lican state executive committee. Judge
Taft looks with some favor upon tho
rally and will upon his return from
Cincinnati consider fixing a date In
August for Its occurrence. He coin
cides with the view expressed by the
delegation that good politics dictated
that an active campaign be made not
only m the Old Dominion, but also IN
North Carolina and Georgia.

national committee Judge Taft is
quoted as saying to the delegation. "a
