TAFT STICKS TO GUNS
Presidents Attitude Toward Re.
nomination Unchanged.
PARTYS WISHES HIS GUIDE
Story That He Would Step Aside
Not Considered Worthy of
Denial-Plans for Trip.

Beverly. Mass. Sept. 16-The publica-
ton of a story in certain newspapers
Yesterday afternoon and this morning
purporting to come from Beverly and
announcing that President Taft had de-
cided to step aside as n Presidential can
diGate in 1912 TO make way for Theo-
dore Roosevelt brought many inquiries
to the summer capital to-day. For a
time an official denial was considered.
but it was decided not to dignity the
story. which is reported to be without
any foundation whatever with state
ment.
1t can be stated that there has been
no change in President Tafts attitude
toward a second term since he told a
number of friends q few months ago that
he would accept a second nomination If
his party desired to tender it to him and
IL that portion of the American people
represented by his party seemed to want
him.
The President 1t is said. is not con-
sidering his chances for second term
one way or the other at this time. From
the first he has said that he would de-
vote himself to carrying out as nearly
as possible the pledges of the platform
Oh which he was elected for a four-year
tenn. Mr.. Taft 1t is pointed out, does
not know how to play politics, and he
has been quoted as saying that he would
not do so if he could. That he has often
in his speeches referred to the fact that
he has only the remainder of his present
term to serve means, it is said here, that
Nh. Taft does not feel that he can
nominate himself and that he will not
make a political bid for the nomination.
If at the end of mis- term, his party feels
he has been true TO his trust and has
carried out its pledges in so far as he
possibly could, it no doubt would be very
gratifying to the. President to have his
administration Endorsed. That, he feels.

eide, not himself

10 whether the Acting Mayor might not
have proceeded without a word to Mr..
Baker by simply sending his investiga-
tors before a grand jury with their evil
dence.
On this point, though. Mr.. Mitchell ex
planned that he did not in any way want
TO interfere with the regular work OF
another department and that the full
responsibility in the matter was on the
shoulders of the Police Commissioner.
If the prospective suppression of the
gambling and disorderly places should
come before a grand jury. Mr.. Mitchels
investigators would undoubtedly be
summoned. and it is possible that the

TO the grand jury witness stand to put
into evidence the reports they made to
him.

night, and the word had gone through
