TAFT |NDORSED
BY ROOSEVELT
PRESIDENT Is ASSURED OF SUP.
PORT OF HIS PREDECESSOR
FOR SECOND TERM.
u 10 Said That Colonel RooseveIt's
Decision Was Brought About ~
Result Of Cordial Greeting Be-
tween Two Men In Baltimore.

Washington.-President Taft, in his
candidacy for the presidential nomina-
ton for 1912, will receive the unquali-
fed Endorsement of former President
Roosevelt. which will be uttered Just
as cordially as 1t vas prior to the
campaign OF 1908. This il the best
political news Mr.. Taft has received
in many months. and 1t comes to him
In a manner that leaves no doubt as
to its authenticity.
The information that Colonel Roose-
velt under no circumstances will al.
low his W name to be presented to
the Republican national convention,
was conveyed to the White House sew
eral days ago. but 1t did not become
known until Tuesday night 1t is said
that Mr.. Roosevelt's decision was
brought about partly as the result Of
! cordial greeting between the two
men at Cardinal Gibbons jubilee in
Baltimore.
Whether the Roosevelt approval of
Mr.. Taft's candidacy will go far
enough to take the former president
Into the campaign as an active speak
or Ia problematical, but that the force
Of his personality will be with the
president is assured. This fact Is not
expected to prove pleasing to Repub-
licans who have made no secret Of
their desire to bring Colonel Roose-
welt forward as q formidable rival for
the 1912 nomination.
