! The men behind this movement feel
/ that their hope of success lies in
working up the proper amount of sen
| timent between now and the time OF
| the convention. They don't believe
| that the situation. as they would like
| IT, viii have time to erystalize prior
to the holding of primary elections by
certain of the Western states. Thus
states where they would look for the
strongest Roosevelt sentiment might
be compelled to record their prefer
ence for some other candidate. Meth
ef do they believe that Col. Roose-
Welt could be induced TO announce
himself as a candidate and thus per-
init votes to be cast for him. His
nomination. they say, must come
through an outburst of enthusiasm al
the convention itself.
Behind the Roosevelt phase of the
situation, however. there seems to be
a very general sentiment among the
members of the National Committee
that they have no right, or at least
that II would be decidedly impoiitic
as a central body to dictate to the
states what they should or should
not do.
Each state, it was argued, should
be free TO determine the manner Of
choosing delegates. Consequently. 1t
appears certain now that the only
resolution on the subject that will be
adopted by the convention will be
one to the effect that delegates to the
national convention shall be chosen
Pursuant to the laws of the various
states" and under the authority of the
Republican State Central Convention.
Six states thus far have adopted Pres
idential preference, primaries-North
Dakota, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Oregon.
New Jersey and South Dakota.

pearance of some of San Francisco's
labor leaders. who have been sub

Guided for the present. Burt IT. Frank

James Leek, who had been mysterious

lodges in the woods mile from the

Dictated that he must have lain in the
spot where he was found practically
the entire six days that he has been
absent. Several times during the past
two days, members of the posse that
has been eombing the woods passed
within sight of the Granny where Leek
lay but it was not until near dusk,
tonight. when his friends were MAX
ing their final search, that he was dis
covered.
Restoratiyes were applied before
Leek was moved and he opened his
eyes long enough TO ask: Where am
II" and then again lapsed into I'M
consciousness. He was taken to his
home, where he is, tonight, under the
care of a physician, who expresses
some hope that he will recover.
Leek was employed in local factory
and just after o'clock, Tuesday morn
ing. started for work as usual. When
he did not return at night Mrs. LeeK
investigated and, learning that her hsu-
band had not been at the factory during
the day, reported the matter to the POI
lice with the result that a systematic
search was instituted and, yesterday
and today. more than 200 men and boys
participated.
Until Leek RECEIVERS sufficiently to ex-
plain how he came TO be in the place
where he was found. today, the mystery
will remain unsolved. The police theory
is that in passing through the woods on
his way TO work he may have become
confused and followed wrong path. In
trying to get back he fell into the
crevice.
Leek has wife and one child and Is
about 20 years of age.
