 ON ROOSEVELT

 Barnes's determination to make such e tour has been reached since the news of the Bird-Gardiner-Walker coalition in Massachusetts, designed to elect Roosevelt delegates there.
 This move was wholly unexpected by the Barnes element. and it has brought them suddenly to O full reali- zatlon of the strength of the Roose- welt sentiment in the party
 It is said that Barnes feels other states ought to be fortified against a Roosevelt attack such as is being made in Massachusetts. and he pro- poses to personally visit Republican leaders. particularly in the Central West. His demand is that no Repub- lican who failed to vote for Taft in 1912 should be elected as delegate to the June convention.
