The strength of the opposition | to the administration’s candidate | cannot be gstimated with any de- gree of .accuracy. Many dele- gates who would have voted for Roosevelt are now convinced that he is determined not to ac« cept the nomination. It is prob- able that Long's lead will cause many wavering delegations to | jump into his bandwagon, and it is reasonably probable that he will be nominated on the first bal- lot, but if there is a sharp or pro- longed contest Dolliver will stand an excellent chance. There are yet many stubborn ones who de- clare that their beloved Rough Rider will be nominated nolens volens by a stampede. 4
