To say that Judge Taft's friends in

in which he plays the political game
on his own hook is putting It mildly.
They are Prophesying that before the
campaign Is over the country. will be
convinced that it was Taft shrUwdness
that made the Roosevelt administration
such a picturesque success.

are pleased to contrast his behavior in
the limelight with President Roosevelt
They admit. had the President been

would have settled il once and for all
They are rather proud of the fact that
Judge. TAFT did not do It that way.
They believe he will be the stronger for
this display Of consideration of all sides
Of the matter before taking the fatal
leap They say it will appeal to the
business interests Of the country that
have made success possible in the past.

It is estimated that the Presidential
nominee is about to pull of some stunts
in the Ohio political situation which
will make old politicians sit up and
take a second squirt at Buckeye Bill. -
There is no denying the fact that the
