OWN STATE
FOR SECRETARY TAFT
Declares Mr.. Bryan's Former
Partner in an Interview
of Recent Date.


NEW YORK. Feb. 21.-Among
those who called on William Jen-
nings Bryan at his headquarters in
the Hotfmane Houses while the Me-
braskan was in the city, were Al r,
Talbot, OF Lincoln, Neb., who was
~ years Mr. Bryaas law partner,
and James Monohau,S, Of ST.. Paul,
Mimi. Mr.. Tallbot is a Republican
but Mr.. Monohan is a Democrat.
Both OF hemia,eigeassipg the polit-
zeal conditions in the West, said
that the nomination of Secretary
Taft appeared to be a foregone con-
c%lusion, and that Republicans in
that section are for him.
Mr.. Talbot said: Nebraska will
certainly be for Taft and all my
section of the country is for him.
There is some talk of the candidacy
of Governor Hughes, but he has no
followers in the West, and there
does not seem to be anything in the
way of general movement for him.
The people who l have seen here
seem to regard the nomination of
Secretary Taft as certain. They do
not seem to think that the Hughes
movement will result in making Mr..
Hughes the nominee of the onven
ton. Mr.. Taft has the broadcast ex-
p%erience Of any of the candidates
for the Republican nomination for
the presidency"
