In a recently published interview
Senator Morgan of Alabama is quoted
as saying that when Mr. Roosevelt
sees his own nomination is impossible
he will throw his strength to Senator
Foraker of Ohio, who will be nomi
nated.
Perhaps Senator Morgan Is
the only man of prominence In the po
litical world who entertains the beliet
that Mr. Roosevelt will not be the
nominee o f his party for the Presi
dency. Y et it cannot he denied that
Mr. Roosevelt’s nomination is not as
freely accepted as the inevitable as it
was three months ago. The persis
tent bitter attacks of the New York
Sun are beginning to be felt by the
Republican leaders, however baseless
and unfounded those attacks may be.
No other reason can be assigned for
the attitude of the Sun towards Con
gressman Littauer than is found in
the fact that Littauer is a close per
sonal friend of the President.
As a glove manufacturer the Con
gressman sold the product o f his fac
tory to a contractor who in turn fur
nished the gloves to the army on a
contract entered into between the con
tractor and a board o f army officers
appointed for the purpose. That the

by the Sun’s editorials.

text for an effort to bring to bear
