IN REGARD TO 1912.
Stirson May Be Running Mate OF
Taft-Other Possibilities.

Washington, May 24.-One of the
most interesting bits of political Cos
sin Washington has heard in a long
while was current here today to the
effect that the entrance of Henry l..
lStimson of New York, into Presi-
dent Taft's cabinet may mean that
he VIII be Mr.. Taft's running mate
in the campaign Of 1912.
Mr. Taft. il is said, fully expects
to he renominated and little cUnsid-
Grafton is given here to reports &c
the contrary. The friends and adj
visors of the President in casting
about for man to head the ticket
with him are said to look with much
favor upon Mr.. Stimson, the new
secretary of war. They appear to be
particularly anxious to get a strong
man from the progressive element OF
the ticket and prefer one from piv-
otal state like New York.
There are plenty of other vice pres
idential possibilities being discussed
by political leaders in touch with the
White House, including Senator Cum
mings of Iowa, and Senator Borah
OF Idaho. Many OF the President s
friends do not conceal their desire
that there should be a progressive
Republican on the ticket with him.
AT this time there seems to be little
chance. however. that any of the pro-
grcssive leaders in the Senate will be
available as Vice Presidential candi
Ilates. President Tafts friends, it IS
said. think that Mr.. Stimson. both
geographically and personally, would
prove a strong addition to the ticket.
The Roosevelt influence behind Mr.
Stimson in tie New York guberna-
torial campaign last fall undoubtedly
is one of the elements being consid-
{ rcd at this time
