+ While things look bright for Mr.
Taft's chances it cannot be said that
he is a general fayorite IN Maryland.
Among prominent" colored men, who
are politicians, there Is much anti
pathy to the president because of his
southern policy to the race: In a
primary the force of these men s
opposition would be felt, but in a
contest in which the bosses could
dictate everything there would not
be much chance Of having their con-
victions prevail by selecting dele
gates opposed to the denomination of
the president. IaFollette and the
progressives have, no organization in
Maryland, oE' prominent sponsors,
however. &Ei.

or" of Internal Revenue means his re-
| tirement as the state, chairman and
the appointment of a man Acceptable
to the Jacksons, who are the most
llDeral contributors to the party cof-
fers. 1t also means that Mr.. Colds
borough, who is regarded as being
very close to them politically and
personally, will not seek to build I'D
an organization unfriendly to Them
in other words, it means that the in,
fluence Of Collector Stone will be
some what diminished
