Taft Grows Weaker.
The large number of contestng dele
cations which are being elected bv
the Republicans all over the coun
try, especially in the South. such
delegations in every instance being
opposed to the nomination of
Secretary TAFT, makes the latter's
chances for the nomination decidedly
poorer than they were a week ago.
1t begins to appear as though every
Republican delegation from a Southern
State would have to face contest at
Chicago. In every case the delegation
claiming to be regular is instructed
for Taft or is composed of men who
have declared for him
In every case also the contesttng
delegations are for practically anybody
to beat Taft. In other words, it is the
old cry of the field against Taft"
The cause of this opposition to Sec
rotary Taft which has developed in
the South Is undoubtedly due in large
measure to the sincere opposition
of a considerable portion of the
Republican party to have the
party's affairs conducted by a few
