Roosevelt or Hughes VIII Be
His Final Choice.
.FAVORITE SONS ARE JOKES
Roots Nomination Will Mean
Third Ticket, Says Kansan.
Progressive and Republican
Delegates Very Friendly.
BY WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE.


George Matthew Adams.)
In the Republican convention the
favorite son has become a joke. He
still keeps headquarters open but he
is no longer considered by the dele
gates.
For as the delegates from the home
state arrive they tell the truth about
the favorite son; which is that he is no
favorite son at hime. The fellows run
ming on the state ticket are against
him Also the congressman are
against him The favorite son was a
pest in state politics. He got the dele
CATION to keep him quiet. But here
at Chicago his home delegation is
quietly but forcefully spreading the
news that he can't carry his home
state.
The delegations from Indiana and
Ohio and from Massachusetts are en-
thusiastic in their support of their
favorte sons from the lips out. Only
three names are seriously considered
Roosevelt, and Roots name is not on
the Progressive list. A story gained
some credence in Republican circles
this afternoon that Colonel Roosevelt
had declared that he would accept
Root But every Progressive leader
laughed at it.
Root Means Third Ticket.
The nomination of Root means a
third ticket and a revival of the feud
of four years ago. Eliminating Root,
then, Hughes or Roosevelt seems to be
the only candidates upon whom there
is the slightest chance of an agree
ment between the two conventions.
And the Progressive leaders have
made it plain that they will accept
Hughes only after he has made an
equivocaI statement of his position on
the foreign policy and preparedness

PROGRESSIVES ARE SERENE
(BY PERRY ARNOLD.)

Chicago, June 5.-By mid-afternoon
the boom of Justice Hughes mad
achieved a considerable lead. Progress
sive leaders practically admit decid-
ed slump in the Roosevelt boom but
predicted a revival later. The fact
that Frank Hitchcock considered the
chances of the justice good enough to
warrant his dealing in actual figures
was looked upon as significant Hitch
cock is not given to exaggerated
claims. Organization was continued
today to put forward gentle followers
for various less candidates in an ef-
fort to attract Progressive support.
Their main efforts. however, are di-
rected toward decorating the Hughes
band wagon to suit Progressive tastes.
No where is there any organized op-
position to Hughes. Even the Root
supporters in the New York delegation
state frankly that they are for Root
but are not against Hughes. Gradual
ly the idea becoming paramount
with every class of delegates, barring
the radical ProgresSiveS, is the idea
that the first consideration for any
candidate must be an ability to win.
All idea of sacrificing possible victory
at the polls for the sake of continuing
any faction of the party in control of
the organization has vanished. There
is plenty of evidence that even the old
est of the Old Guard are giving more
consideration to what 7. R. might not
be able to do in 1916 than to what he
did in 1912 in Withholding their sup
port.
No Spirit of Fight.
If Roosevelt can convince the old
organization crowd of his ability to
win in November he can win this
week. The influence of Hughes senti-
ment and the Justices Sphinxlike tao
tics is reflected by the delegates and
cldtime conventionites. Coincidently,
there is an absence of Rooseveltian

Washington, June 5.-The stead

Some Admit Real Sentiment of
Electorate Is for Roosevelt.

Chicago. I'LL, June 5.-There is a di-
vision of sentiment among the Kansas
delegates on almost every subject ex-
cept one. The twenty delegates from
Kansas seem to have gathered an idea
from some source that they must beat
Roosevelt at all hazards. The delega-
ton has been about half for Hughes,
half for the field-with Roosevelt not
in the field. Hughes men are appar-
emily switching to Root thinking they
can beat Roosevelt with Root rather
than with Hughes, going to Root =
short time after their arrival at Chi
cago. Apparently change has come
over the dreams of some of the work
ers. This is evidenced by activities of
T. Davenport Smith and Frank Grimes
at the Weeks headquarters all of
which may indicate that some one has
sent out the word be for Weeks -
Some of the delegates now talk Fair
banks while Burton and other favorite
sons are today mentioned by Kansans
in the milling.
Arguments from the Progressive
camp have hardly made a dent on
Kansas delegates except to drive home
the idea that the ProgreSSives under
the White-Johnson leadership will be
for Roosevelt through thick and thin.
several OF the Kansas 0elegateS ADMIT
that ultimately, if they voted the pres
ent sentiment of voters at home they
would line up behind Roosevelt after
they went through the early balloting.
They hate to admit this but when such
standpat leaders as Frank Grimes,
Travis of lola, Greer of Winfield, and
other prominent former Taft men are
in tEa hotel lobbies with arguments
for the colonel there is a pricking up
of ears and a turning of the auditory
organs to the grass roots. There is
this to be said:
Roosevelt Talk. Everywhere.
Everywhere about the corridors. and
from many different states, is Roose-
welt talk. But the ma jority of the
fusal to vote for him. Some of them
go so far as to say they will not sup

the sentiment among the constituents
is for his nomination. From many OF
these same delegates is an admission
that with Roosevelt at the head OF
the ticket, real pep will be put in the
