porary chairman of the conveutiou
against Vlce President Sherman havo
little reallzation ot the rislug tlde ot
ponular disapproval whlch Mr. Roos--
evelt's speeches ln the West have
caused. Hls assumptlon of power is
looked upn wlth wonuerment. Hla
ablllty to arouse tho passlons ot tho

the Stato and every day the menaco
of hla polltlcal ascendency to busl-
ne3s and to labor ls moro thoroughly
appreclated.
"I do not bellove that hls name will
ever be presented to tho conventlon
against the recommendatiou ot the
State comnilttee, for Mr. Sherman. It
It la, It will as certalnly ho voted
down In the cause ot truo Ropubll

State nro aroused to tho regretablo
fact that Mr. Roosevelt la today tho
most dangorous foo to tho world
of bualneas and labor In tho Unlted
Statos. They hopo wlth earnest soll
cltude that the Rppubllcan party ln
