TAFT STRONG, SAYS BACON.
Georgia Senator Thinks Democrats
Need Good Candidate.

Atlanta Ga. June 22.-'I think Secre-
tary Taft will make strong candidate"
said United States Senator Bacon to-day.
in discussing the action Of the Chicago
convention.
Senator Bacon continued. Il think the
business interests Of the North will be
solidly behind him unless the Democrats
nominate a candidate who will be accept
able TO the business element. When
say business element I mean that in its
widest sense and do not confne il to any
particular class of business men or TO
any particular calling
The business men Of the country are
divided upon political questions and po-
litcal issues. just as other men through
out the country are. but there is one thing
upon which they are. generally. speaking.
entirely united and that is that they will
not actively support any man whom they
consider 10 be unsafe and dangerous 10
the business interests of the country.
Therefore, in my opinion. If the Demo-
Gratis expect to make a fight in this cam
paign with any hope Of success the can
didate whom they nominate must be a
man who will be recognized as safe and
sound by the business men Of the coun-
try. II such a man is nominated. who is
also a fit and proper man in other re-
spects, my opinion is that the chances Of
Democratic success will be first class"

busy with negotiations, at both the Bryan
and Johnson headquarters.
The delegates from this State Will prob
ably split on the question Of voting for
Bryan. some Of them protesting to still
believe that his nomination IS not such a
foregone conclusion as It is generally re-
garded. IL is claimed that assurances Of
support FOR Mr. Katzenbach have been re-
ceived from various delegations. and with
this encouragement. the Jersey Democrats
