President Taft's declaration to District

three moro years to serve has attracted
attention moro because Of It's repetition
In varying forms on other occasions than
anything else. and not because 1t 10 sup
posed to eliminate him from renomina-
ton.
In no well informed circle close to the
White House 10 it believed that the Presi-
dent proposes to put himself out Of the
race in 1912, although it Is well under
stood that he is the most Indifferent man
to the glamour of executive power and
control who ever sat in the White House.
He accepted the nomination two years
ago because he hoped to accomplish GER
tain things that were pending and which
he felt the country demanded.
His whole heart il still set. 1t 10 de-
clared by Intimate friends. on the sue.
cessful accomplishment of these things.
His career SO far, 1t is pointed out to-
day, is one Of absolute unconcern as to
the political effects Of his sayings or
doings, but there is no evidence that he
expects to retire at the close Of his term.
The meaning OF his utterances il just
what he says-that he knows he has three
more years In which to do certain things
and there 10 no presumption on his part
that he will have more. All that Is Q
question for the future, pretty far-dis-
tant future at that, as politics go in this
