REPUBLICANS AT SEA
OVER 1912 NOMINATION
Friends of President Taft Believe He Will Make the Run
While Some Believe Tuesdays Election Results
Will Cause Him to Change Mind

Instead Of the question Of who IS to
be nominated by the Republicans for
President in 1872 being settled by the
recent elections and the Democratic
tidal wave. that question is more I'M
settled than It has been in months.
Three months before the election. the
friends Of President Taft were saying
that he would be renOminated with lit
tie doubt. Then Roosevelt made his
Western and Southern trips, and he
was 50 well received that the ROose-
Welt admirers said nothing could stop
his denomination. The New York Re
publican tariff plank, however, stirred
mp feeling against Roosevelt among
Western prOgressives, and to some ex-
tent weakened him in that quarter, and
his enemies in the East have done their
best to lay Republican defeat in New
York and several other States to him.
His strength as a Presidential posi-
biity is not as great as it was when
he concluded his trip to the West early
in September
The elections have raised the ques-
ton whether President Taft can carry
the country in 1912. His friends think
he can do so. but what is Of more i'm
mediate bearing on the question of re-
nomination it is by no means certain
that Mr.. Taft is going to seek renomi-
nation. Some Of his admirers are say
ing now they would not be surprised if
he dropped out Of the field
May Seek An Insurgent.
In progressive quarters there is a lot
Of talk about getting one Of the men
who has made a record as an insurgent
in Congress 10 run. Senator La Toilette
has his following. Senator Cummins
also has many supporters who think
he would make an available candidate.
Had senator Dolliver lived there is no
question he would have had a sub
stantial Presidential boom. Indeed,
there is not much question that the
personal relations between Dolliver and
Roosevelt were such that Roosevelt
would have supported Deliver for
President ahead Of any other man in
the progressive ranks.
When Congress meets there is going
to be a lot Of quiet and informal talk
about this question Of the Republican
Presidential nomination. This will be
the case especially II 1t is not definitely
settled that President Taft wants to
run and is going to be an active candi-
date.
Under any circumstances the insur-
gent wing in Congress is going to exert
IT'S influence IN some other direction.
Ihsst infuence may come around TO
Roosevelt or il may 90 in the direction
Of supporting some of the men who
have led the progressive struggle in
Congress. In that event, there is not
much question the Cummins boom

TWO MORE 1912 HOPES
IN SMOKE OF ELECTION
Cummns of Iowa and La Toilette of Wisconsin Are on
the Public Tongue as Presidential Possibilities.
and They Are Favored by the Stars

Since the elections OF November s.
two members Of the United States Sen
ate are looming up large on the horizon
as presidential possibB ties in 1912. One
IS Senator Albert Baird Cummins, Of
Iowa. who has already announced his
candidacy for the Republican nomina-
ton. and the other is Senator Robert
Ia Toilette. Of Wisconsin
La Toilette VIII receive a larger vote
in the Legislature than has been given
to any Senatorial candidate in many
years. He is regarded as the father Of
insurgency and progressivism in the
Republican party. Notwithstanding this
fact. and his opposition on every hand
in the campaign. ne has been vindi-
Gated, and VIII be sent back TO the Sen
ate for another six years. He may not
be leader OF the prosressiyes, however.
Senator Cummius, VINO embraced the
progressive idea while governor Of
Iowa. after La Toilette had been ham
mering away ar it for many years, has
an ambition 20 succeed Senator Aldrich
as the leader OF the Senate, as a step

IN a contest for the leadership OF the
Senate II is not believed that La Fol-
lette would stand a ghost Of a show.
He has trod upon so many toes that
there is scarcely one Of the old guard
in the upper branch Of Congress but
hates him cordially. They would as
soon think of following him as they
would think Of following John W Kern.
He is feared quite as much as he Is
hated, for La Toilette has a habit Of
going about the country and telling the
voters what he thinks Of their Senator'S
and producing roll calls 70 back up his
assertions For that reason, and be
cause Of his blunt manner OF speech, he
has made himself the most unpopular
