TAFT MANAGERS WILL UTILIZE
 LIFE MOTION
The Secretary's Trip Around the World For Which the People Paid, To Be Shown at Dime Shows.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 1e.-
 The latest feature of the Taft cam
 paigns as has been indicated in the
 press dispatches is moving pictures of the War minister. Not being satis-
 fled with the progress of the Secre- tary's campaign through trips around
 the world to the Philippines and with
 junkets over the country at the ex- pense of the government, the paid
 managers of his boom propose to put
 Mir. Taft on exhibition in all of the
 nickleodeums. This is to be done by
 means of series of moving pictures
 of the Secretary.
 As ridiculous as this may seem, the
 manager of large syndicate ot nick
 leodums went to the white house one
 day last week at the suggestion of
 some of Secretary Taft's bright ad-
 yertising managers, to ask the presi-
 dent for his consent to add this fea-
 ture to the Taft show. Of course. the
 Taft managers would not think of in
 troducing this innovation into their
 campaign without the consent of the
 president. It is reported that the
 new method of advertising Secretary
 Taft as great statesman seems to
 have appealed to the president. He is said to have exclaimed: Good, the
 idea is splendid one if it is worked
 out in the right way"
 There is only one objection to it from the point of view taken by some of Secretary Taft's salaried admirers, that is, the nickleodeum show can not be conducted at the expense of the government. In Secretary Taft's trip around the world to the Philip pines and to Cuba, Uncle Sam paid all the bills. The government, it is said. pays the expenses of taking the entire Taft party on these trips. Even on Secretary Taft's trip in this coun- try, on which he made political ad- dresses. the government foots the bills. It will be noted in the account of his trips to the northwest that the Secretary visited certain forts and government works. He die tlle sYme on his trip to Oklahupsa and to the Southwest, where ne ma ie a number of political addresses in the interest of his candidacy. The visiting of the forts makes the trips official in their character and on that account the gov ernment is called on to foot the bill.
 Since Secretary Taft made the for maj announcement of his candidacy for T, ,& E. spent much more than one third of his time at the department. A few Of his trips have been on private bus mess, but most of them at the expense f of the government on alleged official errands. An illustration of this one of his trips to Minnesota. Secretary Taft spent thirty minutes at Fort witnessing a dress parade and the rest of the time was taken up by speeches and receptions. Secretary Taft went at such a rapid pace that he broke down under the strain Of rushing from one public reception to another and from one public meeting to another.
 Naturally the work of the war de partment ias been neglected by Sec retary Taft He has been too busy at tending to his campaign to pay much attention to his real official duties. Much of his work has been shifted to the shoulders of his subordinates in the department, but there are some things which it was required by law that the Secretary should do. One of these was the filing of his annul re- yened. This the secretary failed to do and while he was going around the country preaching the enforcement of law against private citizens, he as the head of one of, the great departments, was disobeying the law in the dis charge of his official duties.
 Speaking of the nickle-odeum of the Taft campaign it would be unfortunate if the photography would take a pic tme of the secretary when someone happened to mention the name ot Sen ator Foraker There is a popular i'm Dession that the secretary never loses his temper. But according to current reports, which have been drifting around the capitol during the past week the suggestion of compromise with Senator Foraker in order to bring about peace in Ohio, invariably Droyokes a storm of wrath in the of ice of the secretary of war. Accord ng to the statements of an Ohie man, who made this suggestion to the sec -etary of war, this week. the secretary srose from his seat and striking his iesk with ais huge fist, exclaimed in ! tower of rage
 No sir. no compromise Tor me that takes Senator Foaker into considera- ion. There can be no peace between ne and Senator Foraker in Ohio or . my other place. One of us must be eliminated and think it will be Sen ltor Foraker,"
 This attitude of Secretary Taft was { ] revelation to those who have been iuietly advised of the conversation, which it Is alleged took place between he Secretary and an Ohio politician. t was supposed that the president \ vas making war upon Secretary of War Taft in Oaio. The general ac- 'epfed view of the situation up to this week was that the president was in listing upon the non-compromise pol cy of the Taft managers. but accord ng to the latest advlces this is nor rue
 This new view of the attitude oE . 'ecretary Taft in Ohio is indirectly { confirmed by the claims of the friends
