CRANE TO MANAGE
TAFT'S CAMPAIGN,
IS LATEST RUMOR
Hilles May Be Titular Pilot,
With Massachusetts, Sem
ator Real Chief.

A report that Senator Murray Crane
OF Massachusetts, Is to be the manager
Of the Taft campaign for denomination,
and that the purpose is to capitalize
Senator Cranes hatred of Roosevelt
and his liking for the President, at
tracted considerable notice in Republi-
can political circles today.
The report Is understood to have this
much foundation, that Senator Crane
will be one of small group of men
who will really handle the campaign
for the denomination of Mr.. Taft. He
will not be the titular head Of the cam
paign, however. The Indications con-
dnue to be that Secretary Hilles will
be the active head.
Back OF Mr.. Hilles will stand Senator
Crane, Senator Penrose, Senator Smoot.
John Hays Hammond. Secretary Of the
Interior Walter Fisher, and several
others. The possibility Of Postmaster
General Hitchcock being selected to
manage the campaign is suggested.
Senator Penrose is favorable to him.
But while Mr.. Hitchcock will be con-
suited at times, in spite OF the recent
Government ownership declaration, II
Is understood he is not to be the man.

Why Kansas Is Rich
Explained in Munsey's

According to her own figures, Kansas
has the largest per capita wealth Of
any State in the Union," says the Feb
ruary Munsey, editorially.
What lies behind this spectacle? I?
Two simple things-the people OF Kan
sas are mentally alert as well as in
dustrioGs, and there is team work
among her public officials.
DR. s. ]. Crumbine started the swat
the-fy' campaign-a movement now ma
tion-wide. Though living a thousand
miles from the seacoast he was the
first health officer to work out the oys-
ter problem, establishing a rigid censor
ship and regulations that prevent the
shipment of the popular mollusk in un-
healthy receptacles. He Is one of the
fathers of the individual drinking cup
now obligatory in nearly every State.
mo less capable, and more widely
k.own, Is the secretary of the State
board Of agriculture, the rugged and
versatile +. B. Coburn, who once turned
down a United States Senatorship be-
cause he preferred to stick to his Job
OF helping farmers. 1t was he who in
troduced Kafir corn into the State, and
wrote the epic Of the helpful hen, which
you can read in a dozen languages. 1t
was he who backed the alfalfa as a
wealth-breeder when all Kansas was
discouraged about 1t, and was about to
abandon what Is now a rich crop.
And so, again, with the State conf
missioner Of education. who Is spread
ing the gospel of rural betterment that
Is keeping the Kansas boy on the farm.
Nor must II be forgotten that the chief
of all these men is a real governor of ali
the people, who has put public benefit
far above party prejudice.
''The big fact that stands out in this
cheering panorama OF Kansas pros
perity Is that good, clean, effective gov
ernment really pays'

Postmaster General Hitchcock is in
New York. having to come to attend
the Ohio dinner, but IL he is lending
any assistance In this fight to capture
the New York vote. this was another
fact which did not develop.
The President lunched today with
Adolph g. Ochs, publisher of the New

clothes and started for Ohio.
month ago Senator Robert M. La
Fonette, at that time the only an
nounced opponent of the President for
the nomination, made a tour of Ohio
AT every stop the Senator assailed the
Iart policies. Tomorrow Mr.. Taft will
reply to that attack. He will speak in
Cleveland before the Chamber of Com
merce, the Brotherhood Of Locomotive
engineers, the Tippecanoe Club, and the
Hungarian Club. The next day he will
go to Columbus, and the day after he

POLITICALLY this speaking tour Is the
most important the President has
made since the long Western trip. The

IS about the same today as it was
Derore the President arrived here yes
terday.. He is still facing the Barnes
opposition to the instructed delegation.
he Is stiil facing the probability of a
New York candidate in the person OF
theodore Roosevelt, and he still is
without an organization in New York
to present his claims to the Saratoga
convention. He has many friends in
New York State, but they are not unit
ed. In Ohio the conditions are chaotic.
The President knows that he will find
disorganization on every hand when he
reaches there. He has his following still
among the people. and 1t is a big follow
ing. but the party leaders are not to be
counted on.
In the first place. the Roosevelt sem
timent is powerful in Ohio. It is so
strong that one leader after another
