The report that President Roosevelt
would make stump speeches for Judge
Taft will not down. 1t was declared
from oyster Bay, apparently authori-
tatively, thatthe President did not con-
template making any speeches for
Judge Taft. And It was stated with
positiveness that he would not do so,
But the fact remains that many Re-
pilblicans believe and hope Mr.. Roose-
welt will go on the stump in behalf
OF his candidate, and many Democrats
fear It. j,s55t5s
In all probability the truth Of the
matter is that IL Mr.. Roosevelt feels
at any time during the campaign that
the success OF Judge Taft is in any
degree dependent upon such q course
he will trample all precedents and make
some speeches in behalf of the Repub-
ilican candidate. So keep your eye on
President Roosevelt.
Should he take the stump It may be
regarded as certain that the Republt-
cans are scared. It may be that he
will confine himself to writing one or
two letters in behalf of Taft and Sher-
man.

B. Parker have been invited to ad-
dress the workingmen Of Washington
at the great Labor Day celebration at
