zARST PAPERS HINT THAT GEN OREGON is

back Of Roosevelt trying to bring
about war with Mexico as part of
the big political play to force the
nomination of Roosevelt as the Re
publican candidate for president?
About two years ago The Day
Book predicted that Hearst and his
papers would be back of Roosevelt
this year. For some weeks now Will
lis J. Abbott has been travelling about
the country writing political dope for
the Hearst papers, and his particular
business appears to be to find ROOse-
welt sentiment
John Temple Graves is one of
Hearst's chief political and editorial
lieutenants. In last Sundays Chi
cago Examiner appeared a signed
story by Graves, which is of more
than usual significance. The title
to the story is "Obregon to Have a
Role in Chicago Convention" In
this article Graves says:
THE influence Of Gen. Oregon
upon the fortunes of the national Re
publican convention is neither myth
ical nor imaginary. For with Obre-
gon rests peace or war with Mexico;
not with CarTanZa, obstinate and de-
termined. but helpless in the hands
of his best general If Obregon sees \
he has a chance to strike a great
blow in the beginning for which he
has prepared; if Obregon sees the
chance to crush the PeTshiRg army
at Namiquipa and to strike strong
" with his 10000 Mexicans against
our unprepared and undeveloped
army, then there will be war, real
war, serious war with Mexico.
And behind a serious war with
Mexico looms the shadow of Theo-
dore RooseVelt-ineVitable, Unescap-
able, compeIling-as- the solution of
the Republican problem at Chicago.

is simply a matter of common sense
to know that the rush to Roosevelt

as these impulsiVe- American people

"Any careful forecast, therefore,
of the Republican convention must

The story then goes on to discuss
the respective chances of Hughes.
