CHICAGO, June 6:—Political lead
ers are making earnest efforts to
Juite '.lie apposing factlcns. Roose
velts candidacy is being injured by
the 'ai'ure of his manager to an
nounce the stand of his man. To
date Roosevelt has not declared
himself as having returned to the
republican fold.
Indications point thait) Roosevelt
will 'j-i a controlling factor in the
cjnveii'lion. It is b-lieved amongst
some of the leaders that he has
strength oaiough to name the nom
inee.
It appears that Hughes is against
the field. The platform will un
doubtedly be drawn to please the
progr-ies'vee. The comonit'ee on
credentials have finished the bear
in" c.-ii contested seats. The na
tional suffrage organization has
formed an auxiliary uarty and a
strong appeal is bein? made for the
insertion of a suffrage plank in the
platform.
The progressives will delay their
nomination until after Saturday. It
is rumoied that they m/ay not hold
a convention if the Tepuiblican nom
inee pleases them.
