New York, Feb. 14--A serious split
between former President Roosevelt
and the progressive leaders, who are
grooming him to oppose President
Taft, is impending to-day according to
reports from the Outlook office, az a
result of Roosevelt's dislnclination to
adopt a radically progressive stand in
his address to the Ohio constitutional
convention at Columbus Wednesday
1t is reported that the hitch has re-
suited over an endorsement Of the
trusts plan for less business hysteria,
which Roosevelt threatened to incor-
porate in his speech
The progressive leaders here told
Roosevelt that such an utterance
would ALLEVIATE the Western progress
sives and would cost him the nomina-
tion.
The conference is progressing this
afternoon and every effort is beinl
used to induce Roosevelt to eliminate
this feature Of his speech.
