In tho mlndH of a largo niimlior of
ropulilk-nn voters in, Who will ho

ptilillnin party?
It In a well Bellied fuel and one;
which political writers do not doclKO i
that President Taft Is very milch in !
disfavor with tho rank and 111m of;
tho voters of his own parly. The
reasons for this are many. Mr. Taft
has been an unwise politician, he lias
not played the game of politics with j tlon Is will ho allow his name to he

itonsovoit. enihodieB, more than
any nthr man in the county, the
ideals and the faith of the people.
In their present dilemma tiiey turn
to hliu as the one man who can
help them. Hut will this sentiment
be recognized by the party leaders,
who may. In an effort to inve the
election, turn upon Taft and cham
pion the ex-presldent? It Is doubtful
if they will do this and there Is little
chance to stampede tho convention
for Kooesvelt, The stampede has
been tried before with poor results.
.Many things may happen before
June IKth to make Mr. Taft a more
available candidate, and many things
may happen to make him sill! more
unpopular. Of these mutters we do
not wrlle. The fact remains that
i a it can oe re-nominated, 'i ne ques-
voters In tho republican ranks and
the Invective of the opposite politic
al loaders. Yet with all his mistakes
.Mr. Taft has gone ahead and en-! J
rteavored to bring about much con
structive legislation. In this ho has
been fairly successful.
But tho white light of publicity
has been played so constantly upon
the liliindcrn of the president that
the people have failed to give credit
where credit Is really duo. and as a
rsult the present occupant of the
White House Is perhaps tho most
unpopular president since the days
of .lohiiBon.
Tho president not only has a
strong opposition In tho democratic
parly to overcome, but tins n deter
mined an aggressive spilt In bis
own party with which to contend.
The so-called progressive wing of the
republican party Is Irrevocably op
posed to tho re-nomlnatlon of Mr.
Tnft and has already in tho field as
tin active candidate, Senator Hubert
1m Pollelte, of Wlnsconsln. Mr. I,a
Kollette did not seek tho candidacy
of the Progressive League; n fnct,
bo was opposed to being tho cham
pion of tho league and Its support
ers, lie urged and pleaded with
Menator tjutumius, of Iowa, to accept
the candidacy, hut to no nvnll. There
Is lltllo hope Hint the aspirations of
tho La Follotto backers will be real
ised. We do not believe that the
fighting senator himself thinks that
he will be able to capture tho nomi
nation at Chicago.
With the powerful Influence nt
his command, with practically the
entire Itepuhllcun National Commit
too hack of him and wllh tho pres
sure mat can no brought to bear,
Mr. Taft can doubtless ro-nonilnnto
himself, or belter, bo ro-noinlnaled,
In spite of, and In tho faco of, pop
ulnr diss pproval.
This, Mien, prosenls u curious sit
uation. On tho one band Mr. Taft.
who from tho average voter's point
,of vlow, should not bo the parly's
choice to succeed himself, Is at the
present time almost sure of the plum.
On the other hand Senator l.a Kol
lette, who stands out prominently
ns a champion of the people, gaining
llllle favor or preference from those
whom he so vigorously serveH.
Out of this situation grovvH the
lioosevelt sentiment. The ex-presldent
has said that ho Is not a candi
date, lie has not only said It, he i you'
nits piiiinsneo ii no lias even ralrly
shouted It from the houselops. There
Is no doubt that Mr. lioosevelt
would make a powerful candidate
for tho people that Is tho reason
for their Insistence that ho he the
nominee. The Itoosevelt champions
any that lr Mr. Taft Is nonilualed be
will without question go down to
defeat and carry wllh him niaay of
tho state tickets as well; that Mr.
l.a Kollette Is not strong enough In
the West or the Hast and without
these sections be would also be do
fealed should bo bo tho rnndlilale.
Ill this dilemma the party must turn
to lioosevelt, for whom (hero Is n
strong undercurrent of sentiment In
the republican ranks, and tor whom
a fair proportion of doniorrnlle votes
may ho expected to ho polled
