WOULD WAIT ON
PUBLIC OPINION
Bacon Wants Democratic
Convention Postponed.

Washington, Feb. 2S.- The candf-
dacy OF Colonel Roosevelt has caused
a startling development. It became
known that Senator Bacon Of Georgia
had started a movement to postpone
the Democratic national convention for
probably a month from June rs. the
scheduled date, or a week after the
Republican convention Ia held in Chi
cago.
Senator Bacon has conferred with
various Democratic senators and finds
them Of the same opinion as himself.
They believe Roosevelt will be nonni-
mated by the Republicans and that q
change of plan on the part OF the Dem
ocrats Is imperative. This is the most
striking Testimony yet offered rs to
how the Democrats view the Roosevelt
announcement and how they think
the country will take 1t. They have,
heen favoring the nomination. feeling
that they can defeat him easily.
'eTle announcement OF former Presi-
dent Roosevelt" said Senator Bacon.
makes It Imperative TINT the Demo
cratic national committee meet speed
lily and postpone the Democratic Ton:
vention three weeks or q month"
The position Of Bacon and the others
Is that the Republicans will norninate
Roosevelt, and that the Democrats
thus would have ample time Il wais
and see how the public takes the nomi.
nation. Presumably. II Roosevelt Ia
nominated the Democratic r!-r -c-.s
be to nominate 4 conservative like
Harmon or Underwood. 1t Is denied
that the movement for postponemena
is In the interest of~any particular can,
didate.
The general feeling OF Republicans
here 10 that the fight will be so bitter
that the chance Of party success In
November must be greatly lessened
Democrats hail the big split La the
enemy's ranks with Joy.
At the ami time there Ia apprehen,
sion In the Democratic camp that u
Roosevelt be nominated he viii b.
elected. This is seen In the dIsposi
ton Of the Democrats to attack Roose
velt from every angfe: to haraas hin
and try to weaken him In the eyes O
the country.
