the Roosevelt candidate for governor of
New York In 1910 last nigh. declared
himself FOR President Taft and said
that while he remained the sincere
friend OF Mr.. Roosevelt. he could not

Mr.. Stimson entered President Taft's
cabinet last year. after consultation
with MIR. Roosevelt. and with the dis
tinct understanding OF the president
that he would be bound in no way to
take part In the political activities OF
the administration. In speech before
the Taft club. of Illinois. tonight, he
declared his belief that President Taft's
administration represented the highest
expression OF progressive republican
policy.
II am here tonight to speak for the
denomination of President Taft" said
Mr.. Stimson. Il am now and always
have been Il progressive.
II am for MIR. Taft because i believe
he has faithfully carried out the pro-
gressive faith OF the republican party
that his administration stands for or
derby. permanent progress in our ma
tional government, and that to refuse
him the nomination on the assertions
that have been made against him would
be blow to that progress and would
put premium upon hasty and un-
founded criticism"
