but the undisprted fact remains that
the fate OF tho Roosevelt movement
turned entirely upon the action OF the
Baltimore convention. The homina
-ion OF Wilson knocked the props from
under the third party scheme. and It
was done without naming a candidate
and adopting platform so radical
that they would scare the business in
terests OF the country The only real
hope that Roosevelt had was that the
Democratic convention would be don,.-
mated by Wall Street. and that the
Democratic progressives would be de
feated there
From all quarters comes the news
that the Republican progressives are
satisfied with Wilson. and believe that
he offers the best solution Of the
question. How can We beat Taft? Only
