WASHINGTON. ID. c., April 6.
If President Taft is renominated
at Chicago, predict there will be
third party movement and that
its leader will be Robert NJ. La
Toilette, and that the Roosevelt
Observation-Disclosures may be the
action of the colonel himself
will go along.
The above is written with full
knowledge of conditions, includ-
ing the sentiments of all the men
who are leading this progressive
movement.
Abolish Commerce Court.
That the commerce court will
soon be abolished is the encourage
ing news which comes from the
inner councils OF the house of rep
resentatives.
Look Into Sloan Record.
An inquiry has been instituted
by the senate judiciary committee
into the qualifications of Richard
A. Sloan for federal Judge in the
Arizona district. Numerous pro-
tests have been received. Sloan
Is said to have shown an overwill-
ingness to serve large corpora
tions, to-wit, the Sante Fe rail-
road. the Pullman company and
others.
Recall I'm Platform?
Taft has declared that he will
not run on a platform containing
declarations In favor of the recall
of judges. It is doubted also
whether he would run on a plat
form favoring initiative, referen-
dun and other features of popu-
lar government.
On these subjects Roosevelt and
LaFollette are at one. and IL is
to be hoped that their combined
efforts will write them into the
party platform.
The New York Sun takes five
columns to tell the story of the
estrangement between Taft and
Roosevelt. The truth can be told
In one sentence. Taft betrayed
the Roosevelt policies.
