TAFT REGRETS CRITICISM
Unfair Interpretation is Placed on His
Brothers Withdrawal.
NO FORMAL STATEMENT MADE
Action Was in Interest of Party HRr-
mony Because Deadlock Would
Have Had Bad Effect on
Party Organization. b.

AUGUSTA, Ca, Jan. 6-Regret is leH
by the president-elect at what both he and
his friends regard as the unfair interpreta-
tons and explanations being printed regard
ing the withdrawal from the Ohio sena-
torial contest of Charles T. Taft.
, The president-elect contemplates no
statement for publication regarding tho
matter, but In discussing It with friends
has not been uncertain In giving an idea
of his feelings on the subject. There
seems to be nothing further to be said by
Charles p. Taft, even though the reason
he assigned for getting out of the race
has since been made the subject of ad-
verse comment. He is thus left, in the
eyes of his friends, In a false light and II
is this which the president-elect feels
keenly. In this connection 1t is explained
that the withdrawal was not made at the
instance OF William H.. Taft, neither on
the suggestion OF Frank II. Hitchcock nor
Of Wade H. Ellis as has been since printed.
That Charles p. Taft eliminated himself
from the contest entirely in the interest
of party harmony and on his own initiative
is remarked with vigor. By remaining in
the fight It is asserted he could have made
possible the election of a dark horse" at
least. But that he recognized that the re-
suit of such a course would work havoc
in the republican party in the state and
chose rather to take himself out OF the race
is regarded by his friends as exhibiting a
high degree OF loyalty and was exactly
what he called it, a move entirely in the
interest of party harmony.
Little Rock. Ark. was today added to
the list OF southern cities which will claim
the attention of Mr.. Taft, when as presi-
dent he makes his promised tour OF the
south. This trip he expects will be made
next fall. A formal invitation from Little
Rock was presented to Mr.. Taft by Chair
man Tucker of the state central committee
OF Arkansas and II. L. Remmell, a prom
inent republican OF Little Rock.
Charleston, s. c., is anxious that nv.
Taft play golf in that city January %
when he goes there to sail for Panama on
the 25th. He will endeavor to arrive there
on Saturday afternoon.
Fifteen girl students of the Tubman
High school Of Augusta obtained a prom
Use from Mr.. Taft as the result OF a call
at the Terrell cottage today for a visit to
the school before he leaves the city.
