President Must Decide.

President Taft will have it put UP
sauarely to him as to both places. Whether
he wants to or not, he will be compelled
to give the word as to who is to be the
vice presidential nominee, and likewise he
will name the mnn who is to handle his
fight for another term in the White
House.
If a progressive is nominated for Sec
ond place on the ticket. as now seems to
be the belief, President Taft will select
the best man he can among his. &C

He has done clever political work far
having aided materially in bringing abou,
the situation that means the renomina-

and ability of high order not only as
secretary but in the game of politics.
Mr.. Hitchcock is not spoken of as fre.
quently as heretofore, because of re-
peated statements he has made to friends
that he does not want to manage another
campaign and that he earnestly wishes
to get out of politics. He has practically
turna1 the entire game of patronage over
to Mr.. Billes and gives his time TO the
Post Office Department. But for the
fact that the President has stated tina,
he does not want to change secretaries

BALTIMORE, Nd, September State
Senator Arthur Pue German. jr.. demo-
crat, son Of the late United States Sen
ator A. p. German, and Phillips Lee
Goldsborough, republican, collector of in
ternal revenue for this district. were
nominated for governor by their re-
spective party conventions here today.
German was the successful democratic
candidate in the state primary last month,
winning over State Senator Blair Lee
by one vote. Goldsborough was unop-
posed.
Today's conventions were simply a
necessary formality to comply with the
primary election law. Each Of the TWEEN
ty-four counties and Baltimore city were
represented by delegates apportioned ac-
cording to population. Consequently,
while German received a popular ma
jority of 13,4l4 for the entire state he
only carried a sufficient number OF coun-
ties to give him a majority OF one vote
in convention.

May Relegate Sherman.

Much will depend, it became known to-
day. on the nomination of a vice presi-
Dental candidate along with Mr.. Taft.
While thousands of insurgents will cut
the republican ticket and vote the demo-
cratic If the democrats name a progress
sve as their candidate, it is generally
believed that the rank and file of the
faction. always republican in politics,
will support Taft and continue their agl-
tation within the ranks of the party.
To keep the insurgents in line as far as
possible the disposition of the republican
leaders, when Taft is nominated, will be
TO concede some important post to the in
surgents TO aid in obtaining their sup
port. Whether this is to be the vice presi-
dency or the chairmanship of the national
committee remains to be determined from
the situation at that time. If Vice Presi-
den Sherman is again to go on the ticket
with Mr.. Taft, there will be many advo-
Gates of giving the craftsmanship TO a
progressive republican. but the feeling
now is that the regulars would prefer to
retain control of the party organization
and THE craftsmanship and let the vice
presidency go to a progressive who is not
TOO radical in his tendencies. This would
mean. II persisted in. the elimination OF
Sunny jim Sherman next year, largely
through force of circumstances.

Early to Decide.

Five men are under consideration by
intimate friends of President Taft-fnen
by whose advice he will be partly GUIDED

These are Charles d. Hilles. secretary

Frank VI. Hitchcock. Postmaster Cen

It is candidly admitted that it is en-

will depend upon the lineup after the

Mr.. Gregory's speech occupied nearly

subsequent months Of his married life.
Appealing TO the religious and moral
sense Of the jury, gathered from the
