political device
a. was never
perhaps used so lustily and with such
remarkable results as yesterday in the
Republican State Convention of Ohio.
Time and again the steam-roller has
overcome obstreperous minorities, but
in this instance, apparently, it went
even further and bore down the ma-
itself.
In the preferential primary. Ohio
went for Roosevelt by a majority of
some thirty thousand votes; yet, in
the convention the state's six delegates
-at-large were awarded to President
Taft. By Just what manipulations
was accomplished, the reports fall to
make clear. It Is evident, however,
that the one of the
puffing type, but a particularly
deadly and well-oiled
employed. Not only were the six
gates-at-large delivered to Mr. Taft,
but there was also pressed through a
resolution commending his ad-
ministration. In short, the convention,
though by a slim majority, did
the reverse of what the people
at the polls had done.
It is to such methods that
dent Taft's hopes of renomination
must be entrusted, his cause is indeed,
a desperate one. The most that such
means can be expected to accomplish
the defeat of Roosevelt. The Taft
forces may succeed at Chicago in
the nomination of the
but in so doing they will render
virtually Impossible the nomination of
their own choice.
Weeks ago it became apparent that
Roosevelt would enter the national
convention with a formidable follow-

though all of them are doubtless try-
to give as accurate figures at they
can.
With only twenty-two delegates yet
to be chosen, it is evident that the
contest between the present and the
former president for leadership in
is exceedingly close; it is close, that is
to say, if all the delegates stand where
they have been placed. It is just there
however, that the rub will come. For,
one hundred and twenty-dye delegates
places are to be contested by
and thirty-three by Taft. If we
eliminate all possible contests, the
record stands for Taft,
hundred and twenty-one, for Roosevelt
four hundred and twenty-nine. Five
hundred and forty votes are required
to nominate.
Clearly, therefore, the control of the
convention machinery will prove a
vital If not a decisive factor. If the
prejudiced steam roller Is plied

as it was at Columbus, Roosevelt's
chances will be pulverized. But can
