Send Message to Congress.

Washington, July 23.-President Taft
has indicated to several western sena-
tors, who were active opponents Of
Canadian reciprocity. that he would
favor a repeal Of the act.
Some Of those with whom the presi-
dent has talked think he may send a
message to congress on the subject or
will state his position in his speech Of
acceptance when a committee OF the
Chicago convention notifies him on
Aug. l OF his nomination. Senate
leaders say that so far the president
has had no direct communication with
the finance committee on the subject
nor sent any communications to the
committee saying he favors repeal OF
the law.
Principle to Stand.
Mr.. Taft will not withdraw his sup
port of Canadian reciprocity aus pr.n-
ciple. it is understood, but will take the
position that the United States should
not continue an offer that Canada re-
fuses to accept. The reciprocity law
continues in effect in the United States
notwithstanding Canadas refusal to
endorse 1t.

Will Point TO Differences in Republican
and Democratic Platforms.
Washington, July 23.-President
Taft yesterday began preparation of
his speech accepting the presidential
nomination Of the republican party.
Shut up in his study in the White
House. with all engagements Cancelled.
the president surrounded himself with
data that will be used in what repub-
lican leaders expect will be his most
important contribution to the cam
paign. Altho he got but little way
along toward a complete speech, 1t was
said last night that his main argu-
mert for reelection to the commit
tee of notification would be based on
the achievements of his administration
and upon the tariff.
Republican leaders believe that the
president will point the differences be-
tween the republican and democratic
platforms. especially with respect to a
tariff plank. They are hopeful that
the presidents argument for a protec-
tive system will be helpful in the came
paign. and there is little doubt that the
speech will be introduced in congress
later and will be used as q document
by the national committee. In his rec
ord Of achievements Mr.. Taft is ex-
pected to refer to the administra tion's
legislative activities and the trust
prosecutions it has instituted and
brought to a successful conclusion.

Oyster Bay. N. r. July 23.-For four
hours yesterday Colonel Roosevelt and
William Finn. OF Pittsburgh. talked
over the Pennsylvania tangle In the
formation OF the new party. When it
was all over II was apparently just ~
much OF tanRle as ever. It was ans
nounced that the questions involved
have been left open until after the CHI
cago convention. Mr.. Finn pronounced
1t the most complicated situation he
ever had anything to do with. which
was without n parallel In American
politics.
Colonel Roosevelt let 1t go with tho
statement that he did not want to bo
a dictator
Finn Docs Good Days Work.
The impression gathered from tho
utterances OF the ex-president and his
Pittsburgh leader. was that Mr.. Finn
had done good days work for his
cause, and that Colonel Roosevelt was
more inclined to look at things from
his point OF view. There was nothing
to show that Mr.. Finn had definitely
carried his point, but II is believed no
succeeded in convincing the colonel
that his arguments were well
grounded.
Colonel Roosevelt said Ex- Governor
Garv1n OF Rhode Island. and John
Doyle OF Springfield, ILL.,. had visited
him.
Mr.. Doyle's mission was to urge the
colonel to insist upon a complete in
dependent ticket In Illinois, in oppo.
sition to the state ticket headed by
Governor Deneen. who today ans
pounced that he would support Presa-
dent Taft.
"Mr. Deneen proposed not to take
either side" said Colonel Roosevelt.
Now that he has made his position
clear I may as we'll tell you that lass
week I sent word to my people oue
