Cincinnati, Ohio. July 26,--.As the
calm before the storm, was the Sab
bath observance of William II. Taft
today in the home of his brother,
Charles. The presidential candidate
will work at the trade, of politics to-
morrow, attending the meeting OF the
state central committee. meeting in
| formally the members of the notifi-
cation committee, lending his aid to
| the local arrangements committee.
and placing himself generally at the
| disposition of national and state lead
| era.
! And on Tuesday he will deliver his
speech Of acceptance and then sur
render himself completely to the
vagaries of riot Of political enthu-
siasts. With Mrs. Charles p Taft
and her daughter, Miss Louise, he
attended the morning services of Christ
! Episcopal church, the ancient edifice
is undergoing repairs, and the services
were held in the basement, the ca
pacity Of which was tested by the at
tendance. Rev w. H. Poole one of
the assistant rectors. drew a lesson
from the first verse of the tenth chap
ter of Matthew;
"And when he had called his dis
ciples unto him, he gave unto them
power"
! While there was no reference to the
/ presence of the candidate, the preach
er sought to make emphatic that
power for good and not contrition
confession or even charity, is the in
fiuence which the Christian church
should exert among men.
Mr.. Taft joined heartily in the ser
vice and at it's conclusion was made
the center of an admiring group oI
acquaintances and friends, many OF
whom he greeted by their first names
and with all Of whom he shook hands
With his two escorts he walked hall
a dozen blocks viewing the decora-
tions which even then were being put
| in place. He retraced his steps to the
I home of his brother. where he is stay
J ing, and remained there until late In
the afternoon, when he paid a visit tC
| the bedside of former State Senator
John w. Heron. father of Mrs. Taft
who has been i'll for some time IT
the evening Arthur l. Vorys, who ar
rived late, spent some time at the
Taft residence
Senator Warner, Of Missouri chair
man of the notification committee
reached the city during the day bu
did not present himself to Mr. Taft
! remarking factitiously that he was IN
grave fear that Mr. Taft had alread,
gained a suspicion of the fact of hli
nomination, which was to be revealed
to him Tuesday.
Frank II. Hitchcock who is expect
ed tomorrow, will make a report e
the candidate on conditions in th'
west as ne has found them during hi
recent visit to that section. Elmer
Dover, secretary of the national com
mittee, will also reach the city to-
morrow.
Importance is attached to the meet
ing tomorrow of the Ohio state cen
tral committee to be attended by Mr.
Taft as the meeting Is declared to b.
intended to generate common un
derstanding, singeness of purpos'
and enthusiasm, which, carried away
by the various members, will permeat'
all parts OF the state.
