BY GILSON GARDNER WASHINGTON, March 23.—Taft’s reelection has been made im possibie. That is the one big result already accomplished by Roosevelt's entry into the presidential race.

On paper it is possible to show how Taft's renomination cas be forced. To begin with, there are the office-purchased delegates from the Solld South. This js the corner-stone of Taft's strength. These dele- gates comprise nearly a third of the republican convention. Add to them a few machine-made delegates, delivered by such as Penrose of Peny- sylvania and Barnes of New York, and that settles it. It makes no dif- ference what the rest of the country thinks. All the states from Cali- fornia to the Mississippi river, and from the Mississippi river to the Alle- gheolen, can hold their preferential primaries and vote the sentiment of the voter, and that ix all the good it will do them. But, of course, these states would all vote against Taft in November; * ‘ye professional politician asks: Will it be worth while? ‘ublic opinion is a tremendous force.
