Give Taft Warm Reception
By JAMES HAY, JR.

CUMBERLAND, Md. Oct. OWL
liam Howard Taft spoke in Maryland
and West Virginia today, and at Mar
tinsburg. W. Va He declared that
West Virginia is as surely Republican
as Pennsylvania.
When he reached here he was taken in
an automobile 10 the opera house, which
was crowded Before entering the
building he had to make short speech
for the benefit of the thousands who
could not get in In this place. as in
Baltimore last night. he was given an
ovation. which showed that Maryland
Is full of Republicans.
The candidate got in'o Marunsburg an
hour late, because Of a hot box on the
tender of the engine. and he was late IN
arriving here. His speech at Martins
burg was short, and dealt with the pros
perity issue and the unfitness of Bryan
10 conduct the affairs and policies OF
the Government
While there are some political prophets
who put Maryland in the doubtful col
umn, there is no. doubt on the Taft
train that the State Will be Republican
by a majority ranging from 10000 10

that he is sure Of carrying Maryland

picture and knocking a hole in the por-
trait itself. For the next few minutes
