A PARTY TOPPING TO PIECES.

The Taft supporters have all but given up hope of
presidents friends expecting his defeat for
nation the hands of the national convention of the
republican party, which will meet in month at Chicago
The president refuses discuss the reports that he
retire from the but his closest friends
chat he will fight to the end. 1t is clearly evident,
however that they consider they have made last
stand Mr.. Taft in his native state, where a pri-
mary the question of preference for nomi-
nation will be taken today and that they hoping
almost against hope that Ohio will stand by her dis
tinguished If Roosevelt captures the presidents
state today the Taft will be practically lost
might be said offset to this prospect that Taft
has already captured Colonel Roosevelt's of New
York. but the colonel has partially broken the force
that result by denouncng in violent terms the in
efficient primary in that state having been corrupt
and ricuously inexpensive of the popular will The
colonel moreover, never did lay much on lew
York political dependence, whereas the president
has claimed as he has every right to claim the loyal
support of his own state. If Ohio fails to sustain him,
he will be in very sorry plight candidate for
nomination. In that it may as well be admitted
that Mr. Taft is beaten The president himself doubt
less takes that view He is quoted having replied
the other day to the expression of opinion by OF
the republican leaders that if Roosevelt carried Ohio
the republican party would be hopeessy divided Don't
let's talk about that Wait see what happens.
If it happens that Roosevelt does capture the
easy conclude that the president will regard his
lost and he will be pretty nearly right
But if the president down before assault OF
Colonel Roosevelt, the republican party will go down
ruins also. 1t is impossible that great and proud
party survive such CONFUSION as
welt has made within The republican organization if it
is still unable to cast him of. Certainly the republic
party cannot outliye Roosevelt triumph all
its principles and precepts The traditional republican
policies have all-save the protection theory which
Roosevelt is standpatter, immovable as Joe Can
non-have been trampled by the whom fortune
cast into the position of its leader season. and it
is impossible that the old ne of the party accept
the doctrine that is up by this ruthless
stroyer of longestabhshed policies.
