parties have recently been made b%
REPUTABLE newspaper and other
agencies and in every section OF the
country, and with the single exception
| OF the financial district in the lower
| end of Manhattan island. they have
| all told one unanimous story. In more
than half a million votes so tested, Col
Roosevelt has led in the balloting by
| an average ratio of more than > to l
over Mr.. Taft and by clear majority
lover all the candidates combined, both
Republican and Democratic
while these unofficial tests Of
Presidential preference cannot be
Inathematically accurate no sane man
lean longer doubt the overwhelming
sentiment among the voters of the
| ceuntrv. who by their ballots in No
ivember viii determine the character
| of the next administration. In politi-
lcal circles it is no longer question
iof doubt that in every state where the
| Republican voters, under Presidential
| preference election laws can express
Their real choice Of a Presidential can
| didate that Col. Roosevelt will have
Ieverv single delegate from those states
Ito the Republican National conven-
tor.
The only hope left 70 those Republi-
/ cans who are opposed to the nominal
ton of Col Roosevelt is 10 control,
through the prostitution of federal pat
ronage in the Democratic states of the
South, where no Republican electoral
vote is possible. the delegates from those
states together with delegates to the
national convention who are named in
conventions largely controlled by polit-
zeal bosses. The Republican voters of
the great virile Republican states of th2
North and West de not propose that
their candidates for President shall ne
named by such methods.
"Neither in the history of American
politics has a more fiagrant prostitu-
ton of the power of federal patronage
been witnessed than when recently in a
certain Southern state a batch of 10 fed
eral offices was put up at auction for
future delivery to the highest bidder in
delegates to the national Republican
convention. The open acknowledgment
that political patronage has been and IS
being withheld from duly elected and
accredited Republican senators and rep
resentatlves in Congress who would not
pledge personal allegiance to the renom-
nation of Presidential candidates has
caused thoughtful men to inquire wheth-
err bribery by the direct use of money
is any less reprehensible than bribery
by appointment to office.
Responding to the overwhelming SEN
timent of the Republican voters, the ma
tional organization that has been created
for the furthering of Col Roosevelt
candidacy believes that he will be nom
mated at Chicago as the standardbearer
of the Republican party and overwhelm-
ngly elected in November
In announcing his appointment of the
executive committee, Mr.. Dovell issued
statement in which he said that during
the last two months lit has been abun-
dainty proved that the overwhelming
majority of the American people desire
that Theodore Roosevelt again shall
serve them as President, and that in
spite of the opposition of the selfish in
terests of the ofticeholder machine ne
can be renominated.
