COLONEL HAS NOT ENOUGH.
OF greatest immediate concern, of
course, are the results which the

The conflict now has reached a stage
when it is possible to state with abso-

sides that Roosevelt has less than a
majority of the votes in the national
convention in sight. This does not
necessarily mean that Taft has a ma
jCrity in sight either. although the
Taft leaders give semi-private figures
showing a majority of from so to 20
over the combined opposition.
CONFIDENT OF BREAK.
To win the nomination Roosevelt
either must break heavily into the
