Roosevelt Supporter Favored.

Almost Immediately after the decision
Of Theodore Roosevelt was made to
support tho Hughes and Fairbanks
ticket, william r. Wilcox, chairman
of tho republican national committee,
named Harold L. Ickes of Illinois as
a member OF the campaign committee
Mr.. lckes has an Office in western
headquarters in this city, and he holds
membership in the western organiza-
ticn of campaigners. which is headed
man from Kentucky. Mr.. Ickes was pro-
gressive national committeeman from
Illinois He was one of the most ar
dent supporters of Theodore Roosevelt
He knows every progressive leader in
the country well. Today Mr.. -Ickes is
engaged in the task. and there is every
evidence that 1t Is much of a task of
inducing the more or less headstrong
leaders Of the progressive party to
come back to the reservation which
they left four years ago and to induce
all their followers to come with them.
The democrats at national headquar-
ters in Chicago say that Mr.. Ickes Is
not meeting with marked success in
his work. They claim that in five or
six OF the western states some of the
moose leaders are refusing to listen to
the call and that what they will not
hear their followers will not hear. Mr.
Ickes reports success but success may
be a comparative thing.
The republicans must have S5 per
cent of the progressives to make sure
of their victory in some of the states

yet, and this fact must be remembered.
1t Is right to say that month ago the
prospect OF an IS per cent return was
much darker than II Is today. Reports
from sources worthy Of credence make
1t appear that the progressives one by
one or dozens by dozens are coming
back over the line which they crossed
going the other way four years ago.
The heart anxiety of the republican
managers is that the efforts of Ickes,
and of Garfield. his able western cam
paign lieutenant. may not avail to keep
the prodigals coming fast enough to
make up the number necessary to in
sure victory.
Some progressive leaders in this city
believe that only one thing is necessary
to insure the success of the Hughes
and Fairbanks ticket in the doubtful
Dakotas and in Montana Idaho and
Colorado. They want Hiram Johnson
to cut out ten days from hts California
campaign and to use the time in the
states named for purposes of per-
suasion. and Johnson so far as the pro-
gressives are concerned is known as a
persuader. 1t does not seem to be ex-
pected that the even greater persuader
Theodore Roosevelt. will find 1t possible
to go into the places of doubt and
darkness. So 1t is that the dependence
must be placed upon Hiram johnson. If
he win make answer to the call for
help the republican leaders now in Chi
cago feel that the states of uncertainty
will become the states of certainty.
