Sdelegates in many districts, people pre-
tending to be for Roosevelt, but whose
real purpose was to divide the Roose-
velt strength and thus let the Taft
ldelegates win on pluralities
It's fine old trick of machine poll

parade. They can't be kept away from
it. once they decry it clearly. They

horse, the bay one, the sorrel, the
gray; he's just all the entried there are
