Taft Makes No Fight There
But is Second Choice
All the Same.

WASHINGTON. D. C.. April -
The outcome of the Wisconsin pri-
maries, returns from which are still
far from complete, nevertheless in
dictate beyond ell doubt that Theo-
dore Roosevelt could not possibly
carry the state If he were the Re-
publican nominee for president this
year. For the first time in a decade
the Republicans of Wisconsin are
united and the issue upon which
they were reunited is. TO quote a
LaFoilette leader in the state-"to
swat Roosevelt"
As an evidence of the sincerity
OF Mr.. Roosevelt and his campaign
managers on the question of presl-
Dental preference primaries, It Is
only necessary TO call attention to
the fact that they did not even COM
pete in the Wisconsin primaries.
To have competed would have been
a violation OF their we'll established
policy in this campaign OF picking
out seeming soft spots" in order
that their candidate, as In the news
paper STRAW ballots" published in
newspapers controlled by friendly
agencies, may appear to maintain
an unbroken line OF victories"
The fallacy of their political judg-
ment in picking "featherbeds" was
ably and amply demonstrated in New
York. where Roosevelt delegates
competed in only fifteen congress
sional districts out of forty-three,
and lost every one; in North Da-
kota, a known LaF'ollette territory,
which they tried to steal" and IN
st. Louis, where they have nomi-
mated delegates in only eight out of
ltwenty-eight city wards.
It is not enough for air. Roose-

sin is progressive territory" ana

ceded In advance, was anti-TaSt. II
is well known fact that Senate
LaFollette, on the stump in North
Dakota, repudiated Mr.. Roosevelt as
\ a progressive and seriously ques.

Iof progressive Republican prin-
ciples. 1t can be stated without
fear OF contradiction that Mr..

PORTUGAL IS
NOW HAVING
MUCH UNREST
Financial and Political Con-
ditions Are Becoming Sc
rions at This Time.
REPUBLICAN REGIME
May Be Overthrow as Pop
ulace is Unprepared for
Free Government.

LISBON, April 6.-The general sit
uation in Portugal may be character
laed as becoming serious. both the
financial and political condition of
the country being decidedly unsatis-
factory. This state of affairs, how
ever. is viewed with a somewhat pes
simistic indifference by the nation at
large.
At the beginning not only the Re-
publicans, but a good many Monarch
lists welcomed the advent of new re-
glme; but the Republican leaders
promised great deal more than they
have carried out. The law Of separa-
ton OF church and state offended the
religious sentiments OF many people,
while the increased taxes on capital
and the Landlords Law allenated the
sympathies of the wealthy classes.
The civil administration OF the
country has by no means been sat
istactory. many capable and intellec-
tual men being thrust aside, this
being due to the fact that they had
not. become Republicans before the
Revolution. At first mistakes were
expected, and almost everyone was
DESTROYS OF giving the Republic a fair
chance, but since the Republican gov
eminent took Office little has been
done to effect reforms. Since October
3, 1910, the annual expenditure has
increased, while the revenue has con-
siderably decreased.
Parliamentary debates have become
abortive, deputies merely making long
speeches which are frantically cheercd
by their supporters. but few laws are
passed. A great number of projects
are presented and then refer.ld back
to committees for study. after which
no more is heard of them. Party war
fare and self-interest, which were the
chief causes OF tn destruction of the
monarchy. have already begun to dis
unite the Republican regime.
Senior Almeida, the chief of the
conservative Republicans, seeing the
danger of the situation. has recon
structed his party and instituted new
program. the chief feature OF which
Is the remodeling OF the law of sep
aration OF church and state. altera-
tons in taxation. a new electoral law
and other liberal schemes, the Idea
being to attract all the moderately
disposed Republicans and Monarch
lists. 1t Is generally considered more
than doubtful whether he will have
any success, as the greater part OF
the country has lost faith nall poll
ticlans. Moreover. the opposition of
the more advanced Republicans Is too
great to permit of any Roadway In
this direction.
This condition OF affairs reacts on
commerce. Trade is now considerably
paralyzed. while the lack of money
is great. In Portugal the bulk o.
trade is effected on credit. the banks
dlscounting term drafts, During the
last few months, bankers, due to the
lack of funds, have reduced such fac
ilities to one-uuarter of the previous
amount, while the Bank of Portugal.
which was the principal bank assist
ing trade, has practically stopped nil
private discounts, the cash it has in
hand being sufficient to supply the
constant demand for the governments
