Facing n Crisis.
I'VE are facing a crisis in the history

lican party has faced crises before and
successfully overcame them. 1t faced q

William E. Andrews, auditor for the
Treasury, discussing what Gov. Wilson
would have to do to win the Presidency
said:
Wilson may retain the Bryan popular
vote of 1908 and Roosevelt may poll more
votes in November by hall a million
than he did in the primaries. and Taft
could still retain the electoral vote of
the States that he carried in 1905 and
electoral college.
For every vote that Roosevelt might
poll from Wilson in the pivotal States
Taft can still lose an additional vote
to Roosevelt in those States and win. to
the point of an almost equal division
of popular votes between Taft and
Roosevelt in each State"
Capt. John G. Capers. president Of the
league, presided over the meeting and
introduced Senator Bradley.
