ats a poor earthquake that does n.

The earthquake disturbances OF Sen

The manner In which the ~earthduak.

bling motion Of the earth's crust BE-
comes exceedingly violent 1t produces
deep cracks in the surface. The earth
quake, II is well known, rolls over tia
! surface OF the earth In a certain direc
ton. Just as a wave rolls over the sur
face of the ocean.
The earthquake, however. is n.
working in a fluid medium. and its ac.
ton upon the more stif and brittls
crust Of the earth produces many Kind,
of fractures and rcarrangements Of III.

pubIicans Who Have Been
Prominently Talked of as Can
didates at Chicago Convention.
Next Weeks Article Will Deal
With Democratic Candidates.
BY WALTER WILLIAMS.

HICAGO on June IS will be-
come the battle-ground Of n
of the most remarkable Re-
publican national conventions
In the party's history. There, in the
great coliseum, on the day mentioned,
will begin a several cornered struggle
for the presidential nomination. Po-
litical experts have been guessing for
months as to what will be the out
come. While President Taft and Sen
ator La Toilette of Wisconsin made
no secret of their attitude from the
time the first faroff rumblings of an
other presidential campaign were
heard, other formidable aspirants,
while maintaining a significant silence,
were saving wood. Topping these
sphinx figures in the political arena
has been Theodore Roosevelt, the only
living ex-president.
II Am not a candidate" Colonel
Roosevelt has kept repeating, and
nobody could smoke him out. Re-
porters besieged Sycamore Hill in
vain. One editor, in despair after re-
peated attempts to force the colonel
out In the open, announced, "One thing
is certain, and that is that Colonel
Roosevelt is a candidate or he isn't"
And that really represented the stu
alton, so far as anybody could find out.
The Eureka sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1902-current, 1912-03-02

it was made evident that there would
be no immediate open break between
himself and Roosevelt. At the same
time La Toilette announced he wouldn't
quit and that he was no stalking horse
for Roosevelt, as had been imputed In
u~nfriendly quarters. Taft's declaration
and that of La Toilette put new ginger
into the situation, and since then (eaTiy
in january other developments have
served to further enliyen things.
While of the five men prominently
talked of as a presidential nominee
Taft, Roosevelt, La Toilette, Hughes
and Cummins-Taft and La Toilette
alone openly proclaimed their candi-
dacy, booms for the others were built
up apace, and there were still others,
some of which were booms only to
perish without ceremony.

The TAFT TOUR

News leaked out as long ago as last
August that the work of securing a re-
nomination for President Taft was
then under way, and a little later the
president set out on a speechmaking
tour of the country which included an
invasion of the insurgents strongholds.
After his return to Washington prepa-
rations for the impending battle In his
behalf acquired new impetus. Then
came the declaration, on Jan. 3, on
the authority of President Taft him
self. that he was In the contest to the
end. Following this came Taft's spe-
cial Ohio itinerary in the same month.
In a sense the president had already
fired the first gun in his new campaign
in the form of messages enumerating
his attitude on several big subjects.
Speaking of tours and things, Senator
La Toilette has proved NJ laggard in
the pursuit of the nomination. The
Wisconsin statesman has been doing a
bit of running around the country on
his own account.
