BRYAN AFTER ROOSEVELT.

1t now appears that Roosevelt has
to do, that is, to get the Democrats
to come out into the open. He said

The Republicans sent after Roose-
welt two prominent speakers who are
following close upon Roosevelt on
the Pacific coast. The reports do not
indicate what success they are hav-
ing, but it is safe to say that the
Pacific coast will hear more Of the
eastern oratory than they have ever
heard before.
Bryan has never been as popular
on the Pacific coast as he has been
in the central and Rocky mountain

The fact that Senator Borah of

that state, sat upon the platform with

1t was reported that Borah would

CLOSE CONTEST IN NEW YORK.


All Coloradoans who have recently
visited New York are unanimous in
their opinion that the political stu
alton there is one Of unusual inter-
est. They report that every indica-
ton points to Wilson as the favorite
in New York city, but that the nomi-
nation Of Oscar Strauss and Burke
Cochran, former Democrats, may have
much to do with reducing Wilson's
vote in the state and that there seems
to be feeling among Tammany DEM
ocrats that Wilson will not receive
the hearty support Of the conserva-
tive element. This vote is counted
for Taft. With the drawing away
from the Democrats both by the Re-
publicans and the Progressives It is
conceded that there will be a close
contest between the three parties in
the state and that no one can hope
to be able to predict as to the out
come.
Wilson would seem to have an ad-
vantage in the city while the up
state would go strong for Roosevelt
and Taft, with Wilson running third.
1t is realized that it la some seven
weeks yet before election and In that
time many changes may be made and
the real conditions determined and
the results may be foreseen. In any
event it promises to be battle royal
with hopes for all.

GRIFFITH ALONE.

The Republicans are very much in
terested in Ben Griffith's position. He
is the only Roosevelt man nominated
by the Republicans who are demand
ing that he come out for Taft or get
off the ticket
Some of the more radical Repub-
licans are demanding that he resign
so that the vacancy committee can
name Taft man on the ticket In
his place. Some Of the luke warm
Republicans say that it is just ~
well that he resign as he is the only
Roosevelt man named. This class Of
Republicans were very anxious to see
Stewart and Griffith nominated. In
fact, some Of the Taft men supported
Stewart and Griffith with the idea of
uniting the two factions on the state
ticket, but the extremists have besn
opposed to any alliance whatevsr be-
tween the Roosevelt and the Taft peo-
pie in the state.
The Bull Moose psopls are clnim-
ing that Griffith will withdraw from
the Republican ticket and that he
will be given place on the Pro-
gressive ticket. They also claim that
Stewart will join them, but that does

CITIZENS. PARTY DESPERATE.

The Democrats of Denver are in
the biggest mixup ever. The old
Citizens party has been reduced to
great extent by many who went
back into the Democratic party, fol-
lowing Shafroth and Thomas. The
remainder of the party seems tc be
badly divided and both factions are
trying to effect fusion with the
Progressives.
For all practical purposes the once
strong party that overthrew the Dem
yer machines last spring has about
lost its identity and a mere handful
of voters are struggling to hold up
the organization. 1t is very difficult
to maintain independent organiza-
tions for local purposes on presiden-
tial years.
The Citizens party was made up
Of the progressives from the old par
tics. The Bull Moose organization
took the first movement toward
weakening the party. Then came
Shafroth and Thomas and took about
half Of the remainder back into the
Democratic party. Those left are di-
vided and each division claims to be
the real Citizens party that won
such magnificent victory last spring.
1t is not known whether or not the
Citizens party will be able to sur.
vive the struggle it will have dur
ing this presidential campaign.

Patchogue, L. l., April 81. While re-
turning from Sayville to Patchogue at
7 O'Clock tonight an automobile owned
by the Great South Bay Water Company
was wrecked by crashing into tree, and
three men, employees of the company,
were injured.
The car was going at fairly high rate
of speed, as the men were anxious to
get home in time to AVOID storm that
was threatening, and in front of the
residence of Robert Roosev elt, an uncle
of Colonel Roosevelt, at Bayport, the
machine suddenly skidded, and as it hit
the tree it was overturned and badly
smashed.
The three occupants, of which George
Cobbs, foreman, was one, were thrown
out, and when picked up by villagers,
who had heard the crash, they seemed
to be unconscious. Drs. F. c. Merritt
and w. E. Ross were summoned by tele-
phone, and an examination of the three
men showed that they had been cut and
bruised in several places, but had not
been seriously hurt. After treatment
by the physicians they were able to con-
tinue the journey to Patchogue by
train. Brooklyn Eagle.

Mr.. Roosevelt within a few days has
said that if he is nominated for Presi-
dent he hopes to carry some of the
Southern States and break into the solid
South.
The only Southern States apart from
the border States that in recent years
have looked at all promising are North
Carolina and Tennessee, and four years
ago Mr.. Taft failed to carry North
Carolina by $4,000 and Tennessee by
1900. None of the other States look
in the least encouraging, and in South
Carolina, Mississippi and Louisiana
there are almost no Republicans; for
instance, only 1000 voting in the whole
State of South Carolina and only 1900 in
Mississippi.
The only possible chance Mr.. Reese
welt, Mr.. Taft or any other Republican
has of breaking into the solid South
now is more than offset by the chances
good Democratic nominee has of
breaking up the "solid North, and
overturning such States as Maine, New
Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecti-
cut, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin,
California or Oregon, to mention only a
few of the old-time Republican strong
holds. Boston Journal.

the Taft forces in the South his totals
would drop below those of Roosevelt.
For this reason the conclusions of
Massachusetts are of the utmost i'm
portsnce. The Taft cause ought to
have won sweeping victory here.
This it has failed to do, however favor
able to Taft the divided result may
prove.
There are the states which are yet to
vote, both in convention and in pri-
mary. Nothing succeeds like success.
The aroma of victory is worth thou
sands of votes. Particularly is this
true of politicians and men in Office.
They want to hold on, and so desire
Identification with candidates. and
causes which promise to lend buoyancy
to their own, instead of proving burdens
for their backs.
At the hour when this page closes it
is not clear how the delegates of Massa-
chusetts will divide. A split result is a
Roosevelt victory. This should have
been Taft territory. To the old Bay
State the country looked to check the
tide which got under way with the
Illinois primaries, and their mistaken
view of Taft's relations to Lorimer.
1t may not be too late to do this, par
ticularly if the Massachusetts "clean
up" should be more favorable than
midnight returns indicate, but the out
look is confessedly less favorable than
could be desired. Boston Herald.

BOY STRUCK BY AUTO.
Machine Without License Num-
Der Coliides with Bicycle.

Pascale Ralf, an Italian, of No. 5
Pine street, Rutland, was thrown sew
eral feet, when an automobile belonging
to the Premier Automobile company hit
him at the corner of West street and
Merchants row Tuesday afternoon
about a O'Clock. Ralf escaped with
bruise on his left elbow, but the bicycle
which he was riding was demolished.
A headlight on the automobile was
bent out of shape as a result of the
collision.
Young Ralf was slowly riding "a BIZ
cycle across the junction of Merchants
row and West street when Ford auto
mobile, going up the former thorough
fare in excess of the speed limit, hit
him. He was thrown into the air d.
rectly in front of the automobile and
was showed considerable distance be-
fore the motor car could be brought to a
stop. 1t was apparent to witnesses of
the accident that the driver of the
automobile was at fault, and the latter,
after being threatened by several spec
tators, admitted: 81 guess l was going
little fast" The automobile bore no

No M ore of IL.

There will be. no dissent from the
judgment that the Presidential primary
law which Massachusetts experimental
with on Tuesday is failure. 1t fell
between two stools. Either it should
have provided for preference vote for
Presidential candidates, to be binding
on the delegates elected, whatever their
personal preferences, or it should have
provided simply for the direct election
of delegates. To set up two conflicting
methods of designation was utterly fool
ish and brought about the illogical result
of a declaration of preference on the
part of the Republican voters of the
state at large for Taft and on the part
of the Democratic voters for Clark,
while egates-at-large pledged to
Roosevelt and to Foss were chosen to
the two national conventions to carry
out the mandate of the voters, nobody
knowing how many thousands of Demo-
Gratis contributed to these criss- cross re-
suits.
A primary system of that sort is
worse than farce. 1t is an imposition
on the electors, who are invited to undo
with one hand what they do with the
other. Happily, fantastic perversion
of the popular purpose through clumsy
election machinery may be averted by
Colonel Roosevelt's refusal to take ad-
vantage of technical victory. The first
trial of the back action, boomerang pri-
mary in Massachusetts should be the
last. New York Tribune.
