palladium Specially

WASHINGTON, Jan. '25.-Ex-presi-
dent Roosevelt will probably make a
definite statement within the next two
weeks as to his position in regard to
the Republican nomination for Presi-
dent. This statement will come in the
nature Of a reply to an invitation to
become a candidate, which will be ad-
dressed to him, signed by leading Re-
publicans of the country. 1t is probable
that eight Republican governors of
western and middle western states will
sign the call. These are all progress
Osborne of Michigan, Stubs of Kan
sas, Hadley of Missouri. Aldrich of Ne
braska, Vessy of South Dakota. Carey
of Wyoming, Johnson of California
and Bass of New Hampshire.
There is possibility that Governor
Eberhardt of Minnesota will join in
the call, although up to this time he
has remained neutral in the presiden-
tial fight. There is good reason to be-
lieve. however, that the governor is
friendly to Col Roosevelt. Other rep
resentative Republicans of national
reputation may join in the call. The
states represented in the call are those
in which a determined fight was made
at the last election. and in which the
Republicans succeeded in face of gen.
eral defeat, mainly because they were

In at the head Of the progressive Re
publican movement in Wyoming There
is reason to believe that Col. Roosevelt
has been consulted concerning this
program, and that he is now in a re-
ceptive attitude. pending the call. That
he will admit his willingness to lead
the Republicans as their candidate for
president is generally conceded.
TAFT'S llEUTENANTS
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The most
positive answer to the story started at
the white house that George w. Per
kins and big Business" were work
ing to nominate Roosevelt over Taft
is the statement made on authority to-
day that Taft's preliminary campaign
for delegates is to be in the hands of
Senator Crane of Massachusetts,, Sena-
tor Penrose Ct Pennsylvania and Sena-
tor Smoot of Utah. These political
worthless came out in the open today
and announced that within two weeks
they would start a campaign in Wash
ington to look after the corraling of
Taft delegates to the Chicago conven-
ton. Senator Crane, is one of the veal
thiest men in the senate. Whenever
Wall street. interests are threatened
Crane is the man relied upon to fix
things at Washington. He is conser-
vative of conservatives. Penrose be-
sides being at head of the Pennsylva-
MIA Republican machine is doughty
defender Of the present tariff. Smoot
is also the special defender in con-
gress of schedule X and protection
generally, and a leading member Of
the Mormon church.

Car Must Always

l0,000-Mile Route

There is iust one way for a motorist
- accumulate a big mileage for his
seasons record. says Clement stude-
baker, jr, and that is by a steady
process Of keeping everlastingly at IL.
The car called on for use day in and
day out is the one that devours the dis
lance. A certain regular run, taken each
working day of the year-from a mans
country nome to his place Of business,
for instance-aceumulates a mileage In
finitely greater than that which comes
from the vacation tour Of the weekend
trip.
THE main factor that enabled our
Bullet EMF 30 TO pass the looooD-mile
mark was that, for nearly three years.
our branch manager in Atlanta used the
car daily between his home In Griffin
and his office in Atlanta-a round trip
Of about seventy miles"
