"If this overwhelming preponderance' of the real feeling of the Republican voters is given expression In the election of delegates to the national convention, Theodore Roosevelt certainly will bo the nomine of that convention.

"The only hope of those Republicans who are against the nomination of Colonel Roosevelt Is to secure, by the use of federal patronage in the South, the control of delegates from skeleton political organisations in those states and the suffocation of the real sentiment cf the Republican voters In cer-tain Northern- states, in the matter of the election of delegates.
