HOT SPRINGS, Va, July I-Judge
William II. Taft has progressed sufficiently
with the task of preparing his letter or
acceptance to be delivered at Cincinnati
on July 2S to make plain the necessity OF
devotlng two or three more days to study
Of various platforms of the republican and
democratic parties and speeches and letters
of acceptance covering a good many years
hefoer he undertakes the work OF putting
his ideas in definite form. Up to today
he has not begun the dictaton Of his
speech. Yesterday and today in his work
of determining what he will say at Cinoin-
natl. he has found It necessary to consult
papers that had not been brought here and
he has had to telegraph to washington Tor
additional documents.
Ever since the appointment Of George r.
Sheldon Of New York as the treasurer
of the national committee and the deter
mination to have publicity of republican
campaign funds under the New York law
Mr. Taft has daily become more and more
convinced of the wisdom OF that course
and it is likely that he will give 1t
considerable prominence in his speech OF
acceptance. He is bearing in mind that
in preparing his letter of acceptance he
will have several weeks more time and in
It he will treat all these matters at great
length of the letter. as 1t will comprise
about 1900 words.
Mr. Taft has accepted an invitation Of
the Virginia Bar association to deliver an
address at Hot Springs, August s. 1t is
not expected that he will intrude on pol
| itics.
Hon. s. Allen Brown of Norfolk, Va,
