SENTIMENT FOR TAFT.

tn HE drift of sentiment among RepuphcanS
u for the nomination of Secretary lait TOT
President is plainly shown in an interesting 49, "a ~
nrinted by the Baltimore American. Inc az

creases According to the American esliii1S'f 10 ~

not seem possible that if Secretary Taft even ap-
proximates this strength, there can at any tune
be the slightest danger of deadlock.
In This table two of the Delaware votes are
placed in the Taft column and the other TOUR are
accredited to Senator knox, of Pennsylvania 30
far as we know, Senator Richardson IS the only
Delawarean who will probably be delegate VINO
is placed in the Knox column, but according 10
the American the presumption is that iour oeis- I
gates from this State will go to Knox we
doubt it.
In the estimate accredited to Senator Knox are
these lone four Delaware delegates and the del
eeaton from Pennsylvania. But the Pennsyl-
vanans have already thrown up the Knox sponge
and Congressman Dalzell, the leader oil the Knox
men, has pronounced his case hopeless. There
fore we do not presume Delaware however
much her Republicans may admire Knox, will
throw their votes away by supporting the dis
tinguished Pennsylvania senator In fact, we
believe the sentiment among the Republicans in
this State is strongly for President Roosevelt, his
policies and tOr secretary ldtt
Senator Dupont, in the interview printed in
THE JOURNAL, plainly showed his sentiment
for Taft, and Former Senator Higgins, who is a
keen observer Of political affairs has pronounced
for Taft The only opposition is what may be
called scattering--in Sussex county.
One thing, however, is perfectly clear in all
the discussion Of the question, and that is the
Republican party will take no step backward.
The policies advocated by President Roosevelt
are the policies approved by vast majority of
the people of this country, regardless of party
affiliations
This is plainly brought out by the Americans
table TO which we alluded above Out OF
total OF go delegates TO be in the convention I2l
are accredited to Speaker Cannon and so to Vice
President Fairbanks, making a total of fewer
than 200 who by even a stretch of the magina-
ton may be cassed as reactonaries Fairbanks
gains his Indiana votes as a matter of State
pride, and as a second choice we doubt whether
any considerable part of the Fairbanks or the
cannon strength would 60 in opposition to the
Roosevelt policies or for another so-called con-
servative candidate OF course there NAV be

but the wind at present is blowing a gale in the

10 AMEND SHERMAN LAW.

Y HE conference of administration leaders at
\ the White House the other night consd-
cred more amendments to the Sherman Anti
fIrust Law which, if adopted, will in a large
measure clear up the agitation over railroads and
other corporations.
If the plans suggested at the conference are
carried out the trusts and big combinations Of
capital, including the railroad companies, will be
placed under Federal supervision. Under the
suggested conference plan, combinations NAV be
formed and those that exist continued. provided
hnformation concerning them is placed in the
hands OF the national commissioner of corpora
tons. The railroad may form pools or traffic
agreements, provided such arrangements are ap-
proved by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion.
1t was also suggested that labor organizations
be exempted from the statute. This latter pro-
vision will be bitterly fought by the influences
that have been so radical in their opposition to
the unions.
According to Washington messages, President
Roosevelt is anxious to have the Sherman law
amended as soon as possible. II is not probable
that the amendments will be seriously opposed.
Many leading railroad men have declared
themselves in favor of supervision as discussed
by the conference, and they will agree to almost
anything within reason that will cause the rail.
