelection.
These men are the kind that slide into
the Office on the tail OF some star who
leads TIE party. They have IL figured
out that from the present outlook, II
Mr.. Taft slides into Office at all. II will
not be Ike comet, and there may be
no tail for them 10 cling to. These men
claim 20 control about 200 delegates. who
will sit IN the convention.
According to the information that is
coming to the surface in this connection.
these Congressman are working steadily
10 bring about a situation that will result
IN stampede TO Roosevelt. II they have
10 start il themselves throug.. their dele
gates, hoping for a landslide If they can
start the ball rolling.
Ride Into office.
They figure that II Roosevelt Is n)mi-
mated. enough pressure can be brought 10
bear on him to accept as a popular
candidate and then they can sit back and
smile and ride in with him.
The Taft managers laugh at these
stories. The one which ticklcs them the
most is the one that there VIII be a
stampede to Roosevelt. That makes thcm
roar Still. there arc other candidates for
the same Office Mr.. Taft seeks. and Mr..
Roosevelt does not take the story mora
seriously.
One leader among the allies at least
has decided views on the subject He
said
Mr.. Tafts nomination is far from as
suTCd The talk about a Roosevelt STAN
pede is more serious than many think.
These Congressman don't want Taft be-
cause he could not help them win,
