...Governor Roosevelt stands a better chance in more States than any other of the names brought forward. ... I now predict that when nominated he will have no less than 345 votes [an elective majority: 266] when the electoral college assembles.

One can not predict what good luck will effect or political connivance secure but the availability of the CRIMSON's dark horses can be examined.
