the country. The present trip, how
ever, has given him an opportunity to
get more Information first hand and
he has taken advantage of it at every
turn. In every state that Mr.. Taft has
visited 80 far most of the party lead
ers have boarded his private car.
Some of them have escaped the pres

greeting, but few of them have got

chief executive, sits close to him on

Mr. Hilles has nothing to do at all
but talk politics. When he gets back
to Washington, he expects to know a
lot more about what the country
thinks Of Mr.. Taft than he knows
now and he may be able to make an
accurate forecast of how the republi-
can state delegations will line up in
the 1912 convention.
Republican national committeeman,
state chairmen and other leaders, are
reporting in detail to the presidents
secretary and the resulting informa-

him. Personally Mr.. Hilles has
never sanctioned talk among con-
gressional leaders of the party in
