Weakness of Third Term Candidate
Has Been Emphasized by His Tour,
While Favorable Feeling Toward
Taft Manifested Everywhere.
Oswald F. Schuette, Staff correspond-
ent of the Chicago Inter Ocean, has
Just completed a two weeks' tour of
tho Pacific coast and western states
with J Adam Bede, former congress-
man from Minnesota, and John M.
Harlan of Chicago. These speakers
were sent out by the national Repub-
lican committee to trail Colonel Roose-
velt In his tour of the west. The Taft
meetings were held on the nights fol-
lowing the Bull Moose rallies. Mr.
Schuette was commissioned to make a
critical study of political conditions
and report the facts as he found them.
By OSWALD F. SCHUETTE.
The Roosevelt sentiment in the
states west of the Mississippi river is
waning fast. The Taft strength is
growing, although weakness In the or-
ganization in many states has pre-
vented tho Republicans from taking
full advantage of the situation. Tho
Wilson forces are still confident of
victory, but the fuding of the Roose-
velt strength has turned the brunt of
the fight against the Democrats, and
fear of free trade and Democratic
hard times Is turning the tide to Presi-
dent Taft.
This is the present situation, as
viewed from a careful personal inves-
tigation of the political conditions that
prevail In the wake of Theodore Roose-
velt's tour of the west. It can be sum-
med up also In another sentence.
Roosevelt has scarcely won a vote at
any point on his trip. He has had
large audiences, but none of them has
been as large as he had on either
of Ills last two trips through these
states. Compared to last spring's pri-
mary campaign, or his tours of other
years, the meetings have been dis-
j heartening In their coldness. This ac-
counts for tho reports of angry inter-
ludes thut have been frequent accom-
paniments of his speeches. Tills rep-
resents a great change In the sit-
uation since tho middle of August.
Gained No Converts.
What cheering and applause has
greeted the colonel on his present
tour has come from men already com-
mitted to his cause. In no city visit-
ed on his course has there been are-
port of new converts gained. In al-
most every Instance thp reports were
unanimous that he had hurt himself
and his causo either by his dictatorial
manner toward his nudlences, his
angry treatment of the men around
'him and the hosts who tried to show
him hospitality, hts theatrical stago
tricks, or his kaleidoscopic changes of
opinion concerning the Issues.
Weakness of Roosevelt Emphasized.
The weakness of the Roosevelt
cause was emphasized by the meet-
ings which greeted John Maynard Har-
lan and J. Adam Rede, who are still
on tho colonel's trail. At each stop
they made they were told by Repub-
licans, Democrats and Rooseveltera
alike that the Roosevelt meetings had
boon anything but the rousing suc-
cesses they had been expected, and
the colonel's visit had not won him
a vote.
It was tho same story throughout tho
trip—In Idaho, Oregon, Utah. Nevada,
California Arizona. New Mexico, Colo-
rado and Nebraska. Everywhere the
Roosevelt loaders appeared disgrunt-
led. the Taft leaders were jubilant and
the Wilson forces fearful of the fact
that the campaign was turning against
their own candidate
Reports From All Sections Are to the
Effect That Republicans Have
Determined to Remain Loyal to
Party.
1904
(912
Chicago, Sept. 27.—Polls which are
being received at the headquarters of
the Republican national committee In-
dicate that the third term candidate
will not reoeive on election day any-
thing like the support given him In
the primaries, when he was a Repub-
lican seeking the nomination of hts
party for the office of president
These figures are confirmed by state-
ments published In newspapers in va-
rious parts of the state, by letters re,
celved at the hendquarters and by Illi-
nois people who visit Chicago and
express their opinions on the political
situation.
Rev. Clark S. Thomas of Elgin, who
has traveled through the state from
East 9t. Louis to Vincennes and from
Springfield to Oentralla, was emphatic
In his assertion that the Roosevelt
sentiment In Illinois Is disappearing.
When former Senator William E,
Mason, nominated at the primaries for
the position of Congressman-at-large
from Illinois, recently returned from
a speech-making tour he reported that
the Roosevelt sentiment was waning
In the localities which he had visited
Roosevelt Losing Supporters.
“I have been all over the state of
Illinois, addressing Chautauquas,
home-coming rallies and farmers' pic-
nics. and everywhere I went I met the
admission that Mr. Roosevelt Is los-
ing supporters," said Mr. A C. Ran-
kin of Chicago. "Large numbers of
people believe he is organizing hlB
movement merely as an aid to elect
Wilson and defeat Taft, and they re-
fuse to be a party to his treachery."
"I have Just returned from a tour
through some of the counties of Illi-
nois," writes Henry J. Nowlan, a
prominent attorney of Peoria, 111., to
the Taft headquarters In this city,
"and I find that the third term senti-
ment 1b on the wane."
Change Among Farmers.
"Republican conditions have Im-
proved In my section of Illinois more
than 25 per cent, since 1 was here
two weekB ago," says Mr W. W.
Clark of Aurora, 111., formerly labor
editor of the Chicago Inter Ocean and
now editor of the Aurora Sentinel.
"The change Is principally observed
among the farmers. They appreciate
the prosperity which they ha'' been
enjoying under Republican adminis-
tration and they are beglnnti t to real-
ise that a change to Democracy tm r. is
an end to their good times The trend
toward President Taft is plainly ap-
parent.”
Pledged to Republican Ticket.
"I cannot speak for other parts of the
state." said Mr. W. B. Wire of Hebron,
III., while in Chicago recent.> nut 1
know that In my precinct. Roosevelt
will not poll one per cent, of the vote
which he received In the primaries
last spring.”
Mr. Wire wbb formerly chairman of
the county committee of McHenry
county, and Is now a member of the
county committee.
While there are some sections In
the state where the Roosevelt senti-
ment continues to manifest Itself, the
fact that It is generally disappearing
Is proven beyond a doubt.
Ad thp time for tjie fall canir
paigp lias arrived L take this
method of expressing to the
voters of the County my sin.-
eerji appreciation for the sup-
port feivpn me in the primary,
and fiolicitiiijf your further sup
port ip the November election-
I take the vote I received in
the primary as au esipVPMSion
of trust and confidence in me
and it shall be my earnest en-
deavor to ever prove myself
worthy of this confidence and
trust.
If successfully elected to the
office of County Treasurer, I
pledge myself to the strictest
economy in the affairs of the
office, using no more deputies
than are absolutely nessary to
keep up the work of the office
and wait on the people as they
should be.
1 am not making any grand-
stand plays to secure the votes
of the people, neither do I pro-
mise pou any tiling before the
election that can not be carried
out after the election. I prefer
to be short on promises and
long on service, rather than
long on promises before elec-
lion and short on service after
the election.
I am riming for the office
for the salary I expect to get
out of it and believe I can give
the people good service.
Earnestly soliciting the sup-
port of the good people, regard
less of party affiliation, on the
5th, day of November, l am,
Very respectfully,

Roosevelt Weak In Utah.
A prominent newspaper editor In
Ogdon. Utah, writes to tho Republican
national committer as follows:
"There Is no doubt that Mr. Taft
will carry Utah b.v almost the same
majority he did four years ago. The
movement for Roosevelt Is very
weak."
Dwindling In Missouri.
Fred A Williams, secretary of the
Republican central committee of Ual-
luway county, Missouri, makes the fol-
lowing report:
"What little Moose sentiment we
have here 1b dwindling and everything
Is shaping up well for Mr. Taft In No-
vember.”
THE TIDE HAS TURNED.
From the Paterson, N. J., Press.
It is apparent that the turn of the
tide which has been generally expect-
ed, in favor of the re-election of Pres
ldent Taft, has set In all over the
country. The Third Term movement
Is rapidly waning, and the testing pro-
cess of Governor Wilson in the cruci-
ble of public opinion is proving a dis-
tinct dtsappolntmeut to the Democratic
party.
No Impartial observer of the pollti
cal situation now believes that Roose-
veil has any chanoe of winning, and
It Is apparent that the Democratic
standard bearer lias made a groat mis-
take In adopting the cry of death to
the protective tariff ns his slogan
So manifest Is the turn of the tide
toward Taft that the Democratic lead-
ers have ceased to regard victory for
their party as a sure thing.
