3 THE MORNING OREGON IAN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 1, VOTE IN OKLAHOMA ENCOURAGES TAR Action in Roosevelt "Hotbed" Shows Leaders Which Way Breeze Is Blowing. WAVERING ONES CHECKED Colonel's Friends Sow Sc That Rong-b-Rlder Methods Threaten to Cact Ridicule fpon Serious Movement. OREGON! AX NEWS BUREAU. Wash infrton. Jan. SL Nothing haa happened allies the meeting of the Republican National Committee la December to advance Taft Presidential stock Ilk cne convention recently heM In the Fourth Congressional district of Okla homa. Usually little Importance at taches to the result of a convention . . In so small a territory, but In this In stance politicians seemed to regard the result as of great Importance, for fol lowing the action of that district con rentlon Republican leaders who had been hanging; In the balance, so to speak, came out with strong indorse ments of President Taft. Probably a district convention In al most any other state would have had little National effect, but Oklahoma. which waa supposed to bo a hotbed of noosevejt enthusiasm, by displaying Its loyalty to President Taft. led Na tional leaders to believe the strength nooseveit movement had been mucn overestimated, and they acted accordingly. Seaator Penrose Coavlaeed. Just prior to the Oklahoma conven tion. PAirmBit,.,.Hl irit.i. i who bad been suspected of being dis loyal to the President and favorable to Roosevelt, announced his purpose to support ana work - for the renomlna tlon of President Taft. Then came the Oklahoma, convention, and following that were declarations from Senator enrose. or Pennsylvania; Senator Crane, of Massachusetts, and Senator oraooc. or Ltah, all voicing their con viction that President Taft wonld bs renominated without serious difficulty. The declaration of Senator Smoot occasioned no surprise, for he has never faltered in his belief that President Taft would be renominated. Senator Penrose, on the other hand, had been talking frequently of the likelihood that Taft would be defeated for the nomination, and at times he seemed dis posed to Join the Roosevelt movement. Evidently he haa become convinoed that the Roosevelt movement will com to nothing. Senator Crane has long occupied the same position In the minds of politi cians aa haa the Postmaster-General, lie haa been under suanlclon N-nw however, he Is out with a flat declara-. "" "r lart, and It Is to bs pre sumed he will -atand pat." for Crane 1" not shifty In his politics and he usually does not declAr himi.i -.n he Is satisfied he Is on the winning -side.. Hlteheoek's PmHIom Sljcalflcaat. But important as are the declarations of theso three Senators, the fact that ttis Postmaster-General haa openly and publicly committed him. -if Taft la coming to be regarded as deep ly significant. There Is no doubt la the minds of many men at Washing ton mai jr. micncock was preparing . xiooeeveit rorcea. not so much because of anv animnait. to wards the President but because he Is " o nave held the opinion that the President could not be nominated inn no naa lined up with the Administration forces Is puiniea out as showir.g conclusively that the Postmaster-General haa .... fled himself the Roosevelt movement la OTw, ana accordingly has climbed upon what he believes to vv ui winning band-wagon. Thers Is no hiding the fact that h. promoters of the Roosevelt movement were greaUy disheartened by the re sult of the Fourth Oklahoma District Convention, for they felt confident that ""D"n wouia do overwhelmingly for Roosevelt But the result Is not air that discourages them. The manner of fight put op by the Roosevelt fac tion at that convention has had a tanii. ency to turn the Roosevelt movement iniw a joae, oecause the clrcus-llke per formance of the Colonel's friends hc laid the movement open to this crit icism. The balloon ascension, the rough-rider by-play In the convention, and the bolsterousness generally of the Roosevelt delegatea haa caused them much worrlment. and they fear that If similar tactics are followed at other conventlona the Roosevelt .movement may ultimately be laughed out of court. Tafo Supporters Take Heart. Ot course, publicly those men who era back of the Roosevelt movement contend that no particular Importance attaches to that one little Oklahoma convention, and to offset that result they assert that the St Louis conven tion, which preceded the Oklahoma convention by only a few days, was of the ntmost Importance. That conven tion, according to press reports, atood IS for Roosevelt and 10 for Taft. The assertion is made that that convention waa unanimous for Roosevelt, but that aome of the members who were per sonally friendly to the President de Tided to register their votes In his fa vor, and were permitted to do ao, so long aa the Roosevelt strength-waa al lowed to appear much greater than that of Taft rrom now on there will be little) straws In various parts of the country showing how the political wind S blowing, but It Is certainly true that the Taft supporters are going about today with a much more apparent air of confidence than they wore during the weeks Immediately preceding the I oaianoma convention, xney have taken much heart from that little assem blage, and the change of prominent Republicans to Taft after that meet lag. Is regarded aa a good sign. ven the statement tsaued by Senator Kenyon. of Iowa, when ha declared h! purpose to support Senator Cum mins, brought comfort to the Taft ramp, for that statement showed clear ly that not only Kenyon. but other Iowa Insurgents, are for Taft aa seo ond choice, and as no one seriously believes Cummins will be nominated, Iowa la regarded aa pa good as In the Taft eolumn already. Prior to the an nouncement of the Cummins candi dacy It waa conceded that Taft would carry Iowa aa against either Roosevelt or La FoUette. Now It Is conceded Taft will get the Iowa delegation. If he needs it after the honorary vote haa been given to Cummins. And this, also, la listed as one of the significant political straws. PRELATE, WHOM NEW ENGLAND WELCOMED YE STEED AY.
