as their candidate Cor Governor. He is re-

senator Bradley advises Mr.. Taft that the
prospects for Republican victory are encour-
aging.
WORK IN THE SOUTH.
II has been announced that Mr.. Taft desires
10 speak in Tennessee, and this, together with
his encouragement Of the Republicans Of Vir-
GINA North Carolina and Georgia, has led some
OF his friends TO fear that he attaches too much
Importance 10 Republican votes in the South.
and that, With only a limited campaign fund,
too great portion might be expended in the
South, where Degocratic control of the nacl2in-
cry makes fair count Of Republican votes al
most unattainable and the race question in'pels
many Southerners TO vote against their convic-
tons On national questions. But those who
cherish this anxiety may rest at ease. Mr.. Taft
is not rainbow chaser. He feels it TO be his
duty 20 develop, 50 far as is practicable. the Re
publican sentiment in the South Rarely, If
ever, has the Democracy placed before its
Southern members candidate who Is so IN
welcome. and Mr.. Taft feels that he must.
the leader Of his party. take advantage of this
situation and do all in his power 10 split 1.-The
Solid South not only by capturing any South
ern state possible, but by polling s large
Republican vote in the Southern states as
be obtained There is every indication that
virginia, North Carolina and Georgia will poll
mere Republican votes than ever before in the
history OF The party, and MI. Taft appreciates
that every Republican vote cast this year means
al least two Republican votes four years hence,
ano Sc Or For that reason he will make al
proper and reasonable efforts 10 roll up large
minor1ties, where II is not reasonable to
expect small piuralities
