tnat, v if Governor Charles 1 E, Hughes
of New Tork wanted the New York na.
tiohat Republican delegationlhe could
have Itrrthat. it: would be Impossible
for the machine there to take the dele
gation away , from him.
Since the governor has ' openly de
clared that he is a candidate, it is con
ceded here by all, or practically all, that
the question was settled by his an
nouncement, and that it Is safe to count
on New Tork as In the Hughes column
in ivus.
Hughes' declaration has entirely a!
tered the situation and done more to
worry the Taft people than anything of
recent occurrence, senator Bourne was
almost mad with glee, saying:
Bourne Delighted.
It means that New York will be for
Hughes; that that will defeat' Taft, and
that that will nominate Roosevelt."
However tnat may be. it Is certain
that Hughes will have the Gotham dele
gates, and that tney win put up a light

apparently mighty healthy a fortnight
ago, is now not so stvong.
The Question of the federal patronage
being used for Taft Is not to be laughed
out of court as a small Issue. It really
is a major element In the situation, and
there are hosts of good Roosevelt men
who admit that they do not like the
thing at all. Historical precedents are
being dug up to prove , that only dis-
asetr has come to the party the leader
of which has attempted to utilize the
club of federal patronage to force on
the country f. successor the selection of
the Incumbent.
Ifhe Taft people realise that their
candidate Is being weakened every day
