returns in Florida and Georgia indicate drift

candidate one must have the courage of a
gambler's conviction: to venture even guess
at the Democratic nominee, one must needs be

Much in the Democratic situation depends,
Of course upon the nominee named AT Chicago.
In case of Roosevelt, it were hard to imagine
a folly which would permit the Baltimore con-
vention TO name any Democrat who would not
prove a distinct foil to the great apostle Of
change Such a nomination would result
either in definitely alternating from the support
of either party the mass OF conservatively
thinking men, or in the formation of hope
less third party. which would leave the field TO
Roosevelt. In case Mr.. Taft is nominated the
Democrats could, of course look to the Roose+
welt following to support any candidate OF
the type Of Clark or Wilson, but such a man
against Roosevelt would be eating his dust
