The method Of conducting the TAFT
presidential movement is going to be
radically different Following the war
trip.
The secretary ID going to be a can
didate in his own right and on mis- own
merits. He is no longer to be exploit
ed as the heir apparent, designated as
such by the crown He Is TO be cut
loose from his moorings to the Presi.
dent and the letter Of presidential pol.
icies, and there Is an impression that
by way of making this separation
plain to everybody, he will before long
go on record for with q stronger dec
laration for tariff revision than he has
ever made, and stronger than the
President has ever put out. The Pres
ident. on his side, is, to quit talking to
callers about the desirability and avail
ability of Taft.
Visits to Washington.
ALI this and considerable more is
said to have been arranged at q con-
ference some time ago. It will be re.
called that soon after the ave million

that it would be unfriendly to all fav-

alarmed some Of the possibilities and
presently there were visits to Wash.
ington by Senator Knox, Vice Presi.
dent Fairbanks, and Speaker Cannon.
They all neld conferences with the
President, and 1t developed that the
President was not going to do any Of

all, and Pennsylvania was permitted
to go ahead and indorse Knox to full
Of its hearts desire, without any de.
velopment Of the threatened White
House opposition.
1t has been discovered that Taft as
a yiceregal candidate. has not shown
the expected strength. There hiss
been manifest disposition In all parts
of the country. among republicans, to
reply that If the country is to be ask
cd to elect a man because he is AZ
much as possible like President Roose.
Welt, 1t might as we'll go to the other
stop, and elect Roosevelt himself. The
third term movement, ais a result OF
this growing feeling, has been doing all
the business of late, and IN the pools
Is selling as a. strong favorite. This
has concerned the Taft managers seri-
ously. and SO they have decided on the
