The Taft men pulled OIL d neat oA0
in the national committee when they
provided that all delegates, even in di-
rect urinary states, must be elected and
instructed by congressional districts.
This viii give the president delegates
ir California, Kansas, Minnesota, Wis
consin ana Michigan which he might
nave lost in statewide primaries.
Hurrying to trains to bear them
home, the national party managers,
with few exceptions, wear smiles of
satisfaction and predict that Mr.. Taft
will pe the next nominee of his party
and will be elected and is stronger to-
day than ever.
Even Committeeman Ward of New
York who developed an uncanny al
legged warmth for Roosevelt today,
said: 1T leaves the Republican party
in a splendid position. Our delegation
will be pledged to no one, as We have
gone on record as favoring no one,
and who ever gets our delegation will
have to seek it. I am satisfied. VIII
Mr.. Taft be renominated? Why,
should say it looks that way
Victor Rosewater, the Nebraska Ma
tional committeeman, newspaperman
and insurgent. says today: 4 do not
know what the newspaper men have
done to me, but I hear some of them
have quoted me as lukewarm on the
subject Of the denomination of Presi-
dent Taft. Nothing could be further
from the truth. I favor the renomi-
nation of President Taft. I have not
the slightest doubt that he will be re
nominated. regard him as the
strongest candidate we could name
and am sure that the Taft sentiment
in Nebraska is stronger today than
ever"

Mr.. Taft will carry the nation by
larger majority than could any other
Republican. His record speaks for it
self. 1t is one to appeal to the sober
second thought of all Americans, re-
gardless of party affiliations. with the
POSSIBLE exception of the extreme free
traders. Unless something wholly IN
