Cincinnati, July 26.--As the calm before the storm was the Sabbath observance of William H. Taft today in the home of his brother, Charles. The presidential can didate will work at the trade of politics tomorrow, attending the meeting of the state central committee, meeting infor- mally the members of the notification committee, lending his aid to the local arrangements committee and placing himself generally at the disposal of na- tional and state leaders. On Tuesday he will deliver his speech of acceptance and then surrender himself to the vagaries of a riot of political enthusiasm.
 With Mrs. Charles P. Taft and her sis ter, Miss Sinton, the candidate attended the morning services at Christ Episcopal church. While there was no reference, inferential or otherwise, to the presence of the candidate, the preacher, the Rev. w. B. Poole sought to make it em- phatic that power for good and not con triton, confession or even charity, was the influence which the Christian church should exert among men.
 MT. Taft joined heartily in the service and at it's conclusion was made the cen ter of an admiring group of acquantan- ces and friends, many of whom he greet ed by their first names and with all of whom he shook hands. With Mrs. Taft and Miss Sinton he walked half dozen blocks down North street. viewing the decorations, which even then were being placed. He retraced his steps to the home of his brother, remained there un- til late in the afternoon. Then he paid visit to the bedside of former State Senator John W. Heron, father of Mrs. Tafs, who nas been i'll for some time In the evening Arthur I. Vorys spent some time at the Taft residence in consultation with his chief.
 Senator Warner of Missouri, chairman of the notification committee, reached here today but did not present himself to MT Taft, remarlxing facetiously that he was in fear that MT. Taft had al- ready gained suspicion Of the fact of his nomination. With Senttpr Warner on lis arrival was Judge Charles Nagle, na- t!onal committeeman from Missouri. Gen. E elk Agnus of Baltimore, Maryland 8 member of the notification committee, WAS one of the arrivals today. s. O. Bigney of Boston, who takes the place of SCI atcr Murray Crane on the commit tee, reg ched the city with William F. Harrington, the New Hampshire member.
 Eraln Fl. Hitchcock, who Is expected tomorrow, will make a report to the can didste OF conditions in the west as he found them during his recent visit to that region. Elmer Dover, secretary of the naticnal committee, will reach the city tomorrow.
 Importance is attached to the meeting tomorrow of the Ohio state central com mittee, to be attended by MT. Taft, as the meeting Is declared to be intended to generate common understanding, single ness of purpose and enthusiasm, which, carried away by the various members, will permeate all parts of the state.
 There seems little left for the local notification arrangement committee to do, as every part of Tuesdays programme seems to have been perfected. Although the customary Sabbath cessation of busi- ness prevailed in the down town streets today. there was decided activity in carrying out the scheme of decorations which is to give the city a holiday ap pearance. Long lines of pointed vari- colored streamers were strung along trol ley poles, flags were placed out of win dows and streamers and bunting festoon ed buildings.
