Roosevelt’s Bolt in 1912 BY GILSON GARDNER ! ‘The Chicago convention of 1912 Is the one convention in history most likely to serve as an example of what may happen at Chicago, be. tween June 8 and June 13, 1920. ‘ | This was the convention which staged the spectacular struggle be tween ex-President Roosevelt and President Taft, the former seekin the republican nomination, the seeking to be renominated for a sec- ond term. It waa the convention which nominated Taft and “steam rollered” Roosevelt, resulting in the latter’s bolt and the formation of the Progressive party, which, in the fol Bowing election, polled 4,119,507 votes for Roosevelt, as against 3,494,956 for Taft and 6,292,019 for Wilson, | ENTIRE “OLD GUARD” WAS FOR TAFT The convention of 1912 was fixed for Taft. The republican, national committee and the little group in control of the party machinery were for Taft. They were known as the “old guard.” The delegates chosen by presidential primaries, which were tried out for the first time in this contest, were for Roosevelt, Actording to a poll made by the New York Tribune, a Taft organ Roosevelt had, when the convention met (instruc and pledged) 469% votes, Taft had similarly committed 454% votes. The delegates was 1,078 choice, 549. Roosevelt had about 20 votes to wpare, But the national committee, acting | thru Boles Penrose, W.

But it was an unnatural conditien and as such cannot last. You have, no doubt, read the statement made by the Federal Reserve Board. In our buying for next autumn we have been asked even higher prices than for the present season—because all of us must be clothed, the increase has to be met. . The clothing industry is suffering from under- production. There can be no permanent downward ° trend in prices until production increases—that is an immutable law of economics. Therefore, it is up to all men and young men who de- sire to dress economically to take advantage of present reductions in our big stock of exceptionally fine quality and up-to-the-minute clothes. -Sale Lasts Only a Few More Days!
