Hadley Best Dark
Horse, Says Lexvis
By ALFRED HENRY LEWIS.
('ll !< 'AGi>. .lune 21. If you must bet
on ;i dark horse, Hadley. Th
convention has furnished a deal of
pointless innocuous disorder which, be
ginning nowhere over nothing in pai
lii-ular. formed no sei ions tinish. Tit
proceedings has thus far resembled
somewhat a <’og chasing its tail in tiiat
there was much apparent motion with
little real pi ogress.
The big thing is the no d from
Washington that King William's limbs
arc weary ; the great Taft Is growing
politically tired Ever since the Nets
Jersey primaries Taft has had not alone
| enough, but too much. He told Tawney
and McKinley in Washington to find
some name to take the place of ftis own
-Lincoln. Hughes. Eairbanks—the
name of any conservative would do;
but some name they must get.
They explained th. ’litticulty which
would surely attend upon any attempt
to transfer to another the Taft dele
gates. It was ha d as it stood to hold
them sot him. Taft.
Taft Now Urges Hughes.
Wore they to open the cage door to
shift them to Hughes or one of the
others full luo w.htld escape to Roose
velt. The last thing saitl to Taft by
McKinley and Tawney as they left I'm
Chicago was that they must and woult:
use his name as long as it was neces
sary to hold his strength together.
Now that Roof is In the chair ami
the cot tainty of a November Republi
can defeat is more surely outlined than
eve: against the skies of the patty.
Taft lias renewed his declaration that
he itas gone as far as he will.
Taft urges Hughe- as a most Hkely
man Hughes is hanging back. He
doesn't like November's outlook any
better than does Taft.
Haines has been dealing with Hughes
and insisting that be make the race
Batmes very foolishly—bellevt s that
Hugh' S Mould -till, a tile Neo York
patty line What happens to Hughes
ami the party in lit" land at large does
not greatly bother Barnes. His excite
ment based on his valuable boss-ship is
surely confined within the frontiers of
the state
No Desire*to Be Martyr.
With the reluctant Hughes, howeve’.
the vase is different. He is deeplv con
cerned for Hugh's. He has now. in his
supteme judgeship gotten more than
was coming to him, more than even in
fits dieams lie < xpected. He can not
find it in his heart to give -that judge
ship up It is in vain that Baines talk
per wire—of bis (Hughes') patty
duty. Martyrdom in no wise appeals lo
. Hughes. The stake and curling Hames
have for him no attractions. He is sot
clinging closer to that judgeship, which
be has found even as the shadow of a
great rock in the weary kind.
Barnes and the others-among the
latter Iteneen. who is working overtime
to keep tile Roosevelt men on the Illi
nois delegation from assisting/Jolmson.
of California, and Eiinn, of Pennsyl
vania. tn a Roosevelt boll insists that
should worst emm! to worst, . ven with
out that hang-back jurist's consent,
they will send Hughes to the front.
S' teral N'eyv York votes will be c.t.-
for Hughes on the initial ballot byway
of experiment and to feel out tin tem
pi t of the conventlou. Baltics and Ik -
neen believe that by listening intent,y
t" the i-h'/e's if there ale any of tm
delegates they can come by some half
notion of how an announced candidacy
of Hughes would bo received.
ft is curious to rellect that T ift wlm
put Hughes on the supteme bem h to
get him out of his (Taft's) nomina
tional way. is now frantically seeking
I to coax him from the bench to run in
his place. Such is the irony of political
i events in their last unfeldinent.

mention of the name.
LaEollette migh' have stood a
chance. But to It tve such he must
have had the solid Roosevelt backing
Th' <'oii-m vativi s. the Barneses ano
Murray <’ran"S have never had any po
litical u.-e for LaEollette. He was
nothing if not a radical, and- for him to
so much as think of being the conven
tion's nomimo. ineluded the thought ot
a Itoo-evi’li support.
Roosevtlt Anger Increases.
Meanwhile the anger of Rooseve'l
(lames high. He is all for a bolt, all
for nailing his glove to the gates of
the convention and holding here and
now what one of the colored delegates
ivitb a nice taste in nomenclature—
spoke of as a “rumpus convention.”
It is to lie fancied that had Roose- *
veil had his way the walkout would
have occurred on the back of Root's
elevation to the gavel. He had given
notice that he. Roosevelt, would regard
himself as bound by no convention ac
tion not founded on the votes of full
540 delegates whose seats b id not been
contested. Root's claims to the ehait
manship owned no such broad founda
tion. If tlmse contested delegates wen
a .-teal. Root's chairmanship was a
steal. Tite convention was but as so
much stolen goods of politics.
Rsieseve.lt. ti|ion the terms he hud
laid down, could have ordered a bolt
v lten Root first rapped for oder. Johns
son. of t'alifornia. who has lien sot
win. favored that (dan: Elynn. of Penn
sylvania. was as hot of heart as John
son, while such stormy petrels as Hon
ey would heat of nothing else.
Turning the Other Cheek.
But Borah and Hadley were of quiet
er feather; so. too. was Dixon. They
insisted that a bolt to be effective
must hav a moral bm-kijig. It was
worth while to stay in the convention
to the end that as much injustice ajf z
p’stbl' be done them. Haying beer,
slapped upon the- one cheek in the
election of Root, it w:tM good politics
to turn the other cheek and receive ,
a second slap in the conlirmation of
the bogus delegates in their stolen
■ eats.
Thus argued the Hadley and the
Borahs and while Roosevelt hear I
them with impatience, not to say se
cret wrath, he was obliged to heed
them in his housekeeping.
Roosevelt Will Be Candidate.
Roici'lt will go hciore the people
for the presidency . He will go eifllel
a the regitl ir enmlidtilo of the Re
publicans .r as the candidate of t
I boltln eonv.mtion of Republicans, or
as the Moses of a new party which he
will call the National patty. In sober
truth, Roos, velt rather refers the lat
ter idea. He would take a Democrat
on with him for vice president in that
a-' just to show there was no hard
feeling, and throw himself upon the
people.
Hadley they say. Is preening his
leathers for a possible nomination of
the ompi ond.-o vailety. He thinks
according to report that his choif' ,
may • ome when tlm Roosevelts, Taft- j
