Gratis to bcat,' said Congressman a.
f. Lever in the hotel lobby last night
81 Was surprised when / saw that
Taft had been nominated. When Taft
was a federal judge he issued iniunc-
tion after injunction. | understand
there is an anti-injunction clause in
the Republican platform. They arc
running an injunction man on an
anti-mjuncti"n platform. But the
people are not 50 easily fooled. I be-
llcvc that Taft was run in by Roosc-
Welt. and had if not been for the
backing he has received from the Adj
ministration he would not ! ave had Il
chance in the world. Roosevelt has
been able to control his licuienants
and their votes. but when Taft goes
before the people Roosevelt will not
be able to dictate to the people, or
even Influence them through his lieu
tenants.
81 do not think that the Dcmocra-
ic party will win ont in the campaign
this year, but think that Bryan will
give Mr.. Taft a run for his money. I
do think that if Johnson had an
nounccd sooner than he did that he
would be nominated at the Denver
convention, and we would have a fine
chance Of clcctn@ the next President.

is rotten plank in the Republican

Dear Henry: | write this letter to
You rs my resignation Of the position
Of parliamentary floor leader for the
minority, the resignation to take
place upon the first Monday Of De-
cembcr following tins date. T have
been thinking about it great deal,
and it seems to me r.at if the next
house goes Democratic whoever is 90
ing to be speaker Of that house ought
to have at least the training Of the
last, or short, session OF this congress,
not only to fit him for its parliament
tary, duties but also to make a more
intimate acquaintance with the per-
sonnel on the Democratic side than
perhaps he otherwise might have. IF
upon the other hand the next house
shall be Republican the preliminary
training will be just as necessary in
order to fit him for the very arduous
duties Of leadership during the 61st
congress.

friends about rcsigntng, FOR fear they
