 The Washington staff correspondent of the In diana Daily Times of Indianapolis in review of the rational republican situation tries to eliminate all candidates for the nomination for the presidency except the favorite of Indiana. Beginning with J.lihu Root he says.
 Root has failed to go the front in spite of carefully staged launching in the recent unofficial New York state convention of republicans.
 If Roots speech means anything, it Roosevelt rather than Root, for it was but pale repetition of the demands Roosevelt singy and alone has been outlining for year and half It is gen orally believed here that would pave the way Roosevelt rather than for the man who made the speech. Root is likely get far with the middle west and west, his presentment of the Roosevelt stuff. If we've to have Roose veltism we'll take Teddy with it. is the response to the Root outcry."
 United States Senator Borah Governor Johnson and osborn of Michigan found to be only vice presidential clay. Other candidates whose qualities the correspondent does not dsparage, he thinks will he found unavailable for reason or another such as Weeks, and sherman who will turn to Fairbanks when convinced of their failure. But all this it will be observed biased personal opinion and conjecture based unstated information.
 We gather from the article that the fondest hopes of the Fairbanks followers founded analogous
 
 themes political prognosticators notwithstanding they seldom bear any relation another. There used to be d theory that no who had been United States couh be elected president of the United States for the reason that many sena- tors who had tried it had been defeated. Those who believe political anaoges might well believe spooks. It is d superstition.
 The correspondent finds that in 1888 there strong democratic president unopposed for re- nomination; that the republicans nominated against him an Indiana and that the Indiana elected; hence, Fairbanks this year. Why things should happen this year they happened in 1888 tbe correspondent does not explain.
 But the correspondent does find it easy the Roosevelt obstacle. But to him "it does not appear that the Roosevelt boom for the rcpub- hcan nomination will go forward unlmpeued,' but the of the impeachment is not well outlined. Says the correspondent
 Starting with the Massachusetts sensation, the stand for Roosevelt taken by Bird Gardner and others the Roosevelt talk has become very vigorous. So startling recent developments that William Barnes Jr, and others If lis type constrained adopt heroic in effort to suppress the Roosevelt movement. The Root speech merely accel eratcd Teddy. In Kentucky the Roosevelt forces ap peared under the banner-I1ughes or Roosevelt-and got delegates, at the same time putting through rule against instructing the Kentucky delegation. This may prove be significant the last.
 
 "f the Roosevelt movement Such men as sherman in Illinois will oppose Roosevelt to the bitter end It is well known the national republican committee of 1912 just powerful this year it four years ago. and there signs indicate the committee is fully hostile against Roosevelt as it in 1912. The situation is much like it this time in 1912
 What heroic Barnes has been strained to adopt to suppress the Roosevelt ment the correspondent does take the trouble inform us there has been visible effective of any methods If Barnes has done anything vet to quench the Roosevelt confgration he has made a mistake and poured oil instead of water on the flames
 Concerning the Kentucky delegation, the corre- spondent rightly conjectures that the rule against instructions may prove be very significant" It is more than significant; it is convincing of the fact the friends of Colonel Roosevelt in control The Fairbanks crowd claiming twenty-one of the delegates, tried in vain to secure instructions. The policy of the friends of Colonel Roosevelt all the country, in accordance with his expressed wishes against instructions easily prevailed.
 Coming to the constitution of the national com mtee it may be the correspondent says, power ful as it was in but think that it is wiser; tha it has the perspicacity, at least of the burnt child Neither is it that it is hostile to Colonel Roosevelt it then for some of the committee men who opposed him then have declared a revision of their sentiments wthe respect to him. Barnes of is hostile than ever, but the republican party likely wreck itself for the satisfaction of Barnes.
 The situation is not at all like it in 1912. But if it were and if it should remain unchanged Until after the early days of June should have precisely such situation in the early days of November had four years ago. It is a of that latter situation that think the repub leaders Barnes and few others excepted desire to avoid
