CURRENT TOPICS AT CAPITAL
THE OUTLOOK FOR Mr.. TAFT

passionate point OF view can doubt
that TAFT today has the nomination
In his grasp. lie has had the enor.
nous advantage Of presidential sup.
port and the necessary support there
fore Of all the federal ofiiceholders.
lie has had the aid OF more money
than was ever before expended in
campaign for the nomination, more
even than mark Hanna spent In be-
half of Mckinley. The Taft headquar.
ters swarm with workers. none OF
whom are working for fun. and the
Taft press bureau. like the Johnson
press bureau, is sending out gratis
pages OF ready print and p,ate mat
ter to the newspapers In ne United
States With the exception OF ~ con
testing delegation from the south
there seems to be no break in the
triumphant progress of Taft-to the
nomination. But his further progress
Is likely to be much impeded by the
facts that as originator of the doc
trine of government by Injunction
as the approyer and defender of the
PRESIDENT course in discharging
from the united States army without
trial battalion OF colored troops,
made up largely of veterans who had
fought nobly and we'll and finally as
a public official who has for not less
than six months neglected and even
ignored the duties Of his office, so that
even senator Of his own party
found 1t necessary to rebuke him in
public speech. he has not proved
himself the type of public official
whom the American people desire to
put In the white house.
President Roosevelt appeals to the
common people. and appeals most
successfully, Secretary Taft enjoying
the Roosevelt support is now making
his appeal to Wall street and the
interests. II Is a strong combination
politicians say. But one wonder,
whether it can humbug enough vot
ers to win.

New YORK World and the Washington

figure out u possible third OF the
convention in antagonism to him.
Nobody has succeeded in coinciding
with the views OF these papers. and
the men In and about the capital

There were nine members of each
class selected by their classmates, and
these were known as cocks" which is

spoon, and they all joined in a public
performance called the wooden spoon
