Will Have to Be Shown.

There is much discussion as to what
relation the action Of the Chicago con
veution has 10 the course this copveu-
tlon should take.
Most Of the delegates here appear
to be from Missouri. They hesitate to
accept the Roosevelt action in Chicago
last night rs more than a parting growl
of a defeated candidate. The argu.
meut is that "A third party movement
headed by Roosevelt would be too EN-
harrassing for the western progressive
leaders in the Republican party with
out whose active cooperation the move
ment would die a.borning, Borah, for
instance, frowned upon the suggestion
because his aspirations for another
term in the United States senate would
never be realized should there be a
break in the party organization. Dix
on, Hadlev and Deneen arc in much
the same boat. Every delegate to the
Republican convention from Minnesota
is a candidate for office and wide

any fight is waged. will be transferred

to the outcome there are two decided
differences of opinion, The couserva
