I Barring the defection of the two ccJo-
""' nela It begins to dawn upon the republican
' manipulators that the Wilson administra-
; tion has handled the preparedness issue
- at least in so masterful a manner as to
e not only prevent a party split but to add
materially to President WUson'a popu-
; larity and strength among the independ-
; ent element. ...
t - This decidedly artistic and crafty bit
of pre-conventlon political play which has
". been put over by the democratic majority
in the present congress is but another
reason for making stronger than ever the
. prediction that Roosevelt will not be the
Chicago nominee next month. He staked
everything on his battle cry and hia Uilrst
r for a war with Germany and Mexico. As
a slogan it faded before the country's
' praise of Wilson "He has kept us out of
trouble." Colonel Roosevelt's trip to De-
trolt last week was his last big card in
th. race he is making for the 1918 nomi-
nation but according to reports from re-
publican circles it availed him nothing.

when the Braxoa river overflows this
showing being made more realistic by the
fact that the river ia -now at a high water

thence to Booth and Thompson. Every-

tlon and the visiting congressmen de-
clared that they were the best they had
found on their trio.
Expressions from tne visitors were to
the effect that some action should be
taken at once to protect the citiiena of
