port of Mr. Taft for President. He
did not 'play both ends against the

declared for William Howard Taft.
We feel that for such stand, in the
face Of opposition, both from with
out and from within, that he is fair
ly entitled to substantial political
reward. Mr.. Johnson IS qualified to
fill any position that may be given
him by the administration. He is an

publican and one Of the acknowledge

his time and influence In the recent
