conservative, the interview caused
much comment.
Senator Sutherland, however, has
only voiced in public What many pros
minent republican leaders have been
aying beneath their breath for some
time. The bitterness engcndered in
last years campaign over R~uCseVelts
boiling OF the ticket has been stead
NY growing less and many republi-.
cans have been seeking grounds OF
compromise ON which they could so
before the country with a chance oil
success.
Senator Burton OF Ohio. another
republican, looked thoughtful when
the matter was suggested to him, and
remarked Significantly
" Without committing myself,
there is one thing to be said in favor
of the suggestion of Roosevelt as the
republican candidate in 1916, if Mons
mated he certainly Will be elected.
Senator Cummins Of Iowa. who
was the prime mover in the reorgan-
ization plan, may be a candidate for
the republican nomination in the
event that he is reelected to the
Senate. But he has a very hard fight
ahead OF him next year. and his
friends do not expect that he viii be
come a formidable factor for the
nomination. He has discussed the
Roosevelt talk with his colleagues
and it is known that he looks upon
Colonel Roosevelt as likely to be a
strong factor in the republican plans
for 1916.
The surprising feature to polite
al observers is to note the prompt
ecquiescence of so many republicans
in congress who have been classcd as
regulars in the suggestion that
Roosevelt be the party leader in 1916.
All of these proceed on the theory
that Colonel Roosevelt would be Will
ing to head the republican ticket. on
this point, though. there seems to be
a little doubt"
