TAfrs vs. ROOSEVELT.

for the Republican nomination TOT president finally settles a question that for many weeks has been of Absorbing interest to the entire country. It foretells memorable contest for the nomination, but what is of even greater importance, if ushers the Republican party to the threshold of crisis which is to determine what forces and what principles are to control 1t hence forward. The wisdom, propriety or consistency of MT. Roosevelt's action is not to be debated now. He has perfect right to allow his name to go before the national convention if he wishes. And the Republicans have perfect right to nominate and the people per- feet right to elect him if they desire to. None of these rights is to be challenged. MT. Roosevelt's so- called pledge not to accept another nomination ceased to be binding even from the standpoint of con- sistency when MT. Taft was nom- mated for the presidency. It would be idle to say that he intended by that announcement to bind him. self against all contingencies, with at least twenty years of active use- fulness before him, and even. if he did he would be entirely justified Exchanging his mind at any time he saw fit. Moreover, as we have heretofore pointed out, criticism of his candidacy on this and on other grounds comes solely from those in his own party who dislike him and from those Democrats who fear him. To such criticism there can of course be little solid foundation. Neither can there be any objection to Mir. Roosevelt as third-term president. There is no sound reason why our presidents should not serve three terms if we wish them to. Washington, although frequent ly referred to as setting the two term limit, was in reality believer Tn third terms. Moreover, even if there were a constitutional or mora barrier to third-term elec- tions, MT. Roosevelt would not come within the inhibition, because he has been elected president but once.
 Mr. Roosevelt's candidacy is not, therefore, to be dealt with in a captious attitude, but from the Standpoint of an actual reality. The Republican party ought to choose between him and Mir. Taft not with regard to loose senti. ment about this, that and the other thing that have nothing to do with the merits of either candidate, but solely with regard to which is the better man for the nomination. On this basis the cleavage will be, in a general way, the progressive ele.

considerable progressiveness in the Republican party it is found more in the rank and file than in the political leadership. The latter element, largely has remained con- servative-that is, clinging to the doctrines and government of Mo- Kinley and Harrison. Some of it is still intensely reactionary. This element, we are inclined to believe is in control of the party machin- cry in most of the states. Four years ago it accepted Taft with great reluctance and serious mis- givings, simply because he was the candidate of Roosevelt. Today it will be almost solidly for him because of his refusal to align him. self openly with the progressives and because of his conservatism in office. The rank and file may prefer Roosevelt, but in those states which select delegates by the convention system, and there are only few which do not, the party machinery will be with Taft. The great federal machine is almost unit for the president, and from the practical side of politics it is evident that Taft has the better of the argument in the selection of delegates. There is, however, this one weakness in the chain, or rather uncertainty: owing to the keennes of the contest that is certain to be aroused many of the states will probably send uninstructed dele- gations to Chicago, preferring not to tie their hands, but to leave them.hee to leap whichever way the tide of battle flows. With 8 convention made up in the main of uninstructed delegates Roosevelt would be formidable candidate. His great personal popularity, the magnetism of his name and the demand for a militant leader with whom to oppose the Democrats might sweep the convention, not withstanding it's inclination or sober judgment tended toward the president.
 Roosevelt will have the support of thousands simply because he is Roosevelt, with little thought about principles or anything else. He will have the support of the pro- gressives who go under that name. It has been said he will have the support of big business in the east, because of his position on the trust question and of his comparative silence on the tariff issue, but tha. is by no means certain. Large numbers of the farming class will also be with him. As things look now, Taft will have the support of the average com mercial, industrial and of conser- vative citizens generally. He will also attract great many voters who, while sympathizing with the progressive movement believe in his sincerity and statemanship and admire his record as chief execut-

censuring President Taft for attempting

very sensitive about the dignity and
prerogatives Of the Senate. Taft's letter
