RidicuIes Taft Claims.

He ridicules the claims of the Taft
people that the State is unanimous, or
even nearly so, and says they will soon
find it out if they are not aware of it
already. In personal conversation
yesterday afternoon he showed that he
was full of fight as ever, and would
control the Taft forces wherever he had
a following. Moreover, if absolute
peace and harmony should be restored,
the overtures must come from the other
side, his friends declare.
The summer months will be devoted
by the Taft forces to perfecting organi-
cations in the various States, and the
real active hustling will be begun in
the early autumn. No part of the
country will be overlooked. In States
that have tavorite sons fight Will be
made to secure second-choice delegates.
A delegation from one of the Southern
States called at the White House
recently and informed the President
that it's State would send a delegation
to the next national convention whose

Interest in Second Choic g.

but am more interested in know
ing who will be their second choice"
promptly responded the President In
this way he reiterated his refusal to be
a candidate for another term and at the
same time emphasized upon his callers
the Importance of looking after the
second choice delegates.
To care for the second-cholce dele
gates is to be distinct feature of the
boomers policy.
1t is not likely that any steps will be
taken by the President or his friends OF
prevent the selection and instruction to
Roosevelt delegates to the national
convention of 1908. Those States
which show disposition to selec t
Roosevelt delegates in disregard of tn e
Presidents election night announce
ment will not be hampered in doing so,
but each delegate, according to the
understanding of the Administrations
wishes, will be examined carefully and
will be given a second choice treat
ment to prevent wrong delivery.
The Administration forces are giving
careful attention to the makeup of the
national committee. That body will
determine the place of holding the
next convention, an important factor
that is not being overlooked, AID it will
likewise have to do with arranging the
list of delegates and providing for the
temporary organization of the con-
vention.

Presidents Attituds Known.

Although the President has made no
formal declaration in favor of Mr. Taft,
there is no doubt that Mr.. Worry, will
teel justified, while negotiating with
Republicans outside of Ohio, in assur-
ing them that Mr.. Roosevelt is person
ally concerned in having Secretary
Taft nominated next year.
While the Taft managers insist that
the situation in Ohio is satisfactory and
that no compromise or protocol need be
signed up with Senator Foraker in or
der to enable the Secretary to secure
a solid delegation to the national con-
vention, Mr.. Foraker is not inactive.
On the contrary, his friends say, he is
as busy as ever, looking after his own
interests, and has expressed satisfac-
ton with the reports he is receiving.

Presidency, has had long talk with
the President. 1t evidently was of a
satisfactory character, for when Mr..

While Nr. Vorys had no statement to
make, it is to be presumed that there
was frank discussion of situation in
Ohio and of the plans devised at Secre-
tary Taft's home Saturday to carry the
campaign into other States. Inasmuch
as the President is deeply interested in
the ,Secretary's political fortunes, was
but natural that there should be a free
