The fight OF 1912 for the Republican

The severance of friendly relations
between Taft and Roosevelt was not

THE LOVE OF a FIGHT

As the contest warmed up. likewise
the two leading gladiators. the great
American public. keen To sense and 10
enjoy good fight began to take real
interest. The president and the colo
mel began business without serious
blows. Like couple of pugilists they
spared with each other, watching out
for promising opening. This kind of
sport soon palled on the colonel, and
he commenced letting out steam. The
strenuous colonel began to annoy the
urbane Taft. and the growing uncer-
taintv Of the outcome in the contest
for the nomination began to annoy
them both.
And then-biff. bang. something
happened.
1t was late in April when President
Taft ard Colonel Roosevelt opened w

president. speaking in Springfield
Mass. dropped the famous Taft smile
and as his face flushed with anger he
declared that his back was against the
wall and that if there was Il spark OF
manhood in him he could do nothing
! but fight. The colonefs criticisms haG
stung him 10 the quick.
From then on neither the presiden
nor the colonel hesitated in engagin.
in further personalities. and they boil
have kept at it hammer and tongs.

OTHER BOOMS

Long before the campaign got in full
swing there were 4 whole lot of preSi-
Dental boomS, but when Colonel Roose-
Welt said in so many words that he
was in the race for Il third term and
would meet all corners, one by one,
most of the early aspirants were plac-
ed in the discard. Senator Robert VI.
La Toilette of Wisconsin hung on
grimly. however, and Senator Albert
Baird Cummins of Iowa continued to
evince n certain amount of interest.
Yet IL narrowed down to struggle
between Taft and Roosevelt.
OF course now and then a thought
was given TO the possibility that the
dark horse" Justice Charles Evans
Hughes. might loom up suddenly as q
compromise candidate for party unity
but the fact that the jurist declared be
fore the campaign really started that
he was not candidate for the nomina
ton eliminated him from the serious
consideration of the great bulk of the
people.

Evans throws the dry splitter in
exactly the same manner that the reg
ular spitball is delivered except that
he does not moisten it. 1t takes pc
culiar wabbling motion and jumps just
as it gets TO the batter. Instead OF
breaking into a right handed batter,
as in the case of the spitball, it takes
an outward and upward jump that is
very puZZling.
