Show TAFT CANNOT WIN The International News Service is supporting Woodrow Wilson Wil-son for president. On Wednesday that service gave out the following: fol-lowing: "It is learned that the Wilson managers intend first to take care of Colonel Roosevelt because they regard him as their most dangerous adversary. ".William J. Bryan is to be used to offset Mr, Roosevelt. The plan is to have jlr. Bryan follow Roosevelt as closely as possible pos-sible through the qountry and to meet his arguments. It is intended that Bryan shall keep as close to Roosevelt as possible, following him day after da' into every city he visits and talking wherever possible to practically the same audiences.. - , "Word has been received from Senator La Polletlc, through National Committeeman Joseph E. Davies of Wisconsin, that the senator will undertake to meet Roosevelt arguments wherever possible. pos-sible. Davies says that La Follette has no intention of leaving the Republican party to fight for Wilson, but that he will match his wits with those of the colonel, whatever effect that may have. "With Biyan and La Follette thus actively on the job it is hoped to nullify the effect of Roosevelt's attacks on Wilson, for no one here believes that Roosevelt intends to confine himself to a fight on Taft. The expectation is that as Wilson's chances improve Roosevelt Roose-velt will forget Taft and direct his fire against the Democratic nominee." There is only one interpretation to the foregoing a'nd that is, the Democrats recognize Roosevelt as their most dangerous opponent and place Taft out of the running. With Taft eliminated, Roosevelt can defeat Wilson, because, while Wilson may be sincerely committed to reform, the people know it is impossible for him to win any signal victories for good government govern-ment with the bosses of his party as completely in league with the interests as are the bosses of the Republican party, and they will vote against the system which has made possible this government by bosses and in so doing elect the third party candidate. |
