Hope for denomination.

Mr.. Taft's one hope for renom-
ination rests entirely with Theo-
dore Roosevelt. The former
President alone can break up the
Insurgent movement against a
Taft denominations, and even he
will have to ride the western
plains for many months to- &C.
complish that result, and it is
very doubtful if he will take that
side of the controversy. Mr..
Roosevelt's only speech since the
November disaster was delivered
on December 18th at New Haven.
That speech was largely a reiter-
alton of accepted truisms such as
"the rights of man must be par
amount in a Republic such as
ours" He did say that he was
still a radical, "but / am a radi-
cal who believes that radical
policies should be carried out by
conservatives" Since then he
has been back in his tent. His
natural disposition is to be with
the Insurgents, but Roosevelt is
a man of strong impulse and it
would be as easy to anticipate
him as to regulate the procedure
of a mob. But he is also a prac-
tical man. We have his own
word to the late E. H. Hartman
for confirmation of that fact.
What is there to prevent Theo-
dore Roosevelt from becoming
not only the leader of the lnsur-
gents, as Senator PoindeXter in
dicates, but their candidate for
the Presidency as we'll. Had
Mr.. Roosevelt been successful in
the New York State campaign
there would be much less doubt
as to his position Of leadership
in the 1912 contest. The Repub-
llcan party has four decades Of
MISUNDERSTANDING behind it.
To accept the Insurgents and
Roosevent again it would have to
become a radical. It must cross.
and re-cross it's own tracks. 1t
must disown Taft and Payne and

coed? Can it fail to unload the
brigand crew it is carrying and
succeed? The Republican party
is about to undergo a re-arrange-
ments Of it's ideals. It may take
some years to get results. In|
the meantime an opportunity is
given to Democracy to demon
state its ability and capacity to
govern by exercising successfully
the limited authority given it at

Washington. D. C.. March 1-Thir ty-five western railroads decided to- day to make no appeal from the re- cent decision of the interstate com merce commission, denying the roads the right to increase freight rates. They will accept the decree of the commission as final
 The decision was reached at 2 meeting of representatives of the roads at the Western trunk line headquarters here. The opinion was advanced by many that the roads would be unable to make any strong CT showing before the new commerce court than before the commission and once the new court had ruled. it's de cree would be binding for two years.
 It also was argued that if the roads complied with the decree without ob- jection and withdrew the advanced tariffs before March 10. there would be an opportunity at a later date to submit advances on certain rates, some of which might meet with favor.

New orleans. La. March 1-In q siXteen-page pamphlet entitled Re futation of the Statement of Presi- dent Tart received here today from Joseph F. Santos Zelaya, the eXiied former president of Nicaragua. in dulges in a bitter denunciation of President Taft and this govern ment's policy of aggression in Latin America. He brands President Taft as a slanderer, accuses the United States government of having shame lessly aided the rebellion" in Nicara- qua, Of having bought consciences" to further its scheme of aggrandiZe- ment. and warns Latin Americans that the purpose of the Taft adminis- tration is to control the Central American republics. Zelaya's latest attack was called forth by what he terms unjust accusations. full of bitterness against me-" contained in the presidents annual message 10 congress in December
 In that message President Taft re- ferred to Zelaya as the 'disturber of Central America" and said the people of Nicaragua were finally driven into rebellion by his lawless exactions and that Zelaya violated the laws of warfare by the ''unwarranted execu- ton Of two American citizens who had regularly enlisted in the ranks Of the revOlutionists"
 Zelaya proceeds to discuss our in reference" in Cuba. Santo Domingo and Panama and declares that the conduct of the United States has given "a solemn denial' tO the Mon roe doctrine. In place of the Monroe doctrine. he says that the United States government has adopted the policy of America for the Yankees %
 Referring to the recent Nicaraguan revolution Zelaya says: The United States government shamelessly aided the rebellion: it took the part of the rebels against my government, it bought cOnsciences. promising the in surgents to give them the country in return for concessions ruinous to the latter.
 The battle was unequal and my withdrawal from power of which President Taft gives a false explan ation, only took place when l had acquired the conviction that it was impossible to undo the web of trea- sons and villainies which the United States had planned for our unfor tunate and unhappy country
