Roosevelt May Name Candidate But No Nomination For Himself
Chicago June 5 Col Theodore Roosevelt could back a straight Republican favorite son or dark horse to name the party nominee but cannot pursue the nomination himself. The Old Guard resists, Hughes faction solidifies around Justice Hughes with an alleged 293 first ballot votes, while progressives fear a Roosevelt stampede. Hughes refuses to declare stance before the Progressive convention adjourns, preserving strategic edge as Roosevelt supporters lament his absence.
