ROOSEVELT WAITING,
PUBLISHER ASSERTS
Recognizes "Hair Trigger"
Political Situation, Says
Frank Knox.

Colonel Roosevelts attitude right
now Is a waiting one. He recognizes
the present as hair trigger situation
politically, and Is absorbing developments
with the earnest hope that the position
the Republican party takes and the
character of it's candidates will be such
as to permit hearty support by the mil
lions Of voters who cast Progressive
ballots In 1912, and the 800. 900 who per-
sisted in voting the Progressive ticket
in 1914"
