GERMANY SATISFIED.
Thinks Taft Good Man to Carry Out
Administrations Policies.

Berlin, June 19.-The nomination Of
Sec. Taft for the Presidency in pub
lished in brief form in the Berlin
papers this morning. The news came
too late, however, for comment The
proceedings of the Chicago convention
have been reported in brief form only,
owing to the belief that Mr.. Taft was
sure of the nomination. Emperor Will
liam has been fully informed through
the German embassy at Washington q.
Mr. Taft's personality and the likeli-
hood of his nomination.
The news was commented on pleas
antly in official quarters today. From
the German point of view Secretary
Taft is regarded as a suitable states
man to carry out the construction of
the Panama canal, the Philippine, nav
al, far Eastern trade, and other gen.
eral foreign policies of the present adj
ministration.
Internal controversies are less known
and get less attention in Germany.

A STRONG CANDIDATE
And An Excellent President, Says One
Partisan Paper.

Paris, June 19.-The nomination of
Sec. Taft for the Presidency has been
regarded by the French press as a
foregone conclusion. and comment on
the result at Chicago is slow in maxi
ing it's appearance. The Petite Re-
publique considers Mr.. Taft's nomi-
nation victory for the spirit of i'm
2erialism.
THE great Democracy" this paper
says, after avoiding this spirit for 50
long. ends by ceding to it; it is bad
symptom"
The Temps says the services rem
dered by Mr.. Taft to his country fully
justify his nomination and after re-
viewing his varied activity and laying
stress upon his successful conduct of
delicate negotiations with the Vatican
and the Japanese government this
journal attributes his success to his
frankness and his quiet tenacity. In
conclusion the paper says:
He will make a strong candidate
and an excellent President

interesting phenomenon in the working
of the American constitution
The Daily Graphic, describes Mr..
Taft as an "American dauphin," add
ing There is something Napoleonic
about this creation of new legitimacy

The chief point of the Republican

here is the fiscal plank. The Nation
thinks it should lead to a reduction in
the tariff in free trade in Great Britain.

won the affection of the army to
high degree and most of the most dis
tinguished of the men who served in
the army a the time he was in the
Philippines, have urged his appoint
ment because they felt he was in
peculiar way their champion, and to
a peculiar degree understood them and
their needs. This is especially true as
regards the men who We're veterans
of the Civil War Moreover his great
administrative and legal ability both
peculiarly fit him to deal with the
problems in the Philippines, Panama
and cuba; for the work of the war
department is such now that only
man with special fitness and unusual
trining is able to do justice to it. OF
all the men in the country, the Pres
idcn1 feels that Luke +. Wright is the
man best equipped to take up the
work Of the department, which for the
last seven years, has been under the
control Of Sec Root and then Taft.
As a young man he was captain in
the Confederate army. He is one of
III leading lawyers not only of his
state. but of the entire South. He has
also been foremost in advocating ana
insisting upon fair treatment for the
co'ored people. He first definitely es-
taLlished his reputation in the terri
bic days of the yellow fever epidemic
at Memphis, when he practically made
himself mayor of the town and took
charge of all the relief measures
showing what may justly be called he
roic devotion to duty and Indifference
to MS own life together with the mas
terful qualities of a successful admin
self struck down by the plague he was
fighting, but lived to see it stamped
out and himself take part in introduce
ing to Memphis the hygienic measures
which have since made it one of the
model health cities of the world.
He was appointed by President Nc
kinley as one Of the Philippines COM
mission and enjoyed President McKin-
ley's heartiest confidence, being Sc
lccted as one of the SouthernerS who
We're in sympathy with his adminstra-
ton. Under President Roosevelt he
Yves promoted first to be assistant
governor and then governor of the
Philippines and was afterWard made |
the first ambassador to Japan. In all
positions he served with signal fidelity |
and has been in hearty and outspoken
agreement with the administra ton in
