WANTS
E. ROOT
BY ellison Gardner

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July IA.
-Elihu Root is easily In the
lead as republican candidate for
the presidential nomination, Mel
Their Roosevelt nor Taft is being
considered by the party mana
gers.
This is the conclusion of a
canvass recently made by poltti-
clans here. They have been writ
Ing to members of the party in
all parts of the country. The re-
plies are remarkable in their
unanimity.
With hardly an exception Root
is named as the favorite for the
standpat G.. o. p. nomination
and other candidates are named
in the following order-Weeks,
Burton, Fairbanks and Mann.
There are occasional mentions
of Borah, and in some cases the
writer suggests that it would be
wise II a progressive republican
"of the type of Cummins," were
named, but practically all take it
for granted that the party mana
gers will not name a progressive
of the type of Cummins, but will
name someone of the pronounced
standpat order.
1t is the idea of the party man.
ayers that Root embodies the
policies of the republican party as
does no other candidate. He is a
conservative whose long public
career has been uniformly consis-
tent with the ideals of the stand
pat republican conservative.
The republican convention Ia
to be OF the old-fashioned, trade
in-the-back-room variety.
"Favorite sons" are to bring
in the delegations from their re-
spective states, and the nomina-
tion is to be the result of decker
among the leaders and delegates
after they arrive.
Fairbanks, for instance, will
come to the convention as the
favorite son candidate of the In
diana delegation. Sherman or
Mann will have Illinois. William
Alden Smith will have Michigan
Burton or Herrick will have
Ohio. Knox will be the Pennsyl-
vania favorite son. Borah will
have the little delegation from
Idaho with possibly others. Cum.
Minis will represent Iowsj Weeks
will have Massach usetts' delega-
ton; Root will be backed by
New York and possibly other
states.
The republican national COM
mittee will probably control the
republican delegates from the
southern states and the latter
will play a large part in what
ever trade is agreed upon by the
leaders.
In the face of these plans
there is less talk of prospective
amalgamation or working har-
mony between the old-line repub-
licans and the progressives.
The latter are becoming more
disposed every day to go ahead
with their own convention and
name their own candidate; the
latter, very likely, Governor
Hiram Johnson of California.
with possibly Clifford Pinchot OF
Pennsylvania as a running mate.
