as to the outlook for President Tafts
re- nomination and reelection in 1912.

President Taft will have something
more than a solid delegation from
West Virginia next year. He will have
az a supplementary proposition a wave
Of enthusiasm among the solid business
men Of the state. some Of them Demo
Gratis, and while we gave President
Taft not only solid delegation in thu
convention last time, but a big plural
ity for presidential electors. we Will
Increase that majority next year fay

What is more the campaign in West
Virginia for President TAFT will not
cost him a single postage stamp. He
need not worry about West Virginia.
The Post expresses the opinion that

ican party SO far as it antagonizes
the outlook for President Tafts re
nomination and reelection, seems 10 be
confined to the insurgent leaders them
selves. II might have made the state
ment stronger. for there are lnsurgent
leaders who have indicated. that they
have no intention of carrying on war
against the re- nomination of President
Taft.
