Washington; fladley, of Missouri. and
others are being doomed. Progressive
republicans say they will fight Lodge
to the limit. Efcrts are being made to
smooth the situation over, hence the
proposed delay. The fact that other
candidates Gear some one may be made
temporary chairman who will by his
u~tte-ances boost Roosevelt is an en-
bair:sSlng phasc of the miXup.
