No one questions, however, the col
onels desire to be a prominent factor
in the agreement upon a republica n
who would stand a show of
election.
Nor is there disposition among the
old line republicans to deny him the
qualification which this pose would
give him, or to minimize the immense
Importance to the party if he would
after the convention be able to utter
his famous ejaculation, Delighted"
over the nomination.
Some republicans at the Capitol think
that current happenings among repub-
leans of ali ranks indicate clearly the
tendency which is assuming the force
of a tidal wave to agree upon a can
didate Of a progressive type, vet not of
the bull moose type.
Who that man is will be determined
at Chicago after full and free con :
ference in which Col. Roosevelt will un-
doubtedly figure. and it is predicted by
MANY republicans that he will be ac-
ceptable to Col. Roosevelt, and that
thereupon the little bull moose conven-
tion will assent and all elements of
the old republican party will be re-

publican leaders here privately
expressed today. was that the ac-
ton OF the bull moose conference
in Chicago yesterday forecasted
an effort OF the bull moosers to
hold up the republican party and
get all they may in the final de-
termination upon the selection of
the republican nominee.
1t was not considered probable
that this effort will succeed to it's
expected extent with the regular
republicans, whose convention
will be Eeld concurrentlv with
the bull mooscrs, although the
sincerity OF the bull moose leaders
in their wish to defeat the demo-
cratic party is not questioned and
successful cooperation is conf
dently expected.
Refuse to Be Dominated
The regular republicans, it was said.
do not intend to nominate a man who
will be Objectionable to the progress
sives who have left the bull moose and
returned to the old party as shown in
recent election returns.
But it is not likely, it is said, that
handful of bull moosers will be al
the republicans of the nation.
One very practical, advantage is seen
in holding the two conventions stimuli
taneously and that is that it will thus
be possible to bring republicans of all
classes into touch with one another
and permit private conferences and ex-
change of views which in the end
might lead to better understanding
The action at Chicago yesterday Is
thought to have been the sequel to a
series of recent events in and out of
the political world, the motive of
which was the taking of practical
steps to defeat the democratic party
in 1916. Business as well as political
considerations entered into this mo-
tive. AS this object is dearest to the
heart of Col. Roosevelt, and as it is
realized that his cooperation is de-
sirable. he has been consulted
Position of Col. Roosevelt.
One way of defeating the democratic
party is to bring about a friendly feel

and all others. Politicians here said
today that they recognize that Col.
Roosevelt cannot throw his bull moose

at the same time the republicans will
not take action which will compel the
animal to jump overheard IN despair
and cause him to leap after it.
Most republican leaders here are still
of the opinion that the colonel does
not expect to be nominated, as that
would be inconsistent with his fixed
desire to defeat the democrats. He
