of study which he was following.
Mr.. Taft was graduated from Yale
with the degree of bachelor of arts
He stood second in class of 121, and
was the salutatorian and class orator.
When he was graduated from the Gin

first prize. Judge Taft was not a
wealthy man, and William, his educa-
ton finished, became entirely the
architect of his own fortunes.

He was admitted to the bar in 1880
Then he tried his hand at newspaper
work ON the Cincinnati Times and the
Cincinnati Commercial. He was APP

job with characteristic ardor, fruitful

settle a fractional fight, Mr.. Taft ac

HON. WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT.

She was Judge Taft's second wife. Sec
rotary Taft was their second son. He
was born in Cincinnati on Sept. Is,
1857. In his boyhood days at Mount
Auburn, the suburb of Cincinnati,
where the Tafts lived, William was
the leader among his comrades, num-
bered among whom were many who
have since arrived at positions of dis
tinction in the business and profess
sional world.
Cannot BE Bought.
He was a hard student, but zestful
for full and healthy recreation. Two
men who were reared with him recently
uttered sentiments which admirably
serve as induces to the secretary's
character. One said, quite as matter
of course, that he would lend 'Bill''
Taft every cent he had in the world
without q scratch OF the pen to show
for it. The other said: ABill" Taft
could not be bought or budged from
what he thought was right by the six
hundred, or whatever number of bill
lions of dollars there may be in the
whole country When he entered
Yale Mr. Taft was only seventeen.
His father and one OF his half brothers
had taken honors, and Mr.. Taft re-
garded it quite q matter of course that
he should do the same. He concen-

Goes on the Bench.
Gov. Foraker i'm 1887 placed him
upon the bench of the superior court
and in the following year he was
elected for full five-year term. Pres
ident Harrison offered him the post of
solicitor general Of the United States
in 1880, and he accepted, although he
had not been an applicant. In this
field Mr.. Taft assumed responsibilities
far weightier than any with which
he had before COPIED. He won invari-

States in the most important actions
of the Harrison administration, one Of
them being the seal fisheries case,
precipitated by the capture of a Cana

ROLL OF NOTEWORTHY
DEEDS OF CRAFTSMANSHIP

Measured by years, William Howard
Taft is only fifty. Conservatively esti-
mated by the scale of accomplishment
he is fully twice that age Few men
of fifty, even in these days of rapid de-
velopment when success largely is
gagged by the winning of dollars, have
to their credit the deeds of important
achievement set down to the score of
the secretary of war. The record of
his mature years is an enviable and
immaculate roll of noteworthy deeds
of craftsmanship, of creative and adj
ministrative functions in judicial and
civil life, which have brought him in
ternational fame, and set him pre-
eminently before the eyes of the coun-
try as the embodiment of the highest
type and ideal of an American citizen
who is true to his convictions, to his
trust and to his fellow man.
Solves Vast Problems.
Mr.. Taft was twenty -four years old
when he entered the public service as
assistant prosecuting attorney in Gin

superior court at thirty, appointed to
fill a vacancy, and in the following year

to more important tasks, until now as
secretary of war, and additionally
weighted with the responsibility of
bringing order from chaos in Cuba
with the solution of the vaster prob
lens presented by the Philippines and
with the gigantic job of digging the
Panama canal he has undisputed right
to the title which has been conferred
upon him of "the busiest man of busy

lnherits Sturdy Character.
In Mr.. Taft's sturdy traits of char
acter, his resolute opposition to deeds
either personal or those Of others,
which do not square with his prompt
ings of conscience and his inf1exible
will, one may easily discern the inf1u-
ence of his New England ancestry

and the direction of the provisional

MOUNTING TAFT BAND WAGON
Secretary Will Go to Convention With More Than Two
thirds of Delegates Pledged to Him

There will be $50 delegates to the
Republican national convention which
meets in Chicago on June is for the
purpose of selecting candidate for
president, and of this number Secre-
tary Taft must receive majority
491 Votes--in order to carry off the
prize. AS indicating whether or not
he will be able to control that number
of votes the friends of the secretary
of war point to the fact that of the
1873 delegates chosen at the close of
the first week in March 10S have been
instructed to vote for Mr.. Taft OF
the remaining thirty, twenty-six have
been instructed for Vice President
Fairbanks, all of them in his home
state of Indiana, and four others, two
in Alabama and two in Missouri, are
uninstructed. If this ratio is main
tanned during the remaining two
months of the canvass for delegates
Mr.. Taft will go to the Chicago con-
vention with more than two thirds of
the delegates pledged to his candidacy.
During the first week in March forty
delegates were chosen to the national
convention, every one of whom was in
structed to vote for Mr. Taft. Mr..
Taft's native state started off the
month with a state convention held in
Columbus on March and and named
four delegates-at -large and instructed
them for Mr.. Taft. These delegates
are Charles p. Taft of Cincinnati,
brother of the secretary of war: For
mer Governor Myron T.. Herrick, Ar
thur /. Vorys and Gov. Andrew L.

with state convention at which her
delegates at large were instructed to

On the night of election in Novem-
Der, 1904, when returns which We're
pouring into the White House from all
sections of the country showed that
Theodore Roosevelt had been chosen
by an overwhelming majority to sue
coed himself as president of the Unit
ed States, Mr.. Roosevelt issued a
formal statement to the effect that he
would not be candidate for another
term From that moment the question
in the minds of the leaders of the Re
publican party throughout the country
has been one concerning the selection
of his successor. For a time there
were many who, while not doubling the
sincerity of the president in declaring
his intention not to be his party's stand
ard bearer again. nevertheless insist
ed that in order to carry out the poll
cies which he had so successfully in
augurated he should yield to the un-
mistakable sentiment of the voters
of the country and consent to re-
nomination.
Naturally Turned to Taft.
It became apparent later that the
president said what he meant and that
he intended to stand by it, for in ev-
cry subsequent utterance on. the sub
ject he has only the more strongly en-
phasized his statement and his posi-
ton in the matter. Naturally, when
Mr. Roosevelts position came to be
thoroughly understood and appreciated,
the leaders of the party, directed and
guided by the prevailing sentiment of
the great mass of voters of the country,
began to cast about for the selection
of his successor. Granting the album
dance of presidential material within
the party the first consideration was
for a man who could fill Mr.: Roose-
Velt's political shoes and wear them
with the same ease as Mr.. Roosevelt
himself; in other words for a man in
thorough sympathy with the presidents
policies and his equal to carry them
successfully into execution. Unques
tionably that man was William Howard
Taft, secretary of war. He had helped
to formulate the presidents policies,
and his administration of affairs in the
Philippines, in Panama, in Cuba and in
the war department generally, as well
as his advice and counsel in other mat
tiers, were. and still are, part of those

knew no other administration leader,
except the president; it knew him for
what he had done; it knew what he

Victory Is Foresone Conclusion.
1t was on this account that early in
the consideration of an available can
didate upon whom the Republican
party could confer the nomination for
president, that attention was directed
to the present secretary of war. Since
the first mention of his name in this
connection-and it would be difficult to
discover the original Taft mantle
