NO REST FOR TAFT.
Business Matters Find Him Out
in Virginia Mountains.
Mass of Correspondence Is Pour
ing in on Him.
STILL FINDS TIME
To Play Golf and Take Rides on
Horseback.
Senator Crane Will Not Be Ma
tiOnal Chairman.

Hot Springs, Va, July 6.-When
Judge William H. Taft arose today he
morethan realized what a difficult task
it is to be a candidate for the presi-
dency and to attempt to secure rest
even amid the isolation of the noun
tains of Virginia. Early this morning
a dozen big boxes of records were de-
livered to his Office and his secretary
superintended the work of arranging
their contents in the file room where
they will be accessible during the next
two months. A mass OF correspond
ing his personal attention and the
dictation of many letters. But in
sisting upon dividing his time between
work and recreation he accepted a
challenge made by Frank B. Kellogg
for another game of golf on the
candidate and the trust buster
started very soon after breakfast.
Mr.. Taft's horses have arrived and
hereafter he will alternate golf with
riding over the mountain paths. He is
a sufficient friend of his big horse to
that to use the animal more frequently
would be absolute cruelty
Mr.. Taft feels that he is a subject
for congratulation because he has
signed all of his Acknowledgements to
letters of congratulation received af-
ter his nomination. He brought over
1900 of them from Washington and
has stuck closely to the task of read
ing and signing them. His mail is ar
irving with great regularity and let
ters needing his personal considera-
ton are constantly increasing in num-
bers.
This afternoon he had another con-
ference with Senator Crane, who ex-
poets to leave here tonight accom-
panied by Representative Lawrence
of Massachusetts. who came with
him. Mr.. Cranes visit has set at rest
the active work of the campaign in
any important way. He has talked
over the situation in New England In
great detail and his suggestions have
been carefully noted by Mr.. Taft.
Senator Beveridge of Indiana. and
Representative Mckinley of illinois,
had an interesting discussion today
| with Mr. Taft. Senator Beveridge's
| interview concerned the difficulties
stirred up in. his state by the action
, of the national convention as to the
Fairbanks delegates and McKinley's
was concerning the treasurership of the
national C committee.
II The coming of Senator Beveridge a
| day ahead of Senator Hemenway and
| Representative Watson permitted Mr.
| Taft to get information on the In
| diana situation before the coming OF
| the man who directly represents the
Fairbanks faction. The state is re-
garded as of such importance that Mr.
Taft considers it highly important
| that there should be assurances OF
| harmony there over the Craftsmanship
| whoever may fill that position.
| Representative Mckinley Is talked
of for the treasurership but Charles G
Dawes Of Chicago, formerly cOmptrol-
| Ter of the currency, is still in mind fol
| that Office. Mr.. McKinley's visit here
| today will do much to clean up the
situation In this respect.

GUFFEY REPLIES TO BRYAN.
Pennsylvania Boss Answers Fourth of
July Speech at Lincoln.

Denver, July 6.-Colonel j. M Guffey
of Pennsylvania, who was attacked by
Mr.. Bryan in speech at Lincoln, has
issued the following statement in re-
ply:
I'm the course of his Fourth of July
speech to IL or Is out OF the 6S dele
gates from Pennsylvania, Mr. Bryan
made certain explicit declarations. He
charged that the Pennsylvania delega-
ton was taken from him by con-
spiracy' against the expressed wish of
great majority of the Democratic
voters. This statement is false The
state convention voted down a resolu-
ton indorsing his candidacy by a sub
stantial majority, and there is no
basis whatever for Mr.. Bryan's as
sumption that the members did not
accurately represent the voters who
had elected the delegates. Mr.. Bryan
personally forced the issue before the
people when, in fiat contradiction of
his boosted non-interference, he came
to Pittsburg, pleaded his own cause
before thousands in exposition hall
and put his own ticket in the field
against the regular candidates. The
result of his fervid appeals was the
election of three and one-half Bryan
delegates and twenty-six and one-hah
anti-Bryan delegates to the state con-
vention.
Mr.. Bryan further asserted, with
for national committeeman was the
first instance of any interference on
his part in local or state politics.
What Was He Doing?
ct believe he unctiously declared.
that the people of each community
know better what they want done than
any outsider can know. Therefore,, he
virtuouSly observes, he has 'abStained
scrupulously from taking part in these
controversies What, then was he do
ing in Kentucky during the last cam
paign for senator? How does he, or can
he, explain his opposition to Mr.. Nc
Graw in West Virginia or his begging
appeals to Democrats in Indiana to de-
feat Mr. Taggart? Did he or did he not,
try to humiliate Roger Sullivan and
drive him off the committee? Did he
or did he not, write this letter to his
friend Judge o. P. Thompson of Hill
nois, on July II, 1906?
MIR. Sullivan's presence on the COM
mittee contradicts all that We can say
in the party's behalf His corporate
connections would harm the party far
beyond his power to aid the organiza-
ton, but this could be left to some
future convention to deal with if he
were actually the choice of the Demo-
Gratis OF Illinois. The fact, however,
that he holds his office by fraud and
against the express wishes of a ma
jority of the state convention makes 1t
impossible for honest Democrats to as
