GARFIELD'S BOOM
IS GIVEN AN IMPETUS
He is Encouraged to Oppose
President Taft While
the Others Wait
for 1916
BY VICTOR ELLIOTT.

WASHINGTON, July 3l.-Anothel
effort is being made 10y i|nsurgent Re
publicans of the country to unite then
force in the nomination OF a candi.
date against President Taft.
This time James Rudolph Garfield
son of the former President. and lat,
Secretary of Commerce ana Labor in
the Roosevelt administration is tht
man.
For Il time there was a possibility
that Senator La Toilette could bring
together all the progressives of the
country but he has failed to do it
Then it was believed tina Senator
Cutninins, of Iowa, could do il. This
was soon seen TO be impossible. After
that. first one name IA then an
other was proposed, but all failed to
qualify.
Friends OF Mr.. Garfield have per
suaded him TO allow the beginning of
II presidential boom. They have prom :
ised not To tie the former Cabinet off =
Ger up in any declaration of candi-
dacy. They merely want to use his
name for feeling out purposes.

Garfield returned to his home. the
semblanee of a Garfield organization
was started here.
The Ohio End.
This is the Capital end OF the boom.
Out in Ohio there is another end. In
that state the argument is being used.
in GHrheid's favor, that he can win
the state delegation away from the
President in the convention. This is
undoubtedly a broad statement, but it
is interesting.

Importance. OF curse. 1t ma all be
a boast, but even SO. it is enough to

his insurgent associates to take him
seriously.
The Presidents friends in Ohio. ap-
pear to entertain no fear about the
state delegation. They say that Ohio
will he loyal to the executive. They
say that it is idle to talk about win
ming the state away from its, most
distinguished citizen in the convention.

They claim hat insurgency has nj
real footing in the Buckeye State.
Whatever else 1t may have done
the Garfield boom has served to re.
vive interest In the apparent impos.
sibility OF the insurgenr wing OF thu
party deciding upon a man who car
nope successfully to oppose the Presi
dent for denomination. At one tffne
the La Toilette ambition seemed 10
be or some consequence. Now tina,
worries the Republican regulars no
a bit.
La Foiicttc's Plans.
Everybody knows that the wiscon-
sin Senator Is laying his plans for
1.-THE 1915 campaign. He Expects to
be President after hat time. and
not before. Just now he Is a nomi-
nal. but not an active candidate. He
probably wants TO see the President
nominated and then defeated In the
election.
Such a defeat as that would. in
the La Toilette philosophy, mean the
nomination in 1916 of a progressive.
He expects 10 be that progressive.
The country, he argues, will turn
down the conservatives In the com
ing national election. The Demo-
Gratis will win the presidency. where
aipon. he LA FoHette) will offer
himself to his party as the one man
who can be both nominated and
elected In 1915.
lhis program does not contemplate
the aspirations of the able Senator
Cummins.- OF Iowa. He also wants
to be President He il therefore the
rival of his associate, the Senator
from Wisconsin. He is not now en-
thusiastic over the candidacy OF La
Toilette, and has refused to follow
'Battler Bob in more than one Sem
ate fight. Likewise La Toilette has
hesltated to give Cummins too much
leadership in the Senate.
Both these Senators seem ouita
willing that Garfield shal be the
progressive candidate this year, They
expect him to go down in defeat at
the convention That will therefore
be the end of Garfield. His defeat
VIII mean a clear field for one or
the otner or the present insurgent
leaders in the Senate.
Look to Roosevelt,
The position which former Presi-
dent Roosevelt will take with re-
gard to Garfield IL a matter of specu-
iation, Garfield was one OF the Colo
nels favorites. 1t was the former
who elevated the Ohioan
from the head OF the bureau of cor
porations to a cabinet position. 1t
Is fair to assume that the ex-Presi-
dent still believes in his former sec
rotary of Commerce and Labor.
Blu Mr.. Roosevelt has declared
nobody for the presidency next
year. At least. he has issued a pub
lie statement to that effect. 1t may
be. Garfield's friends hope, that the
