When ex-President Taft made the
remark out in Washington that
should a man appear as candidate fol
office who has not and does not sub
scribe to the opinions CT the republi-
can party he Should be licked by re-
publicans.
The words of the ex-president were
significant at the time but we're view
ed in the larger sense. Most people
supposed that he was talking gener-
ally. But recent news that ex-Presi-
dent is to go on the republican bal
lot in a great many states having
the presidential primary makes GER
tain that Taft had Roosevelt in mind
when he made his Seattle s tspeech.
The state Of Washington was one of
the states to secede from the republi-
can party. Like most Pacific states
it was for Roosevelt and proabbly
is for him now. :
AS against any other candidate
the republicans could name, Roose-
welt would get the delegation from
Washington and from California
(Which state insisted on recognizing
Roosevelt as republican all along).
Borah might carry Idaho against
him, if Borah is a candidate, but Ore
gon would 60 for Roosevelt.
Reports made by field agents
of various candidates to republican
headquarters in Washington indi-
cate that the old Roosevelt following
is not dead and the Weeks and Root
men say that" in the central and
western states Roosevelt is very
strong-and as a republican, not as
a progressive party man, and that 1T
is definitely decided to place the
name of the strenuous one On the
primary ballots and before conven-
lions selecting delegates.
Ex-President Taft has been So
journing on the western coast and Is
able to observe conditions. He sees
the Roosevelt stock high among re-
it was the candidacy of Roosevelt In
1916, with Roosevelt the candidate OF
the republican party, that concerned
Taft and that inspired his speech.
If Roosevelt really goes after the
republican nomination land there is
now evidence that he Will there is
going to be a merry pre-nomin alton
campaign. The west will probably
start the movement and the fHur-
rah, rough!rider, red fire campaign
will be on.
Mr.. Taft is plainly worried. He
SCENTS great trouble. A stencil has
come to his nostrils. But what can
he do? But little in the west. How
much in the east and central states
remains to be seen.
Mr.. Taft's notice to republicans in
cludes not only the kicking cut Of
candidates who do not subscribe to
the republican party before the NOM
ination, but after the nomination,
at election time. In case Rose
welt is a candidate he advises bolt,
without concessions.
The American public may begin
to see an interesting campaign APP
preaching, with Mr.. Roosevelt and
Mr.. Taft in it to the knife and the
knife to the hilt. It is time now
for talking, but soon will be time
for deeds" as Roosevelt would
say. Is Mr.. Taft contemplating
anything in the line of "deeds?'
