one OF the first in the country TO take
the name or Taft. though. at the time
OF it's organization no one knew who
the party's choice for the presidency
would be. The club pinned It's faith
10 Taft and became "a prominent fac
tor In the local campaign.
A feature of the toasts was Judge
Murfin's eloquent appreciation OF the
new president, In which he reviewed
briefly. Taft's public career laying
particular stress on his record as
Judge
The only thing mentioned against
Mr. Taft in the campaign last fall was
