tant places on the state ticket:

and a continuation of business depres-
sion and general unrest.
In estimating the proba bilities of
President Taft's denomination and re-
election it is necessary to recur only
to recent history. The president car
ried every northern state in 1908. be-
tween the election of that year and
1910 occurred the tariff legislation
known as the Payne tariff law 1t is
a well known maxim of politics that
that party which revises the tariff is
defeated at the next election. and the
only exception to the rule in recent
years was the passage of the Dingley
law which was followed so closely by
the outbreak of the Spanish-American
war as to bury the tariff issue in a
wave of patriotic enthusiasm The
more recent by-elections in the big Re
publican states east of the Mississippi
river, notably in New York. New Jer-
Sey and Pennsylvania. have shown
return of Republicans to the fold and
a restoration of the old time Republic
an majorities. which justities the pre-
diction that they will be safely in the
Taft column in November That they
will so unanimously support any other
Republican candidate. particularly if
the third term issue is injected into
the fight is denied by the best in
formed leaders in those states.
AS to the nomination there is no
longer any doubt but that President
Taft will have a majority of the dele
gates both from the north and the
south. New England will be practical
ly if not entirely solid for him. He
will have sweeping victories in New
York. Pennsylvania and the other mid
die Atlantic states Ohio has never
yet failed to support a favorite son
