Would Like to Force

smoke out Professor Wilson by Oct. )
Colonel Roosevelt is reported to have
/ said to one of his campaign managers
the other day upon reading state
ment from Sea Grit that his Democratic
opponent for the presidency was OPP
posed to following the third term can
didate in swing around the circle.
| Nothing so sears the soul of the col
onel as to be ignored by an opponent
and the rather airy way in which the
erstwhile college president has elected
to pass the colonel and his party by
as negligible quantity in this cam
paign, it is said, has begun to get on
the nerves of the third termers. 1t is
assumed that his threat to Smoke The
professor out" means that Governor vii
son is TO be subjected to the same
sort of attack at the hands of Mr..
Roosevelt that President Taft bore
throughout the spring primaries.
Ever since the Baltimore convention
Oyster Bay has been batting Sea Grit
but without success. First, the colonel
declared that Wilson was the man he
had to beat that Taft would run poor
third and one of his supporters pre-
dicted that Debs would push the presi-
dent for third place. Then came the
statement that the colonel hoped he
would not have to say unkind things
about the intellectual gentleman from
New Jersey but that the first time
Governor Wilson so much as insinuat-
ed criticism of the colonel. the col
onel would ego after him and give no
80 Ia ,aI I,,t,
failed to evoke notice from the Demo-
cratic candidate. 1t is now believed
that a different method OF attack must
be resorted to and the colonel will
disappoint his managers If he does not
attack Wilson in New England this
week for his failure to purge his own
state OF New Jersey Of the trusts. Gov
ernor Wilson is to be pictured as a man
who is surrounded by a notorious bard
of bosses in whose hands he would be
helpless were he elected president
Weaving away his supporters from
Governor Wilson has proved one of the
most difficult tasks tackled by the col.
onel since he entered upon his now
adventure of wrecking the Republican
party. First were the periodicals. The
Outlook was for long time cham
pion Of Woodrow Wilson. While The
colonel was in Africa it was easy sailing
for the Abbots; Wilson was extoiled
each week as true crusader When
the colonel got back and talk began
of his return to the field of national
affairs, The Outlook declared that as
Mr.. Roosevelt stood for new national
ism so Mr. Wilson stood for a new
stateism.s No conflict there each SUI
preme in his own field. Now that the
two are rivals on the national diamond |
and the contributing editor is getting |
ready to bat the governor out of thc
box. The Outlook is hard put to he |
at the same time consistent and LOYAL |
to the contributing editor. That jour
nal is expected, however, to part COM
pany with Governor Wilson once and |
for all in an early issue on the ground !
that his company is revolving to true
and that the Colonel is |
the one and only leader to be followed |
Golfers Weekly, it is said will con.
tinue for some little time to follow an |
independent course, but in
ample time it will discard Wilson for
Roosevelt
TO switch to Roosevelt. as was Louis y. I
Brandeis. but both have turned up for
Wilson. The former is raising the mon
~ in the West for the Wilson campaign
and Brandeis is writing letters. 1T is
not improbable that Mr. Brandeis heard
rom some one of the bitter denuncia-
ton which he received from Colonel
Roosevelt for annexing the confidential
of Secretary Ballinger. In T
'tead of blaming Pinchot and Garfield
or their part in this disreputable bus
ness, the colonel is said to have con
ioned their part on the theory that they
lad been led astray by a tricky lawyer
His words about Brandeis are said TO
ave been as strong as he could fnd
Vt any rate the Boston lawyer is for
Wilson and the colonel is said to he
eady to score him publicly if he has
Iught to say in criticism of the. third
'arty.
1t will require a good deal of resist
Ince on the part of Governor Wilson
Tot to walk into the trap Colonel Roose-
'elt is setting for him. Like William
I. Bryan, Mr.. Roosevelt can be depend
d upon to draw enormous crowds along
he route of his campaign trip. These
rowds will alarm the Democratic party
eaders and they will hasten to send
n urgent appeals to Governor Wilson
