BIG REPUBLICANS PROMISE
FEALTY TO PARTY NOMINEE
Foraker Buries Ak and Will Help.
Elkins Is Laudatory.

Senator Foraker of Ohio. the admin
istration's bitterest opponent i'm the re-
publican ranks. was the first member of
the party in this city to announce his al
legiance to Secretary Taft after the news
of the nomination was received last night.
Until the convention made a nominal
tion,'' said Mr.. Foraker. every republic
can had a right to have his own choice.
Now it is no longer a question of men,
but a question of parties.
I'm this way Secretary Taft becomes
my candidate for the presidency. While.
under all the circumstances | can prob
ably do but little. yet l shall do all 1 can
to help elect him.
Republicans will now quit contending
among themselves and turn all their guns
on the common enemy
When informed of the nomination of
Representative Sherman for the vice
presidency, Senator Foraker said this
afternoon:
81 think it is happy choice. He is a
splendid man and has had long experience
in public affairs. He is conservative and
safe in every way, and will add great
strength to the ticket
Senator E,lkins of West Virginia gave
out the following statement:
Mr.. Taft is an ideal candidate and n
fine man in every sense. and will surely
be elected. His nomination means bust
ness confidence and the restoration of
prosperity. He will surely beat Bryan if
the latter is nominated, and the country
has only to wait until November to re-
cord another republican victory
Shaw Says "Hurrah for Taft"
NEW YORK, June 19-Former Secreta-
ry of the Treasury Leslie NJ. Shaw said:
There is no more lovable character in
public life than William H. Taft. He will
be elected easily. and the country will
prosper under his administration.
only small men ever attempt TO imi-
tate. and they always fail. There never
was and never will be an exception.
Taft is a big man with high ideals. lofty
purposes and with marked individuality
and ability to back them all. Therefore
as a citizen and as a republican, l am
happy.
THE administration of Theodore Roose-
welt will pass into history as one of the
best, as 1t certainly is the most popular
and universally approved of all time. and
his name will ever stand among the great
of earth.
Meantime we. the people. will gather
around the new President, believing i'm
him for his own sake and supporting his
policies. because they are worthy OF
support. Hurrah for Taft
