P. I. EDITOR SUMMARIZES
REPUBLICAN ATTITUDE
A. I*. A. Service.
CHICAGO, June 12.—In a dispatch to
the Seattle Post-Intelligencer Scott C.
Both-, editor of that publication, sum
marizes the political situation as relating
to the ait it tide of the progressives and
republicans toward the convention nom
inations as-follows:
“At the present time there is an in
tense bitterness against both Roosevelt
and the republicans In radical Bull Moose
circles. outers expect that Roosevelt, In
duo season, both bv personal appeal
and through his busy pen. will support
Hughes strongly and do his best to rally
the progressive's to the support of the
best interests of the country.
The leading political forecasters declare
I that is is exactly what will happen.
*i is generally believed that knowledge of
the facts has removed the apathy inci
dent to the nomination of Hughes and
will ultimately inspire both party men
and all citizens of republicans leanings
with faith and conildence in the wis
dom of the selection made by the con
vention.'’
Concerning the lack of enthusiasm dis
; played at the convention the dispatch
continues: “There were but two out
| bursts of genuine enthusiasm, one on the
| part of tin* spectators when the name
| of Hooseveit was mentioned, another on
i the part of the delegates at the name
of Taft. All other demonstrations were
artllicially stimulated and staged.
I There was absolutely no warmth save
In the Vermont and Oregon delegations
in the cheering which followed the le
cislve third ballot. The deleg-tes from
these two states were the onlj ones,
however, who seemed to be genuinely
enthusiastic over the nomination. Hughes
was accepted simply as the best possible
Solution of the situation but to the
delegates as a body as wen as the gal
lery It was nothing more than an un
inspiring compromise with facts The
easy winner of the contest was an enign.u
and inspired no enthusiasm. They did
not know him then hut today they know
him and approve him cordially.
