He is in a class by himself in the sense, that he is very much in the lead, and that he is the only one who is running or in whose behalf there Is organized activity in states additional to his own.

All the others mentioned are, so far, candidates in their own states 'only. In behalf of none of the others is there any general effort by Mends and supporters in a national way. Roosevelt, in short, is the only one whose candidacy Ls on a nation-wide basis. If this condition goes on to the end there can be only one outcome to it. The axiom that "You can't beat somebody with nobody" in-includes, among its meanings, the fact that one string candidate running in practically every state cannot be beaten by a field of candidates each of whom confines his efforts, or whose friends confine their efforts, to the candidate's own state.
