While this is pretty close to lese ma
jeste and may incur the Coonel's
august displeasure against Mr.. Bird,
it is quite significant, particularly IN
view of the waning OF the Roosevelt

Even in Massachusetts the Roosevelt
slate for delegates has failed, as they

THURSDAY, MAY 4, 1916.

Colonel Roosevelt's third-term boom
received another jolt in the failure OF
delegates favorable to his nomination
TO carry the Massachusetts primaries,
It is evident that Roosevelt will receive
little support in the Republican ma
tional convention from New England,
New York or the Middle West, There
is a probability that the Pennsylvania
delegation will be split between the
Roosevelt and anti Roosevelt forces,
AS matters stand, Justice Hughes
seems TO have the most delegates thus
far chosen of any OF the candidates,
avowed or receptive. Root may get
some votes from New York and New
Jersey and scattering vote from other
states. Burton will be supported by
Ohio, Fairbanks 10y Indiana and Ken
lucky, Sherman by Illinois, Henry
Ford by Michigan and perhaps Nebras
ka, LaFolette by North Dakota and
part of the Wisconsin delegation,
Cummins by Iowa, Minnesota and
some small Western delegations. On
the early ballots there will likely be
scattered votes for other "favorite
sons" and the Southern states, as
usual in Republican conventions, will
peddle out their votes-much reduced
in number-to the best advantage.
While the trend Of Republican senti-
ment now seems to favor Huges. he is
not regarded with especial favor by
the Republican BOSSES, and the out.

The Montenegrins. it seems, are hot
in the collar because King Nicholas
surrendered TO Austria. 1t is declared
that Nicholas, and his dynasty, are
done for forever in Montenegro,
regardless OF the outcome of the war,
for the reason that the blame and the
shame Of surrender which "stings like
q white hot brand" attach TO the
elderly monarch who realized he was
whipped and admitted it formally.
No Montenegrin who is representa-
tive is willing to recognize defeat. He
may be killed, but not conquered, so
Nicholas, who was craven enough to
call halt upon the killing when he
saw he was conquered, has committed
high treason.
The world loves lover much less
than 1t loves tighter, Notwithstanding
the general proclaimed devotion to
peace and the greater the odds against
which he is willing to fight the greater
the halo OF heroism. But it did seem,
TO observers outside of Montenegro,
and better able TO get n birds eye
view Of the whole situation, that had
Nicholas insisted upon continuing to
oppose Austria his action would have
been The mere prosecution OF the
slaughter OF his fellow .countrymen.
