castons has written to TAFT expressing
emphatic approval OF certain OF his Of

IN isl2
From high source il was learned
definitely to-day. however that Col.
Roosevelt has in no way iatimated his
attitude on the subject.
Rooseveit's friends even those OF the
most radical rogressives~-have long
been acquainted with Coionei's deter
nination to support the republican
nominee for president in 1919 Since
President Taft is regarded as being
the foremost candidate for thu norni-
nation and according To the belief OF
his friends. the uudouhted selection.
ti?s attitude of Roosevelt has been
developed by some or them into a
promise Of support for the nomina -
ton. Roosevelt's insureent friends
here admitted to-day that the Colonel
should remain regular 20 the ex-
tent OF supporting the candidate Sc
lected by the republican convention.
They say this has always been his
policy.
The anti-Taft branch OF the party,
represented by the Progressive Re-
publican League. however, denies that
Taft's friends are in the slightest
degree justified in the assumption
that Roosevelt will support Taft be-
fore the convention. They take no
exception TO the statement that the
Colonel will be for the party nomi-
nee.
statement that Secretary of the
Navy Never brought to Taft from
Oyster Bay DEFINITE assurance that
Roosevelt would support Taft for the
nomination was officially denied. II
is asserted on the highest authority
that Meyer brought no such mes
sage. He did bring warm personal
greeting. however
The anti-Taft men claim that the
fight will be in the convention and
that they have no idea that Roose
welt would. be willing to support a
third party nominee under any cir
cumstances.
The Taft organiza ton. on the other
hand. expresses the belief that MS
denomination Is an absolutely GER
tainty and on that hypothesis claim
the support of Roosevelt.
