BASED SOLELY on
TAFT'S POLICIES
CummIns Tells Why He Opposes
the President.

Chicago, Sept. 4.-Summing up rea.
son for the opposition to the renom'
ination of President Taft, Senator A.
B. Cummins, in a signed statement
printed in the Record-Herald, says:
my general conclusion is, there
fore, that in every struggle which has
taken place since Mr.. Taft became
president upon vital things, his allies
and supporters have been the sena-
tors and members of the house who.
however honest they may be, are
known from one border of the coun-
try to the other as reactionaries or
standpatters and not progressives.
eff the voters of the Republican
party believe that the old leadership
should be perpetuated; they a find
no better nominee than Mr.. Taft. l
do not believe it ought to be contin-
ued, and therefore without any per-
sonal disparagement of the president
I am hoping that a progressive RE
publican will be nominated and elect
cd next year.
my opposition to the denomination
of Mr.. Taft is based solely upon his
attitude toward public questions ami
my conviction that the convention
ought to nominate a candidate for
president who will be strongest In
the election"
