Foraker Will Step Aside in
Favor of Taft
lSAYS WASHINGTON STORY
Senator culberson's Incipient Boom for
President Is one of the Other Sur
prises-Bryan Is Still the Lead
ing Democrat.

Washington, Feb 2o.--Two things Of
some moment III The manoeuvres for
nominating the next President have
come to the surface here recently.
One il a prospect, foreeasted by
good authority, that Senator Foraker
will eventually eliminate himself as 4
presidentian possibility and strike
hands with Secretary Taft.
The other is an incipient boom for
Senator culberson Of Texas. 1t Is be-
ing brought to the front BY Democrats
Of northern cities, some Of whom are
southern born.
Senator Foraker has never declared
himself in the running and has been
more or less passive under the discussion
Of his availability. He undoubtedly
holds the Ohio situation firmly, and to
all appearances could have the delegates
from that state to the next national
convention should be want them.
But it il claimed taat Senator For
alSer is most concerned that President
Roosevelt shall not be renominateds and
that as soon as he is assured beyond all
doubt will quietly step aside and permit
Secretary Taft To get the Ohio delega-
tion If be can,
There has been a lot Of political BIT
tcrness between the President and Sem
ator Foraker, and the latter prefers to
have some one in the White House with
whom he can maintain more amieable
personal relations.
Secretary Taft remains as Indifferent
as ever to all plans 10 nominate him as
fsoosevelt's successor, but there are men
working actively for him in spite of
this. The semblance OF an organization
ia his interest has already been started,
and this organization j. TO be rapidly
enlarged in scope and efficiency.
