WILL FORCE THE SENATE TO VOTE on WOOL BILL
Win and We're For You; Lose and We're Agn
You," Say Office Holding Friends to Roosevelt
ax VIRGIL V. MnNIat

Washington. July IA word to
2uLh2 sentiment: Please hurry up
and e-yEgellize, SO that a few prorni-
nsat progressive Republicans may
2@x1'c SoVn off the fence and tell US
wksrs taay really stand.
This is proving q hard summer for
a LOT OF governors and senators and
others who hold positions through the
grace of the Republican party. Strong
partisans of Roosevelt before the Chi
cago convention, and during the prog
ress Of the bitter fighting at the Coli
scum, they hesitated at taking the
third party leap following the nomi-
nation of Taft.
Wen go back home" they said
"and let public sentiment crystallizs.
It oughtn't to take long to find lust
which way the cat will jump
AS 1T develops, the cat is just as un-
decided as anybody else, and senti-
ment absolutely refuses to clarity
One important detail has been settled
through the nomination of Woodrow
Wilson by the Democrats: there Is no
chance Of Democratic aid in furthering
the cause OF the new party.
Now then, who Is going to tell Gov
ernors Stubhs of Kansas, Deneen OF
Illinois, and Hadley of Missouri, just
what is wise and safe to do? Each
secretly believes that his constituency
favors Roosevelt, and each feels that
the votes of Roosevelt followers are
necessary for his further political ad-
vancement. At the same time, each
realizes that new party is a shalky
ship. Do you wonder that these men,
and a lot of others in official positions,
are trying to keep out of the limelight
just now?
Gov. Hadley and Gov. Deneen each
announced at the outset that he could
not countenance the Roosevelt move
ment. Not long since, each spoke a
bit more favorably of the Bull Moose
cause. They would doubtless like the
benefits Of the Roosevelt support
without taking chances by supporting
Roosevelt themselves.
Gov. Aldrich, of Nebraska, is another
Roosevelt man who declines to leave
his party. Gov. Osborn of Michigan,
has taken the novel position of en-
dorsing Wilson. Senator Borah viii

tow and Clapp are counted Roosevelt
men without any reservations at all
Walter Brown, the Ohio political lead
er. has renounced the Roosevelt cause
entirely One could hardly expect a
man whose chief interest lies in party
management to tie up with a new
movement
Here IS the crux Of the whole sit

party lies with the voters, and no one
can tell how the voters stand II
Roosevelt can still count upon his
strength in the primaries, he will be

expect advances similar to whatever
the engineers obtain.
