Republican Nominee Declares he

Many Democrats Write That

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

HOT SPRINGS, Va, July 17.-Mel-
Vile E Ingalls,, ex-president of the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad. arrived
this morning and is at his summer
cottage, which faces the Homestead
hotel in which Judge William H. Taft
has apartments. ingalls, played golf
with the republican candidate this
afternoon. Taft was told of the state
ment that ingalls, would ask him to
promise that he viii not prosecute
railroads; that il he does not promise,
a cut in wages will be made.
He hasn't asked me yet" said Taft.
and L don't think he will Mr. ingalls,
is a democrat and has announced him
self for Bryan. Doesn't it seem unTea-
sonabIe that he would be selected as
a messenger. even supposing the rail-
roads would send such a messenger to
me?"
Taft, was asked if he would make
such a promise to any one
II would not" he replied
ingalls, said: There is not a word of
truth in the story"
Arthur 1. vorys, manager of the ma
tional campaign in Ohio, issued
statement today saying that the man
ayers of the national campaign will
not interfere with the election of
United States senator to succeed Sena-
tor Foraker.
SUPPORT FROM DEMOCRATS
Democrats of many southern states
are writing to Taft declaring their
purpose to vote for him and do what
ever may be in their power to secure
his election. Letters have been re-
ceived from democrats in Maryland.
Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina
and Georgia assuring Taft that it is
the belief of the writer's that those
states will elect the republican ticket
in the coming election
While Taft reads the letters with in
tegest, he receives information that
there is hope of carrying Georgia with
a feeling that on the part of the writer
the wish is father to the thought IN
tense feeling against the policy of
Hoke Smith in that state is looked
upon as the foundation of bitterness
of Georgia democrats toward the cleo
tfon of Bryan. as they look upon Bryan
and Smith as representing the same
ideas
Maryland democrats say they expect
to see the state go republican and that
there will be many democratic votes to
help carry It.
BELIEVED BRYAN BEATEN
Many of these democratic corre-
spondents have declared that the nomi
nation of Bryan is doubIy repugnant
to them because they believed his de-
feat in two campaigns had disposed of
him as a candidate of the democratic
party and they believed there would
be new leadership of the party TO
represent what they regard as true
democracy.
Taft's mail is constantly increasing.
and this class of letters as forming
considerable part of it. While these
expressions from southern democrats
are regarded as the most interesting
feature of the opposition to Bryan
within his own party, there are
many others from democrats in the
north, Connecticut being prominent in
that respect.

THE SALT TRIBUNE MORNING. OCTOBER o. 1908
TAFT HAS ONE DAY
OF COMPARATIVE QUIET
Candidate Feels That He Needs
Rest to Prepare Him for
Final Round.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 21.-A day OF
absolute quiet and rest is being in
dulged in by William H. Taft. who az
rived here at 7 o clock this morning
and will remain until the same hour
tomorrow morning Mr.. Taft went at
once to the residence Of his brother,
c. P, Taft, saying that he should see
as few people as possible during the
day, that his voice might be improved
as much as possible
The three days work in Indiana
will begin tomorrow and end Saturday
night, when the Taft special will start
at once for New York City. Although
it was decided Monday that the candi-
date would not 90 into Connecticut
the plan is understood to have been
changed to the extent TO have Mr.. Taft
make one speech there next Monday.
Just where the effort is 10 be made has
not yet been decided.
Acquires New Honors.
Judge Taft was today made mem
Der of the Citizens Taft club of Gin
cinnati, an organization of recent
growth. a committee visited the Taft
residence at noon and the candidate
was prevailed upon to go to the head
quarters and address 4 meeting there.
After being duly enrolled rs a mem
Der and introduced TO the gathering,
Judge Taft said he believed that in
matters of this sort it would not be
lmmodcst in him to state that he
should vote with the club. Seriously
speaking, he said, nothing had given
him so much real qualification as the
of his friends and neighbors
and fellow townsmen. He commented
on tho usefulness OF the organization,
saying that the carrying of the politi.
cal discussions home by persons who
personally knew the candidate was far
more effective than having such work
done by strangers.
The candidate spoke OF his former
residence in the city, his four years
absence in the Philippines and four
years at Washington, adding, with n
smile. he hoped 1T would not be ncccs-
sary for him TO move to the city dur
ing the next four years, although he
should always maintain his home In
His reception was an expression of
exceeding cordiality, and after he had
received the members of the club and
the many others presented he returned
to the {, =. Taft residence to again
resume the quiet of the day which he
regards as the necessary preparation
TO the continuous work Of the campaign
which is to keep him engaged until
election morning.
