THE RESULT =. OHIO.

The loss OF his home state after terrific campaign
to hold IT, is a stunning blow to President Tafts poll
teal The indications are that Roosevelt has
won thirds the delegates OHIO to
the republican national convention Taat is OF ITSELF
of much practical importance but important IS
tie that the najouy Of he republicans whe ga
tc*tated in the primary vo,ed against the
:on of one IF their own number for the pres, e,.,
rho rejection Of Taft by hs lone ave SHY
hat may net be lightly dismissed
TIE Taft bureau has been Calming mat th9 pIe-I-
dent is wl5mn ties of a majority of he doe
Gates to the repulla1 rational convention and that
is it is quite possible that he may pick up enough
himself the nomination OF the Chicago con
yention the parys candidate for president provided
those who are counted for to him. With the
Roosevelt tide popularity running as strongly it
has been and is it is inevitable that dsinegraon will
set in among the mass of delegates counted for Taft
and that OF them Will slough off to Colonel Roose
welt before the convention it Especially is this
true Of TIE delegations from the South II the Taft
forces be held in phalanx, the supporters Of
Grant held in the convention of 1880 the presi
dents nomination is possibility, but there is lack
of cohesveness in the whole Taft organization and
all along, that makes this an unlikely prospect
but, the organization succeeds IN carry

CaSo it will be by tremendous strain the whole
political machinery, and in the face of a popular dis
satisfaction of proportions That is certain to

the convention dominates Taft Roosevelt will

tons from the republican organization when he goes
to the polls 1t has passed of power of the Taft

either the formally nominated candidate of the
publican party or as an independent candidate claim

Will Taft withdraw and leave open the conserva
tive leadership of the party the opportunity Of com
promising the situation? Doubtless he would do that
if would promise relief from Roosevelt Mr.. Taft
did DESIRE in the first instance president, and
he has shown stomach for the fight to which he
has been forced for denomination. He would, per-
haps gladly be rid the whole confusing business But
Colonel Roosevelt that the only basis of
compromise that will admit is his nomination.
He refuses to arbrate He says is nothing to
arbrate that he is the one and the only who can
lead the progressive success and tina: he
is going to lead it. Besides. Mr. Taft has the best
claim to consideration at the hands his party that
can be presented of ali republicans. If he is to bel
abandoned Roosevelts right the field is en-
HANGED Who else can be presented in place Of Taft
with any title recognition that Taft does not
hold? The only possibility of successful substitution of
candidate for Taft and Roosevelt in the voluntary
remuneration of Roosevelt or put correctly

Roosevelt Of the candidate,
