In the office of Mr.. Nichols they
we're trying to dope" out Roosevelt's
chances in the light OF recent develop

boosters, loath to give up the third
party idea. tried to figure out some
way by which 1t would appear that
Roosevelt could win despite the OPP
position of Wilson and Taft. They
declared that Wilson will not be able
TO carry the rock-ribbed Republican
states in the north. while these states
would vote for Roosevelt But try as
they would. they could not conceal
their depression. Nichols refused to
make public statement. He said he

meeting in Lansing, Friday, but he Is
not sure that he can get away.
