A Political Mix-Up.
A few days ago, former President
Roosevelt announced again that he
would not be a candidate for Presi-
dent before the next Republican Ma
tional Convention, and earnestly ap-
pealed to everybody who was his real
friend to stop discussing his possible
candidacy. Mr.. Roosevelt further
added, in a significant way, that he
had not promised his support to Pres
ident Taft, and that President Taft
knew that he had refused to do SO,
and besides, that he would not sup
port any candidate for the nomina-
ton.
This announcement on the part of
the former President, followed as it
was last night by a speech by Mr..
Pinchot in New York at a banquet, in
which he declared that since former
President Roosevelt would not per-
NIT his name to be considered that
he was square1y in favor of the nom
lnation Of Senator La Toilette, has
caused a great deal of political gossip
here to-day. 1t Is thought that this
means that all of the friends and
followers of Mr.. Pinchot, including
ex-Secretary Garfield, will now line
up in vigorous campaign for the in
surgent candidate.
In this connection, it is also an
nounced by the Progressive Republi-
can League managers that Senator La
Toilette will soon start on an extend
ed Western trip. covering about the
same country that President Taft has
Just covered in his speech-making
tour.
There is no Disgusting the fact that
these developments have put many
wise and experienced politicians to
speculating.
One prominent old line Republican
to-day, that no matter how
this La Toilette movement panned
out, that it looked now like Roosevelt
would certainly loom up for the nom
nation in 1915
