Judge Charles Nagel, a member Of the
western executive committee. speaking con-
cerning Judge Taft's trip and the part the
republican candidate will take in the cam
paign. said today:
1T cannot be denied that in every cam
paign the chance Of blunder is not to be
overlooked. A hasty speech may become a
serious IL not controlling factor. 1t is, of
course to be remembered that Mr.. Taft is
not really trained TO continued public
speaking, and, therefore, some apprehension
has been expressed that the campaign may
suffer through some inadvertent remark /
do not share that feeling.
I'm my judgment, Mr. Taft is incapable
of serious mistake. A man of clear mind
and stout heart is generally safe for his
fellowmen.
Il do not believe that any man has ever
been nominated Tor president whose plat
form is built so squarely upon his official
record and who has been at such pains be-
fore he was nominated to make clear his
position upon every question of public In
terest. II has generally been accepted that
men of long political records are mavaila-
BILE as candidates before conventions. The
party tribute to Mr.. Taft is accordingly
great"

In several respects this has been an ex-
