However, as bad as the trusts are, a flood of light is being thrown on not only their operations, but on the manner of and the Influences that inspired their formation by in- that are being carried on by this government that many politicians are asserting is tent to the efficient discharge of its function.

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- The New York Herald now credits him with four hundred and fifty-two delegates and Mr. Tart with four hundred and eighty-eight. The Sun gives Roosevelt four hundred and fifty- eight and Taft five hundred and The Tribune accords four hundred and Arty-eight and a half and Taft four hundred and eighty- nine and a half. None of these news- papers are supporters of the Colonel; two of them are openly hostile to him. 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 for Mr. Taft as effectually at Chicago as it was at Columbus, Roosevelt's chances will be pulverized. But can it be Will the president's most par- supporters dare to employ Inevitably prejudiced, it not lose. s case before the rank and file of s party.
