movement ostensibIy in support of
Roosevelt's nomination is the defeat
of the denomination of President Taft.
Had 1t been dem onstrated that the
candidacy of LaFollette would have
been more likely to compass the de-
1eat of Taft's denomination than the.
candidacy of any other Republican
then the movement would have been
exclusively directed to the support Of
Senator LaFollette. But it was made
apparent to those who have the de-
1eat OF TaftS denomination in view
mat this could not be accomplished
through the candidacy before the ma
tional convention of I1aFollette
1t has seemed to these men that
the only republican whose candidacy
Tor the nomination would be likely to
be more strongly supported in the
convention than that of Taft is Col
cnel Roosevelt.
Mr. Mckinley does not place much
Faith in the report that IaFollette was
used simply as stalking horse or
stool pigeon in the interest of Colonel
Roosevelt'S nomination. Mckinley IS
inclined to the opinion that The sup
port of LaFollette was genuine until
Il was learned that a candidacy would
not avail.
Who Are Leading the Movement.
A careful investigation in Chicago
disclosed apparently that four promf-
nent citizens of Illinois are the leaders
of the anti-Taft league. As a means
10 defeat the denomination OF Taft they
are now concentrating upon Colonel
Roosevelt. The four men whose names
have been furnished to Mr.. Mckinley
