Several times this week the hourly developments have promised the fulfillment of my prediction that actual reunion of the Republican factions in the National arena would he accom plished here under the inspiration of Colonel Roosevelt. Radicals in both camps have endeavored to discourage peace negotiations and all manner of resistance to these overtures has developed. Meanwhile the conservatives on all sirles have steadily pressed forward toward the main objective which is so absolutely necessary to Republican success this year. Without substantial union of the two wings of the party it is admitted that the campaign is scarcely worth the waging. Twice this week when peace upon the surface seemed remote wc have ventured the prophecy that the convention would end in harmony and with the Colonel leading the "reunited host. It doesn't follow that he will be the chosen stand bearer, but the fact remains that the Progressives will not return to the fold without his guidance. With the appointment of con ference committees late yesterday afternoon the first concrete ac tion in the "get together" move ment was taken. Of course the Progressive con ferees will do their utmost to have the Republican section of the commtitee accept Roosevelt as the most available and popular choice. Should they fail in this it will then be the big undertaking of the Republican conferees to persuade their Progressive asso ciates to recede from this posi tion and agree to accept Hughes or another candidate.
