So far as can be ascertained, Colonel
Roosevelt has not taken any of the Pro-

confidence as to what his course will be.
Colonel Roosevelt is not yet convinced he
cannot obtain the nomination from the
RepubIica convention. and he is prepared
to play his cards up to the very last

Mr.. Roosevelt and his followers are en-
gagged now in a final effort to force tn ;
Colonel upon the Republican convention

Important factors in the Republican
situation. insist, however, that Mr.
Roosevelt cannot obtain the Republi-

born out by the general expression Of
sentiment that has come from the
delegates since they arrived in Chr

There is no attempt on the part Of
the Republican leaders to gloss over
the fact that Col. Roosevelt holds the
fate of the Republican party in the
hollow of his hand, but they are not
considering the possibility of trying
to save the party through accepting
him as the nominee.
