Heney 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.

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 I -a Eollet ti s. ('ttmminses.
