Charles p. Taft Of Cincinnati, accom-
panied by Mrs. Taft. and their, daugh-
ter. Louise, arrived in Washington yes
terday and will be the guests Of the
President and Mrs. Taft until Tuesdar

ical matters with the President, and
some of the party leaders in Washing

Ohio Republicans almost daily, in an
effort 10 bring about harmony in Ohio
Now that the Presidents closest politi-
cal advisers realize that he will be the
leader of his party two years hence, and
a candidate for reelection, the men who

slstance in planning for the campaign
of 1872
IN this movement, two years ago,
Charles P. Taft was very important

TAFT NOT WILLING
TO DICTATE MOVE
Sees No Necessity for Chang
ing National Chairman.

Although Republican leaders in and cut
Of Congress have been urging President
Taft to take steps 20 reorganize the Re
publican National Committee, it was said
yesterday that Mr.. Taft is opposed 70
such action. The President his friends
say, does not care 10 be put in the posi-
don of debating to the national commit
tee.
The talk Of Representative John W
Weeks, of Massachusetts, as a successor
10 ex-Gov- John T. Hill, OF Maine. who
is acting chairman, did not originate at
the White House, according to those who
have seen Mr.. Taft recently.
The suggestion OF Mr.. Weeks as chair
man. to be elected at special meeting
Of the committee in the near future, did
not strike a responsive chord at the
White House The President Is not con-
WINGED that there is any necessity OF
calling a special meeting OF the commit
tee.
AS far Is can be learned the proposal
that the national committee should be
called in special session originated with
persons who fear, or profess 20 fear,
that formidable opposition viii develop
to the denomination Of President Taft
Since they regard the Presidents nomi-
nation as assured. some OF his friends
agree with him that activity on the part
of the national committee is superhnous.
About the only advantage that might
accrue to the President through an ac-
tive committee would be an advertise
ment' of the adminstrauon- IL is well
known in Washington that this admins
tration does not loot its Own horn The
President himself does not Ike the idea
of shouting what he has done or intends
to do.
1t is believed here that some sort OF
an unofficial organization viii be formed
to prepare the way for 1872 Plans for it
are under consideration and the Presi-
dent is interested.
