The Republican Snarl

Z EW pre-convention campaigns in the re-
L cent history OF the republic have de-
veloped more bitterness than that which
has been aroused in the ranks of the Re
publican party within the past few weeks.
The fight for the party nomination has
developed into smashing, gnashing con-
test and already the older leaders are grow
ing apprehensivc lest the antagonisms
which have arisen Will gravely endanger
party success in November.
Eight years ago the campaign OF Theo-
dore Roosevelt against President Taft de-
veloped along very similar lines At that
time, however, it merely a two-sided
affair. Now there are four major-league
candidates for the nomination, with the
shadow OF Herbert Hoover growing con-
stantly larger on the party horizon and the
factionalism within the ranks is multiplied
just TO that extent
For the moment the Wood campaign is
giving the greater concern to the party
