The New Jersey primaries have given Mr. Roosevelt an- other

sweeping victory. He carried all the twenty-eight delegates to the Republican Convention. The New York correspondent of the Times says that Mr. Taft's friends had been hoping that New Jersey, owing to its proximity to New York, would reflect the well-known dislike of the latter State for Mr. Roosevelt. There is now very little chance that Mr. Taft can have a majority of delegates in the Convention. It seems quite probable that no political group will be strong enough to nominate a Republican candidate for the Presidency and that the Convention will have to discuss the whole matter, as it were, afresh and choose its man. In this case we strongly suspect that the choice will turn out to be Mr. Roose- velt himself.
