statute books by Congress. We
believe he is the strongest man
mentioned for the Republican
nomination and we shall stand
by him when nominated. He is
a big broad, fair minded man.
We like him."
Similar sentiments were ex-
pressed by many others during
the trip. The Presidents popu.
laritY in the West has not waned
and many of the laboring men
expressed the belief that Mr..
Tdft's nomination would assure
a continuance of the Presidents
policies and his friendly spirit
toward them.
On the train along the line of
route the word was flashed by
telegraph operators that the
Secretary of war was coming.
AS a result of this, at many of
the stops crowds were outside to
shake his hand, hear his voice
and see his expansive smile.
In Chicago a delegation of
prominent colored men waited
upon him, one of them an alter
nate to the Chicago convention
from the first Illinois district, IN
structed in his favor. They
greeted him decidedly pleasant
ly and promised their hearty
support for both the nomination
and election.
In Ohio Gov. Harris stated
that Secretary Taft as the nomi-
nee there would be no doubt of
the Republican party carrying
the state next November that
the stories of factional differ
ences put out in the East had
been greatly exaggerated; that
the opposition led by Senator
Foraker had not been left with
the slightest ground to stand on
and that a united party in the
state led by Mr.. Taft would be
sure to roll up the largest maj
jorIty in the history of the state.
That Secretary Taft is strong
ly backed by the temperance
and church elements in the Mid
die West is evidenced by the re-
ception and banquet rendered
him by the united church organ
nations at the Auditorium in
Chicago. Several thousands of
people attended this and another
mammoth reception to the gener
al public the following day at
the Hamilton club.
During his entire stay in
Chicago many political confer
ences were held, but no attempt
was made to do any work in the
state which Speaker Cannon is IA
favorlte son However, the
rOuslng welcome given Mr.. Taft
indicated the strength he will
have among the voters of the
state if nominated.
National CoWmitteeman Snyd-
err, of Nebraska, expressed the
opinion that with Secretary Taft
as the nominee there would be
no doubt of the Republican party
earring the state against Mr..
Bryan. He said Mr.. Taft would
be the strongest man the party
could nominate, that every state
west of the Mississippi was in
his favor and would send dele
gates to the convention instruct
ed for him. Practically the same
statement was vOuched for by
National Committeeman Hart,
of Iowa, who said every national
committeeman west of the Miss
issippi river would favor Mr..
Taft.

Result Of His Visit Through Ohio,

and Kentucky.
ENTHUSIASTIC WELCOME GIVEN

Washington, April %. Re.
ports from the middle west say
Secretary Taft is regarded as
certain of the Republican nomi-
nation for the presidency at the
hands of the Chicago convention
and of election in Novem Der, if
the welcome that was extended
to him during his recent tour in
Ohio, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska
and Kentucky is an indication.
Great receptions equaling
those given President and ban
quets at which were gathered
the leading men in political and
industrial life have been held
and the Secretary of War has
been repeatedly acclaimed as
sour next President"
In Chicago, the center of the
Cannon strength, he was kept
busy during two days and the
greater part of two nights in
making speeches and receiving
those who desired to shake his
hand. What is said TO have
been the largest banquet In the
history of the Hamilton Club,
one of the most influential or
CARNATIONS in the West, was
given in his honor. The Com
mercial Club, representative of
Chicago's business life, gave him
another great banquet at which
he urged that the country take
advantage of its trade Opportuni-
ties in the Far East. In Omaha
$500 voters of Nebraska, mem
bers of the Mckinley Club, at
tended a banquet and heard him
take Mr.. Bryan to task for his
part in the ratification of the
Paris treaty by which the Unit
ed States acquired the Philip
pines. At Council Bluffs promi-
nent men came from every Sec
ton of Iowa to hear him advo-
cate the development of the
country's waterways. AT every
one of these great banquets he
was given an ovation. At no
one of them was there a note of
antagonism.
The welcome was not only eX-
tended by the prominent men
and leaders of opinion in the
states through which he passed,
but by delegations of working
men. AT Columbus he was wait
ed upon by fifty representatives.
of the Brotherhood of Railway
Conductors. AT Chicago he was
invited to speak to 500 of them
at the Masonic Temple. AT
Omaha and Council Bluffs other
delegations of railway employees
meet him, shook hands and ask
ed questions regarding his atti-
tude toward union labor.
So favorable was the impress
sion the Secretary created among
these men that George Huntley,
chief of the Toledo division OF
the conductors, who made an adj
dress at the White House two
years ago when a committee of
twent.one railway men waited
upon the President to explain
their attitude toward railway
legislation, declared that the
sentiment was overwhelmingly
in favor of the Secretary's nOmi-
nation.
''There has been some criti-
cism of Mr.. Taft's injunction
decision, but that has been al
most entirely removed by a bet
ter understanding of his real at
ltude toward u.s." said Mr..
Huntley. "We know that he

James Kelley, after sojOurn

turn to Zeigler, Ills, where he
has several children employed

like losing an old land mark to
see him leave here as he was one
of the pioneer miners of this
place.

boast of longer service for one
company.
Rather strange indeed, that so
strong a prohibitionest as our
former townsman, w. L. Cor
don, Jr., now manager of Ziegler
mines in Illinois, would allow
that place to vote in favor of
retaining saloons. Some say
the reason was that the foreign
element among his miners would
not stay without intoxicants.
Better let them go and get a
temperance class of laborers.
