That such a night can have only one

that the State fight between the two

his assurances Of his friendship 70 the
cause of organized labor.
Reports Received.
Arthur !. Vorys, Tafts chief OF staH
received detailed reports this morning
from Republicans in the towns visited
yesterday and the day before by Taft.
These reports are based on careful in
vestigation among the factories and the
laboring men. They set forth that the
candidate has done q great work for
himself and his party by the tour ne
has made in Ohio. The effect Of the
Taft SDecchaS.T said SIr. NOrys TO-DAY
cannot well be Oyerestimated.
The labOrlng men have heard his
every word and have shown that they
wanted 10 get his answer to the charges
Of hostility to labor whf-n have been
made against him by me Democrats.
Now that they have heard him they are
swinging 20 his cause IT. an even greater
percentage than / had dared hope This
afternoon the candidate goes into West
Virginia, a State which has suffered
more. perhaps, than any other from
faCtiona' lsm and the jealousies that
have avisin as a result of the Scherr-
Swisher contest for the gCvernOrship.
Is Eagerly Awaited.
That his speech IN Wheeling viii be
heard with the greatest interest Of only
by the people OF Wheeling, but also by
Republicans from all over the State, is
the natural sequel 10 the condition OF
affairs in the party.
MingO was the only exception TO the
general chorus of Republican cheers
which greeted Taft today. At MIngC

not being impressed or kept still by ary
Republican ora sOrs which had talked 90
