A Forecast

We have now approached near
enough to the republican national
convention to forecast the action
of that body. Ex-President Roos-
evelt will, apparently have a ma
jority of the northern states,
while President Taft seemslikely
to have a majority of the conven-
tion including the southern dele
gates, who represent merely pat
ronage and Doodle. Mr.. Roose-
welt has been careful to arrange
for contesting delegates from the
south, this was the first indication
of his intention to bolt. With a
majority of the northern delegate
he is in position to have a con-
vention of his own in case his
contesting delegates are refused
admission.
+ The conclusion, therefore, is
that Mr.. Roosevelt will be the
neminee of the regular conven-
tion or the nominee of a bolting
|
convention. Get ready for the
candidacy he is quiet sure tC
run. "
Can Roosevelt be defeated
Yes, by any good progressive.
A progressive will hold the dem.
ocratic vote and the republicans
who oppose a third term will dC
the rest. Mr.. Clark and Mr. Will
son are the leading progressive
condidate--either one of them ca
defeat Roosevelt, The countr!
will never have a President for
third term. -Commoner.
