TAFT GAINING STRENGTH.
Independent Political Writer Finds
Republican Candidate Popular.

Walter Wellman, the Washinytor
correspondent of the Chicago Record.
Herald, thinks Taft is gaining strength
Writing Of his candidacy recently he
said:
1T Is not denied that for some weeks
AFTER the Chicago convention there was
in h East, at least, an undertone of
prejudice against Judge Taft. sprinsins
from the belief that he was Il mere
echo Of Roosevelt; that he was mot
his own man." that he could not have
been nominated but for the Presidents
aid, and that he is only a stalking, horse
for the man at Oyster Bay. Curiously
enough. many men who like Roosevelt,
and would vote for him II he were to
'un again. felt lukewarm toward Taft
because of this belief that he was only
tae Presidents shadow. Now this feei.
ing Is largely wearing away. /; never
was entertained by men wh) knew the
facts. who knew Taft himself, Nhu
Vele familiar with the strength OF his
Character, his independence Of mind.
Flu the men who did entartp'n it are
beginning to perceive that lie Is his
OWL man and a strong one ut that.
The more speeches Taft takes, the
more frankly and plainly he talks, the
Ii SIS will there be Of his mistaken no
TIN that he is overshadowed by an-
other. Tafts frank talk On the lai,oR

blunt denial Of the foolish story that
he once said 81 q day vas wages

him more good thar his more labored
and p%retentious efforts.
Judge 1'aft's friends argue t"at to
some extent he has been a m%isunler

the stump to show the country what
be really is. They would like to have
TIE masses of the people look upon hin
III the same way as he 10 looked upon
by residents Of this city, where he IL

rational capital, be he Republican OF

Taft, and he will tell you that Taft
is one Of the biggest, strongest, nnest
characters we have ever had in public
life. This is my own opinion, and for
twenty years l have known and watch
