ception Of Taft's Candidacy.
There Is no Questioning the fact
that Mr.. Roosevelt sees in Mr.. Taft the.
man who will best carry on the work
he has ,inaugurated. This has now boan
well understood for long time.
Moreover, President Roosevelt is No
lteved to feel, in common with n great
many oethers, that Mr.. Taft is not UNI
likely to prove the only Republican
who can beat Mr.. Bryan. The Harri-

token materially increased Mr., Bryan's
opportunity and made 1t still moro

that President Roosevelt is encouraged
by tho reception of Mr.. Tafet's candi-
dacy to date. But 1t also is thought

lief that lie has 1t in his powor to

A Trait Of Marshall Field

The authority OF Mr., Ficld was felt
when the section heads were asked
their advice and their suggestions, and
either found approval or disapproval
In tho decision OF the head OF the
house. Mr.. Field did not freely ex-
press his own opinion. but he first Sc
cured tho opinions OF his associates.
In fact, he was never known to out
line n plan of action and declare that
1t must be carried out merely because
1t was his plan. lie was rather a
critic and censor OF Ill plans Initiated
by his Junior partners and the heads Of
his departments. He impressed upon
them his views and his ideas, how-
over, so that their suggestions bore
the stamp Of his methods.

tain policies knew whether lle ap.
