whereby the profit may be TAX

agitation has gone on in this
nation for increased army and
navy expenditures at least some

by great manufacturing interests

increased expenditures. Here.

method of getting their plan to
a vote in the House.
The rules of the Democratic
caucus provide that. upon the

ROOT BOOM BRINGS
LEADERS TO SEE HIM


Root will lead on the first ballot In the
convention. II he permits his name 70 be
formally presented.
1t was explained to-day that he Is
particularly strong in New England. The
Connecticut and Rhode Island delega-
tions are very friendly to him and II
Is expected that he will have strength In
Maine and New Hampshire. Also. say
Republican leaders In Congress. he will
get support as the "favorite sons" drop
out.
Blu the general opinion Of the @. o. p.
leaders Is that Mr.. Roots name may
have been entered too late in the fight.
Some were expressing the fear to-day
that his name was now being put for
ward for the purpose OF obs,ructing the
movement for Justice Hughes.
Several months ago. said one prom
inent Western Senator. at would have
been possible to have nominated Mr..
Root II his own State had shown the
proper spirit toward the suggested sup
port for his candidacy. Throughout the
middle West and even in the far West,
where the Progressive sentiment Is
strong. Root was regarded as a favoritc
because of his great ability and his
special qualifications TO deal with the
questions that will arise after the close
Of the European war. but as soon as
the word went out that the country
was looking kindly on Senator Roofs
candidacy, a backHre vas started In
New York"
But II was conceded that Root will at
least get the compliment OF a large vote
on the first few ballots In the conven-
tion. and that unless Justice Hughes is
nominated his candidacy may reach sub
Stan'ial deyelOpmeuts
Senator Wadsworth looks Upon the
Roosevelt support in the New York dele
cation as Insignificant. He predicted
to-day that the Colonel would have no
appreciahle following In the New York
state delegation unless he could show
"A big vote outside of New York. and that
under che most favorable circumstance
Roosevelt would not get moro than half
a dozen delegates. Wadsworth animated
that Justice Hughes might have "a ma
iority OF the New York delegates on the
first ballot. but u. declared that after
a ballot or two Senator Root would have
u majority.
