Once more Theodore. Rooseyelt's
shadow is looming forth on the
pathway to the white house. Even
President Taft's own state now
seems divided. many openly defying
the chief executive and endeayoring
to turn the tide for the former presi-
dent. The New York World. the
paper that won a legal battle over
the ex-trust5buster. now sees this
shadow drawing nearer and nearer
and with alarm states: .Rooseyelt's
support OF Taft ended with the cleo
ton Of 1908. Since Taft was in
angrrated Roosevelt has been the
inspiration OF every movement and
every intrigue within the republican

antitrust insurgents found their
moral leader. In Theodore Roose-
welt Wall street now finds its most
powerful champion agains, the adj
ministration- Can he now defeat
Taft for the denomination, II Is
not impossible: IL Is not improbable.
