If Secretary of War Taft should
be nominated for the presidency,
there are numerous good reasons
why Governor Hughes might be
selected as his running mate, and if
these reasons should be controlling
Mr.. Hughes personal desires would
not be considered, any more than
were those of Governor Roosevelt
In 1900. He would strengthen the
republican ticket in New York, is
esteemed throughout the country
and would give more strength to
the ticket than any unknown man,
however popular the unknown man
might afterward become.

FROM the reports that com from
Washington, all of the governors
who attended the conference at
the White House, with the excep.
ton of those from Indiana, Wis.
consln, Illinois, and New York
are of the opinion that Secretary
Taft will be nominated either on
the first ballot or by acclamation.
Republicans and democrats alike
stated in interviews that the fight
for the nomination was practically
over and that Mr.. Taft would be
the nominee of his party and that
he would in all probability be
opposed by Mr.. Bryan. There
seems TO be little doubt that the
secretary of war will lead the
republican party to victory at the
polls in November.
