STANDING OF THE
 CANDIDATES TO DATE

candidate winning in one state today, and being defeated in ali other one tomorrow, 1t is haro to figure out just where the candidates, by this We mear those aspiring for the nomina- 'tion on the Republican ticke, stand. To remove this vague ness. We have compiled the fol- lowing, which is relatively ac- curate:
 The total number Of dele gates to the Republican eonven- ton is to7S.
 Necessary for nomination, a majority. $40.
 Thus far, including Massa- setts. President Taft has secur- ed total of 4e5.
 Col. Roosevelt, including the eight delegates at large from Mass, whom he advises to sup port Taft, has a total of PIT.
 Senator LaFollette, with Wis eonsin and North Dakota at his back has a total of 36.
 Senator Cummings has 10, while four are unclassified.
 Thus it will be seen that up to date 692 delegates have been elected out of the total of i07S. Of these to have majority, provided those backing tho weaker candidates remain true to their pledges, Pres. Taft has only to win 1i5, while Col. Roosevelt must capture 323, or nearly three times as many.
 If op the other hand, the 50 scattering votes now pledged to LaFollette, Cummings, ct al come into the Roosevelt camp, that gentleman, with the strict ly northern and western states still to hear from, stands a fighting chance, otherwise he is down and out.
 And still, when one stops to look the situation over, fairly and squarely, there is no gain the fact, that with all his faults, and they are legion, the American people love Roose- welt still. By their votes, wher- ever they have had a fair oppor- tnnity to express themselves, he has won in almost every state that can be called Repub- lican. If Pres. Taft succeeds in succeeding himself it will be on account of the vote of the delegations from the southern states, of which the vote would have as little effect on the sum total, as the injection of a cake of ice would have on the tenn perature of the place the preachers warn us of.
 Whoever may win, or whoev- CT may lose, the fact remains the same, that the majority does not rule in the United and our vaunted dem ocracy is a farce.
 What the remedy for this con dition should be it were hard to say, our Socialist friends seem 10 be of the opinion that they have the panacea. The trouble is. that the risk of taking up their untried theories is too great. The direct primary and the recall may solve the pro- blem. and should be given the trial first.
