Reports from the hospital that the
bulletins from the mayors bedside
were masking the whole truth were
widely current this afternoon and
evening, with considerable basis for
oredence beneath them.
The assertion was credited 10 Robert

even discuss them. The absence or
the customary noon bulletin was ex-
planned by the fact that the mayor was
sleeping at the time and that II had
not been thought worth while to risk
waking him to take his pulse
There remains the fact that there
has arisen a consciousness among
those in touch with both the public and

tins are vigorously confined 20 the
stated symptoms, and that at no time
have they Ventured an assertion that
the mayor is out of danger or any def

stories that there might be a fight in
the convention to repudiate the action
of the state committee.
The vice president also talked with
the President regarding the con-
gressional campaign He wants the
fight 10 be waged along the old lines.
A straight-Out Republican fight on
the Republican platform and the rec
ord OF the party, including the tariff,
he put il.
At Mr.. Sherman's solicitation, Presi-
dent Taft agreed 10 point the way in
the campaign by writing letter which
IS TO be a part OF the campaign text
book OF the Republican committee.

gents in the recent primaries, also saw

Mr. Sherman urged the President 10

"On the ground that Il is the best
tariff bill ever enacted@ was suS-
gested by an interviewer.
Stability the Test
Il have never said it was the best
tariff bill ever passed" replied Mr..
sherman. stability is the real test
OF a tariff act. II the Payne law
stands longer than the Dingley law
stood. then il Will have proved itself
a better law. II II does not stand as
long. then IL won't be as good a law.
With regard 20 the New York situa-
ton. especially the action Of the state
