Two recognized obstacles stand in the way of Re-
publican One is the threat of the Progress
i've party to nominate candidates for Congress in
every district outside of the solid South thus keep
ing the party divided and the other the active par
ticipaton by Col Roosevelt in the approaching cam
paign.
The first proposition is serious in its menace to
Republican solidity but it is not In 1912 there
less than 2I6 Progressive candidates for Con-
nominated and voted for, that, exclusive of
the solid South there only about 100 districts
where the third party was not represented on the
Congressional ticket. Less than score of the 2Io
elected, but nasmuch all OF them contributed
more less to Democratic victory, thus giving many
districts a Democratic Representative for the first
time their candidates. created considerable resent
men which it will be difficult to overcome. 1t is ad-
mitted of course by the Republican leaders that if
Col Roosevelt actively participates in the campaign
he may rally his rapidly dispensing army through the
power of his individual leadership. If he goes into
Maine, however he will find himself opposed on the
stump by ex-Gov Hadley, Of Missouri who was one
of his chief leutenants at Chicago, but who has now
accepted the invitation of the Maine State Repub-
lican committee to make Republican speeches.
If he goes into Pennsylvania he will find that during
his absence from the country the Progressive organi-
zation in that State has dwindled nightly; and
in Illinois, another former stronghold of his party,
there evidences that of the standpat straight
out Republican variety may come to Congress if
they wish to do 1t is quite possible, therefore,
that Col Roosevelt may not be formidable
nor as effective in 1914 as he was in 1912.
At any rate, the political situation throughout the
country has so materially changed during the past
two or three months that Democratic victory next
fall is by means the certainty which it ap-
peared to be. Enough doubt has been injected into
the situation through the antagonisms engendered by
Wilson's policies and through the dwindling of the
Progressive strength, to give assurance of lively
contest 1t is now certain that the campaign will not
be one-sided affair, after all
