Representative Gardner, after a con.
ference with Colonel Roosevelt, gave
out a remarkable interview in which
he stated that, while he and the col.
onel We're agreed that the rough rider
would make the best possible presi-
dent, the colonel would support one OF
three men. Two of them were
Hughes and Knox and the third man
was undisclosed, presumably, however,
Lodge or Root.
Delegate Week for Favorite Sons.
Republican delegates were elected
during last week from Virginia. Will
liam Alden Smith probably was de-
clared Michigan's favorite son over
Henry Ford. Monday. Today Illinois
voted fer Sherman without contest.
Next Tuesday win be awarded the
Iowa delegation. Interest for the time
being centers in Montana, where two
sets of delegates have been placed In
the field for the primary of April 81.
One is for Cummins. the other. headed
by former Senator Dixon, fhe Roose-
welt manager at Chicago in 1912, might
be inferred friendly to T. r. Original
ly Cummins Burton, Weeks. Root, Bo-
rah, Fairbanks and Sherman were on
the primary list in Montana, but all
withdrew except Cummins, who has
been given the ball to carry for the
allies against Dixon.
With the election of the Virginia
delegates, POS delegates of 90S have
been chosen and 1874 are uninstructed.

the ticket. The appointment of Tom
Taggart to a seat in the senate and
his arrival here have made things
roster for Marshall. Taggart does not
wish the honor taken away from lndi-
ana and his wishes are more likely to-
be followed than those of any otherl
man.
What interest there was in demo-
cratic politics was stirred when it wasI
that President Wilson Will
make a keynote speech at the Jeffer-
son day banquet of the Common Coun-
sci club April 13. The Common Coun-

World. Its secretary is Hudson Thomp |
son, an assistant attorney general Oni
its membership roll are such common
as Josephus Daniels and
worth printing because its seemsl
strange that such club should exist
and be so little known.
