From being ueclueuiy upprencuHife
as to the outcome of Judge Tafts
speaking tours Republican leaders are
now convinced that one OF the wisest
moves of the campaign was the deci
sion TO let the Republican, candidate
visit as many sections Of the country
rs possible between now and election
iay aud talk to as many voters as the
time viii permit. When speaking tours
for Taft were first discussed the oppo-
nents OF the plan based their opposi
tion Oh the fact that as an orator laii
cannot be compared TO Bryan. They
argued that raft. who makes no pre-
tense TO oratory. would be placed at
disadvantage appearing on the stump
against the gifted Nebraskan. But
Judge TAFT himself solved the problem
and cleared the whole situation with
one sentence Ia his recent speech at
Sundusky q.
