Sudden tension in the War Depart

President Taft is now more inclined to-

any other moment. There is an air OF

arises from the fact that reprisal would
probably follow upon border outrage.
However, II the border difficulties were
the only cause OF trouble, Intervention

Back of these apparent and FIRE quent-

Nebraska's situation is not unique.
over across the river, in Iowa, county
organizations have been going over to
Wilson in the same way. Discovering
that nothing can be done for Taft that
will give him a chance to carry the
State, a number of them have turned all
efforts to the support of Wilson, in the
hope of thus defeating Roosevelt in
the State. Reports from Iowa indicate
that this proceeding is driving quite as
many progressive Democrats away from
Wilson, as it Is winning reactionary
Republicans to him.

dictionaries among the standpat Repub-
Hcans are becoming convinced, by the
course OF Governor Wilson, that he is
vastly preferable from their viewpoint,
to Roosevelt, and they are turning in
for him. Their difficulty is that while
a considerable number of local leaders
are taking this tack, they don't make
much progress delivering their people.
A vastly greater portion of even the
conservative Republicans are disposed
to vote for Roosevelt, rather than take
chances on Wilson.
