ALTHOUGH practically all OF the dele
gates to the Republican National Conven-
ton have now been chosen, both PreSi-
dent Taft and Colonel Roosevelt claim to
have majority. The friends OF each are
in the midst of a struggle of the greatest
bitterness, and the way they are abusing
each other now is a good indication OF
the fight that may be expected in the con-
vention. II looks as if President Taft
has slightly the better of the situation, but
it is extremely doubtful if he can hold
his delegates, some Of whom are exceed
ingly restive right now, and Roosevelt
may start stampede at any moment that
will end Mr.. Taft's hopes.
The situation, naturally, calls for COM
promise candidate, but it is idle to talk to
Roosevelt Of compromise-he must be
everything, the whole show, candidate,
platform and all. Nothing but tremen-
dous drubbing will settle him.

VAST municipal corruption and graft
has been uncovered in Atlantic City, and
four members of the city council have
confessed that they sold their votes for
money. The grafters were rounded up
by Detective Burns, but their apprehen-
sion is really due to Governor Woodrow
Wilson, whose honest administration
and appointment of able and fearless men
in New Jersey have brought the crooks
and corruptionists to an accounting.
What an ideal President Woodrow
Wilson would make. Clean and able
and wise and fearless, he would give the
country an administration such as it has
not had in many years.
There's only one thing that stands in
the way of his nomination and election ::
The bosses and professional politicians
know that they can neither fool him nor
bully him, and so he is not acceptable to
them. But the people are for him, and
every now and then the people prevail.

The forces OF TAFT and Roosevelt are
engaged in preliminary SkirmiShing at
Chicago in advance OF the Republican
National Convention, and are calling each
other all sorts OF hard names and charg-

And they are all probably right.

WOODROW WILSON is the logical can
didate for the Democrats, whether the
Republicans put up Mr.. TAFT or Colonel
Roosevelt. With the President renomi-
mated, Governor Wilson would simply
have playful walkover; and with f..
X. for an opponent he would put up such
fight as the Rough Rider has never yet
faced. Wilson's keen rapier would be
more than a match for Roosevelt's big
stick.

Some time ago they received word

due from them to the city on different
accounts. Checks covering the amounts
of the alleged discrepancies were re-
quested. and on failure 10 remit they
were asked to appear before the
aminers TO show cause why they did
not comply. March 4 was the day
set for the hearing, and it is to attend
this hearing that the party left for the
