TAFT HEARS
FROM The SOUTH
Republicans Expect to Win
Several States Ihere--C -Candi-
date Cuts Down Ills Letter
May BE WITHIN $500 WORDS

Nv limited Press Leased Special Wire.
HOT SPRINGS, July 17.-Up with
the sun Candidate Taft got to work
today on his speech Of acceptance be-
fore breakfast and only stopped long
enough to admit that many Of his zoo
letters a day are coming from south
ern Democrats who predict big gains
for him south of Mason. and Dixon
line Man yof these letters, he SAID
are com. .ng from Maryland, Kentucky
rrennessee. North Carolina and Georgia,
vyheer his correspondents say Demo-
cratic leaders are only waiting deceni
onnortunitv to climb onto the Tart
bandwagon. ~.
The Republican managers in Ken
tucev. Mr.. Taft has been informed are
almost certain that they will ry that
state and they have great hopes OF
success in Tennessee and Maryland. III
North Carolina they are hopeful, out
thev confidently believe that the
smith Brown Howell fight in Georgia
will nut that Staet in the Republican
column. the more so, they write that
Johnson was the choice of Georgia
Democrats and that there is no great
liking there for Bryan.
Candidate Taft. in his struggles to
condense his speech of acceptance from
10000 to $500 words has enlisted an
effective ally. Today Mrs. Taft, who
has been the lifelong literary and po-
litical aide of her big husband, grasped
the blue pencil and started in to trim
offe the edges of some of his para
graphs
Mrs Taft is strong advocate OF
brevity." said the cand' date. she says
my best speeches were my shortest
ones and she'll lend a hand in cutting
my effort down"
That substantial progress has been
made in Mr.. ./Taft's task is plain from
the fact that he has agreed to play
golf late today with M. e. ingalls,, a
Cincinnati and New York financier, whc
is here for the summer.
