 less words to Johnson and h
 associates and followers wl
 are here determined to accom-
 pllsh their purpose to nominal
 Roosevelt, and drive into tn sea of oblivion the old tim
 conservative leaders of thI East and South.
 Best typifying the East is Sc ator Murry Crane of Massacbu sets, the recognized brains O the Taft element.
 Small of body, subtle minded lsoft of voice, so-called cap "Alrs well, let well enougl alone,' he and his associates o tain of industry, the very per- lsonlfication of the creed oI the East are fighting quietly but none the less grimly for thd maintenance of the old order Iof things, and to prevent the party of conservatism and of peace which they have so long controlled from falling into thd hands of these wild and wool7 ly men from the west.
 The fact is hourly becoming more and more apparent that Roosevelt and Taft are but the pawns in the game. It would be just the same if there were mo Roosevelt or Taft. for the moment the fates have thrown the leadership of the opposing forces into their hands. That is all. The conflict is infinite fly bigger and more significant than the personal controversy between the two candidates for the presidency.
 It is one of the periodic crises of the ages-old and irreconcil- able conflicts between the con- servatism, smugness and reg ularity of age, and the courage restlessness and irregularity of youth.
 It is the untamed spirit of the West. bred of it's mountains and plains and deserts, aganst the conventionalities of the East, bred of it's castes of class, it's skyscrapers and orderly ideas of life.
 Whatever the outcome of this titanic struggle, so far as the presidential nomination is concerned, one thing is certain:
 The influence of the Western invaders, whether for good or for evil, is bound to be written into the party platform in bold type.
 The national committee, by seating the Taft delegates il the Southern states where con= tests had been brought and by overriding the apparent pop- ular vote in certain of the di= rect primary states, have given the conservatives an apparent majority of the delegates to the controversy. How real that majority is cannot be told un~ til the temporary organization is completed. But it was cer- tain, and the Taft men admit it, that whether the president is re-nominated or not, the plat form will contain the progress sive blanks for which the West has been fighting for for years.
