PRESIDENTS FAMINE RELIEF

Washington, March 5.-Reporti
coming from the west are giving
great encouragement to the friends OF
the Taft presidential movement. Keen
interest is being taken here in politi-
cal circles in the polls which are be
ing made Of Republican members Of
western legislatures. Strong senti-
ment for the secretary OF war is open
ing tine eyes of thocs who thought
That the great demand for the nomi-
nation OF Roosevelt in 1908 could not
be diverted to Secretary Taft.
Advicss from South Dakota and
Kansas, regarded as typical of the
feeling IN tie west, indicate that in
the event President Roosevelt cannot
be persuaded tc' accept another nom
inaticn. Secretary Taft will be SECOND
choice and receive the votes which
would be given to President Roose-
welt. In South Dakota the pol. Of the
legislature gave Taft forty-six votes
more than adj the other candidates
combined received and in Kansas
where it IS reported that a Roosevelt
delegation WIZ be sent to the next
convention. it is believed that as soon
as the people become convinced that
the president cannot be induced to
accept another nomination the Roose-
Welt strength win shift to Mr.. Taft
Recent revelations during the in
vestigat.cn5 of the interstate com
merce commission will have far
reaching effect in strengthening the
Roosevelt sentiment in the Republi.
can party. Reports received from all
sections of the country show that the
great masses Of Republicans are un-
willing to take a step backward in
the policies with which the president
has been 30 closely identified, and
that either he or some one like Mr.
Taft, Who represents his ideas. will
be demanded by the next Republican
convention.
