Democratic complications have been so
increased by the Massachusetts and Geor-
gia primaries that the outcome Of tlre
fight for the nomination will hardly be
indicated until the convention meets.
Obviously. the victim Of great comb
nation of organization leaders who are
supplied with all necessary money by the
special-privilege interests, Wilson it is
quietly passed around, is to be rejected
because be is too progressive.
There is still a possibility that the
sentiment of the Democratic voters in
favor of Wilson and the principles for
which he stands may make itself effee-
tive
Although Speaker Champ Clark ap.
pears TO be takingthe long lead in dele
gates elected, it is not believed here that
he can be nominated Those who re-
'cognize that the nomination is TO be the
result of manipulation, realize also that
mauipulators will never LET Clark assume
the commanding lead.
Nor is Underwood possibility. He
would suit the special interests that are
financing his campaign, but he would
stand no chanceof election. >~The belief
is, therefore, growing that allthe support
being given to Clark and Underwood, is
to be used later in support Of Harmon, or
if Harmon cannot be nominated then in
support of some candidate like Marshall,
of Indiana. WHO, while posing as a pro-
gressive, is regarded as satisfactory 10 the
special interests.
Upon the asserted belief that the Re-
publican party cannot win with either
President Taft or Colonel Roosevelt, some
Republicans here are beginning 10 con
slider seriously the selection Of a COM
promise man. The result Of the Massa
chusetts primaries has discouraged some
of President Taft,s most loyal supporters
and the name Of Senator Theodore
Burton, Of Ohio, is used in connection
with the srottiDg out Of dark horse. II
is argued BY Old Guard Republicans that
he is an admirable compromise candi-
date.
