The first lady in the land in the
event of secretary William H. Taft
election to the presidency Will be In
dependent democratic, and will have
only that regard for precedent that Is
absolutely necessary. Mrs. Taft Is

and his wife like to welcome visitors

they are made to feel that the Taf,
home is their own. If they come on
business they are treated with the ut
most courtesy. No one ever goes from

an intrusion.
This is one of the reasons why Mr.
and Mrs. Taft have hosts of friends ir
