SuegcstlOh OF u barley on second
choices at Chicago was interpreted a.
an admission that the progressivcs ar
not ut all confident Of putting the Col
oncl over" and that they are getting
ready to attempt to force the Republic
cans to name u man with Roosevelt
IDEALS by playing up the third ticket
bugaboo.
Among all the namcs of possible Re-
publican candidates caivassed by tho
executive committee yesterday only that
of Justice Hughes me, with any degree
OF favor. and few OF the boaid were Wild
over Hughes. The sentiment against
Elihu Roof was virtually unanimous.
Condemnation Of the Republican old
guard and all its works and disciples
was just as severe as II was four years
ago. II vas grudglngly admitted that "
the Colonel were not available Hughes
might defeat President Wilson.
The old argument a. 10 the lack OF
knowledge Of Justice Hughes's views on
preparedness and the rest Of the Roose-
Welt creed was trotted out. II was agreed
that IN the event of Hughes's nomination
by the Republicans he would have to
~ceclare himself before the Progressive
convention voted on him II he had no,
already don 90.
