If Latter Is Pennsylvania Primaries Leave Nomination of Dal sell In Doubt BY GATES WASHINGTON April The resulr of the presidential primary in Pennsylvania yesterday aside from its disturbing significance with respect to Mr Taft's candidacy for the Republican nomination has given a positive color to a heretofore colorless situation as regards the Democratic party Ten out of twelve Democratic members of the luuse with whom I talked today expressed the opinion that the nomination of Gol Roosevelt by the Republic-ills would alter the situation in the Peino- cratic party to the extent of creating a need for the nomine tion of a candidate who could rapture the protesting and disgruntled Taft followers In other words with- Gol Roosevelt as the Republican candidate for president the wisest course for the Democrats would be to opjaise him with a man who by comparison might appeal to the electorate us a conservative If the ten Democratic members of the house who thus expressed themselves today are politically wise tne Baltimore convention niuy be expected In the event of Gol Roosevelt's nomination to oppose him with Gov Harmon or Democratic House Leader Underwood or some nan of their type It is argued that a Democrat opposed to the radicalism and experimental departures from constitutional for which Co! Roost volt -is l-clievud to stand could sweep York and the New Kngland state Tiie Southern states of course- are expected to line up solidly behind -the nominee whether lie le radical or conservative Wilson People The Clark boosters oil the other hand are contending that should Gol Roosevelt defeat Mr Toft for tiie nomination the obviously sane thing for the Democratic party to in would be to put up the gentleman from Missouri who unquestionably has the call at this time Thej also con lend that with Gol ltonse-velt as the candidate of the Republican party on a radical platform It would' be political suicide for the Democrats to 'go before the country with a so-called reactionary on a conservative platform Because Champ-Clark appeal to llu papular as Uol Roosevelt undeniably the champions of the former predict Ids nomination and election The had is still significantly reassuring regardless of the triumph Guv Wilson in IVnnsylvania yesterday The Wilson boomers however profess not to feel the least discomfiture at the steadily brightening prospeetz of the Clark cimdidacy The Wilson campaign advBers according to a highly Interesting report today sre on the verge of a reorganization of the governor' working force which step would not be devoid of significance This report is to the effect that on tomorrow or next' day Senator Gore of Oklahoma will succeed Mr McCoomb of New York as directing bead of the WHton field force Senator Gore recently canvassed Wisconsin as well as his own state for Governor Wilson end the fact that he Is the renator" lends a helping picturequeness to Ills campaign labors Wonlil Alter Situation It Is also reported that the contemplated reorganization of the Wilson campaign bureau in the East Includes the active service of Mr Lynch of Minnesota who distinguished himself four years ago as the pilot of the preeldentktl aspirations of the late Governor Johnson of that s'ate With Senator Gore and Mr Lynch working In double harness the Wilson band wagon is expected' to cover distances at a much greater rate of speed than it has been able to make up to thto time There is no doubt that most of the Democrats in congress feel that the nomination of Col Roosevelt by the Republicans would complicate the presidential contest for the Democratic party They greatly prefer Mr Taft as the op- ponent of their nominee because he would be much easier to defeat Democratic apprehension concerning Col Roosevelt's nomination does not relate so directly to his formldabllity art a contestant for the presidency as it does to the danger of hto candidacy to the Democratic majority in the house of representatives It to generally conceded that Col Roosevelt' nomination would materially reduce the Democratic majorities lit the congressional districts of states In the Middle West and West The Democratic majority In the house now Is sixty-eight Taft Will Re Nominated Tt was estimated today that the nomination of Col Roosevelt for the presidency would reduce that majority to twenty-five or thirty This might be accomplished without the loss of the presidency to the Democratic party for while the Democrats would undoubtedly sue to in congressional losses in the section indicated they would not suffer defeat in those district in the Eastern states which they have captured In the last two year Despite the late victories of Co! Roosevelt In Pennsylvania and Illinois the preponderant opinion in political circles here is that Mr Taft will be the choice of the Chicago convention for the nomination His lead now is nearly two to one not to mention the contested delegate the convention organization will give him But there to hardly a dissent ta the opinion that Col Roosevelt- increasing strength Is indisputable evidence of a condition in th Republican party which makes Mr Taft's election if nominated absolutely impossible COLONEL INCREASES LEAD Theodore Roosevelt's sweeping victory In Pennsylvania at Saturday's primary
