These men are making the flnmc kind of. fight for the control of the convention nnd for mastery of the party that Roosevelt made In 1012. General Makes Enemies The light does not merely threaten n split such as that fight resulted in, but It will leave ugly ecars. When it is over General Wood will not have a friend outside of tho delegates pledged to him. The supporters of Johnson. Louden or Harding will not swing to him in any event. And tho unlnstructcd delegates controlled by Old Guard will go to any one sooner than to the candidate of the Roosevelt lead ers. , At that General Wood is playing good politics. He has to break the power of the machine in order to bo nominated. Tho plnco to break the power of the ma chine is in tho big middle western states where Roosevelt was strong and where if Wood has real popular strength he may brush nsldo the toll tlclans' candidates.
