Article debating who will be selected by the Republican and Democratic Parties to run for president in the 1912 presidential election. The author believes that Robert M. La Follette is no longer a potential candidate and Theodore Roosevelt is an obvious threat to President William H. Taft, but will “play the game like a gentleman”. The author believes Governor Woodrow Wilson is a potential Democratic Party candidate and sees no other Democratic possibilities at this time.
