Talk Of a Bolt Renewed.

The talk Of bolt was renewed today
with the certainty that the national
committee would decide many of the
contests against the colonel. 1t was
known that Roosevelt absolutely be,
lieved that in the case of Indiana,
Michigan and some of the other north
ern states, his delegates were really
the popular choice and men who knew
him best declared that If the com
mittee ruled against him in these in
stances, and then was upheld by the
convention, he and his followers could
be expected to organize a second con-
vention which would claim to be the
regular one, nominate its ticket, adopt
a sweepingly progressive platform
and go ahead with the campaign no
matter what the regular convention
might do.
