alton for President this fall. The
report comes from all sections that

Roosevelt has won easily. The fact
remains. however, that President
Taft goes on piling up delegates SO
that there Is every reason to believe
that he will be the party's nominee
at the Chicago convention. He is
able to do this through his control
OF federal patronage.
It state after state. conventions
are being held to name delegates to
the national convention. In practic-
ally all of these state conventions
the federal Office holders are In com

true q the Democrats. II IL plain
that h every section the people
themselves favor the nomination OF
woodrow Wilson for the Democratic
candidate for President. But those
in control of patronage are using
every effort to name someone else.
There Ia reason to believe that there
is q triple alliance on In an effort to
keep Governor Wilson from getting
the nomination. Indications are, in
spite Of the denials from Washing.
ton, hat the three strongest oppon-
ents OF Wilson, who are Harmon,
Underwood and Clark, have divided
the country between them in the
campaign for delegates. Harmon's
aim is to get as many delegates as
possible from the northern states,
east of the Mississippi river; Under
wood is to corral the delegates of
the south, and Clark is to get as
many delegates as possible from the
west. In this way they hope to con-
troll the convention and pool their
interests in the end so as to nomin-
ate whichever one of the three is
strongest. In other words, 1t is any
thing to beat Wilson. All this Is
being done, the same as in the Re-
publican party, through the political
bosses controlling the state conven-
lions.
But in states like New Jersey,
wisconsin, Oregon and two or three
others, the bosses are not going to
have SO much to say For in these
few states presidential primaries
will be held at which the voters
themselves will go to the polls and
vote for the delegates pledged to
whatever man the voter favors. In
this way the individual members of
the party have a direct voice in max
ing the nomination.
With the present situation prom
inently before the public the people
should at once realize the advantage
of the presidential primaries, and II
they are wise they will devote their
efforts from now on to ecure such
primaries In every state In the
union, SO that while 1t may be too
late to force the nomination Of the
peoples candidates this year, such
a thing will be- absolutely in the
hands of the people four years
hence. The lesson is plain and the
only remedy is the presidential
primary for every state.
