National Campaign.

The Democrats having selected
Wilson and Marshall, the Repub-
licans Hughes and Fairbanks and
the Progresslves Roosevelt and
Parker, we can now expect the ma
tionaI campaign to be lively until
the election in November.
Roosevelt has not formally ac-
cepted the nomination, and it is
not expected that he is anxious to
make hopeless fight, as the Pro-
gressive party is weak. On the
face of things at this time, Wilson
seems to have the best chance of
election.
