AGAINST ROOSEVELT

Summing up the delegates thus far
elected, and those to be elected, to
the Chicago convention, the cold tlg-
ures are still heavily against Roose-
welt. In the most impartial tables,
Taft is now put down at 448-needing
but go more for the nomination., while
Roosevelt has but 224. Where is he
to get the necessary 316 which he
still lacks? There are only 1852 dele
gates yet to be chosen; is it concelv'
able that Taft will secure only As OF
these? There are, of course, LaF'ol-
lette's SO and the 10 for Cummins.
The Roosevelt managers no doubt
hope to be able to annex those, though
the chances appear now to be strong
ly against their succeeding in doing
so. Their real objective is of course,
the southern delegates. They speak of
"contesting" the seats of great num-
bers of the delegates from the south,
"uO are uO" Ou luc all IOAS OuI O'-
erybody knows the true kind of con-
test they have in mind. 1t is a con-
test to see which side can offer more
for the southern votes. Already the
elected delegates are being piled with
every kind of argument and induce
ment. 1t is tacitly assumed that
many of them are venal, and the
Roosevelt managers have shown that
they are much better supplied with
money than with scruples. Their sole
hope of nominating Roosevelt lies in
the ability to "get at" the Republi.
can delegates from the Southern
states. We may hear after the con-
vention of 1912 a bitter complaint
like that which John Sherman made
after the convention of 1888: "Alger
bought up my niggers."
