In the second place Roosevelt marked himself as far more progressive than Taft and less progressive than LaFollette. Roosevelt declares himself for the initiative, the referen- dum and the recall and so his candidacy will advance rather than impede local struggles for self government. Undoubtedly the republican presidential nomination today lies between Taft and Roosevelt, We are frank to say that we are But the physical collapse of Senator La Follette, v alyzed the fast growing movement for his nomination, those unfortunate facts which must be faced. It would be worse than idle to deny that among the great majority of the rank and file as well as the leaders of the re- ican progressives throughout the nation, Roosevelt is now ed upon as the one man who has the slightest chance to Wefeat the reactionaries in their attempt to renominate Taft. Since the collapse of Senator La Follette, Roosevelt has received public pledges of support from such sincere and un- eelfish progressives as Governor Johnson of California, Sena- tor Clapp of Minnesota, Congressman Len Root of Wisconsin, Gifford Pinchot and scores of others. : The Columbus speech was written, to a certain extent, ia collaboration with these men, and while in many respects it falls short of as extreme radicalism as could have been wished, the fact is that it could by no possible stretch of ination be called a reactionary pronouncement. $ ‘o be sure, it adds nothing new to progressive doctrine, but in it Roosevelt recognizes and denounces the evils which aft refuses to admit exist, although in proposing remedies he falls far short of the La Follette standard. Should Roosevelt be a bey seems to be un- likely in spite of the ular demand for his nomination among the Pia a file of tg party; there are undoubtedly hundreds of thousanMs of ultra progressive republicans who would wel- come the chance to vote for Woodrow Wilson if the demo- crats have enough patriotism and good sense to nominate him. ~ By the same token, should Taft and Wilson be the nom- imees, there is little doubt that the great mass of republicans of every shade of progressivism would be impelled by con- wcience to leave their party and vote for Wilson. The Jobee Fits the Job The U. S. senate made no kick on confirmation of Myron f. Herrick of Ohio as ambassador to France, and couldn't be expected to do so, as the selection is a particularly appropriate one. > Mr. Herrick is a “lame duck,” the people of Ohio having turned their state t’other side up, politically, in order to shelve after one experiment with him as governor, And Taft the fellow who looks after “lame ducks.” ames to France Poets algae ne of ho, to pose and considerable know! ress and social ‘Woaventions. And Herrick has ‘em. ‘ Herrick required a job that was full of eclat and empty of necessity to labor. And that's the sort of job it is. It was simply puting a lovely sunflower in the empty {vase on the diplomatic mantelpiece.
