TAFT TO KEEP CLEAR
OF STATE POLITICS
Presidents Hands Full Enough
With Congress and
Pledges.

BEVERLY, Mass.-President Taft
has stated with striking emphasis the
position he is taking on Republican
state platforms and candidates. The
President does not think he should be
called upon to write the party decla-
rations in the different common
wealths or to. name men for any of
the elective offices. A President, it
was intimated, has a pretty big Job
on his hands when he undertakes to
fulfill all the pledges in the National
platform and to bring Congress around
to the same way Of thinking.
AS to planks in state platforms in
dorsing the administration, the Presi-
dent feels that unless they can be
written upon what he has said and
done since taking Office nothing he
could add in personal way would
help matters.
The Ohio conferences have served
to bring out the Presidents attitude.
He was Informed of the general tenor
OF the platform to be adopted at the
Columbus convention the latter part
OF this month, but he did not 60 into
details OF planks.
Under no circumstances would the
President express an opinion as to
candidates. The fight this fall in
Ohio, 1t is genenarry acknowledged,
will be hard one.

CONGRESS is LIKELY

Representation Of Some States

apportionment.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The new

tical and sectional controversy of
vital interest to the people. Based
upon the population it represents,
congress will have to determine
whether 1t shall be numerically en-.
larged and made more unwieldy than
1t now is, or whether the aggregate of
persons entitled to a member of con-
gress shall be SO curtailed.
Some states, If the latter plan is
adopted. will lose representation in
congress through diminution of
population during the last ten years.
while others are certain of an in.
crease due to growth in the number
Of their inhabitants. The present ra-
Ito of apportionment is one member
for every $4,000 inhabitants; the
present house consists OF 3s1 mem.
bers.
II congress were to adopt for the
present house the ratio of apportion-
ment observed in 1900, the house of
representatives would be increased by
% members. This would bring the
total membership up to 46O. 1t is not
expected. however. that this ratio Will
be maintained.
1t is expected that when the an
portionment bin is considered the
number of the members OF the house
will be fixed at one for every 225 900.
This would mean that the house
would remain practically at its pres
ent figure.
