TAFT AND CUMM|NS
Presidential Ticket Favored in
Administration Circles.
BOTH FOR TARIFF REVISION

Place With La Toilette, but II Is No.
Believed He Would Decline the Pro
posed Combination.
Washington, April 10.-Taft and
Cummins Is the Republican national
ticket being "touted" here by the ad
ministration for next years campaign
The agricultural West Is looked to-
according to friends of President
Roosevelt, to supply the nominee for
vice president and Governor Cum
Minis commanding position In Iowa
ono OF the leading granger states
which has also In its ranks leaders
such men as Shaw, Dolliver and Hep
burn, which makes him q potential
possibility.
Taft and Cummins are both tariff
revisionists and it would appear from
the gossip Of administration politicians
the revision of the tariff schedule will
be- made leading Issue In the Repub
lican platform If the Roosevelt ele
ment of the party can control the next
convention.
Another phase Of the talk concern
ing Cummins' possible selection to be
Taft's running mate, always granting
that the president shall be able to
force Taft's nomination. is the fact
that Governor Cummins and Senator
La Toilette Of Wisconsin are firm
friends.
1t Is true, however, personal friends
Of Governor Cummins say that he
would prefer to have La Toilette nom
mated for president and be his run
ming mate than have Taft OF Ohio the
first choice. But all who know Cum
minis feel that he can hardly afford to
decline second honors whether Taft OF
La Toilette should be named for the
presidency by the convention.
