Taft Boom Gets Check

Determined Opposition TO White House
Domination in Iowa and Ohio Signifi-
cant of Difficulties Ahead

The Taft Presidential movement APP

have suffered checks in Ohio and Iowa,
That there viii be a determined oppO-
sition in Iowa to lining up the State,
bright and early. for TAFT. and making

sion from some recent manifestations
IN that state Iowa is a bell-wether
State IT'S section. as Ohio is farther
last aad the prospect of determined
fights against White House domination
and Taft delegations IN both OF them
is regarded as highly significant OF diff
hculties ahead of the Taft movement.
The story comes from Des Moines
that when a member of the lower house
OF the Legislature introduced a resolu-
ton indorsing Roosevelt for a third
term, the opposition. headed by the Cum
minis leaders in the assembly, induced
its author not to cali it up, and mean

The politicians see in this the evidence

that the Cummins people in Iowa have
not entirely forgotten that in their fights
IN past years the Washington Admins
tration has been, IL not hostile, at least
IN no way actively friendly 10 them.
SO 1t appears that the Iowa politi-
clans are by no means united on the
idea Of shelving their own favorite son
aud climbing into the Teft band wagon.
There IS possibility, and very strong
possibility, that such fight as has
been outlined in Iowa might become
about as important and determined as
the Ohio contest The Congressional
delegation from Iowa IS not so strongly
opposed 10 Cummins now as Il was a
year ago, and Cummins then won over
the entire delegation.
In Ohio the Taft people are considered
to lose an important advantage by the
ruling that a popular primary test %
opinion as between Taft and Foraker
IS unconstitutional. If this stands it
viii render impossible the test by which
the TAFT people had the best chance OF
winning Senator Foraker gets away
with the credit Of having asked for this
settlement. and yet does not have to
submit his fortunes to 1t. Undoubtedly
he would be stronger If the delegations
We're selected in the old-fashioned way,
because his control of the machinery
would be worth far more TO him in that
sort OF a contest than In a popular pri-
mary.

astounded to learn that his death was
FASTENED by a band of swindlers who
levied blackmail upon him, using
woman as their willing tool
To protect his name and reputation
from assaults which he feared would be
taken seriously by a cynical world, he
paid the swindIers. It IS believed, many
thousands of dollars-some estimate the
total at more than 100000.
He worried much during the last few
months Of his life. not because Of his
disappearing fortune. but because Of
his fear that a blot might be cast upon
mis- political and personal record, the
purity OF which had ever been his
greatest pride. and which stands I'M

1T is known that a woman announced
herself as the wife OF Mr.. Grow. and his
friends fear she may now advance a
claim upon the small estate left by him.

that end. but If so. the relatives OF Mr..
Grow have received no official notice.
