Special Correspondence Of The Star
ROCKVILLE, Nd, September &c, 1912.
In the opinion of the members of the
republican state central and county
| committees, and other prominent men,
bers OF the party, who held conference
here Tuesday afternoon. republican pros
poets in Montgomery county are steadily
improving. The reports were that very
large proportion of those who supported
Col. Roosevelt in the presidential pri-
maries have fallen in line for President
Taft and the republican congressional
and judicial candidates, and the general
feeling among those present was that the
few former members Of the party who
fail to finally line up for the republican
candidates will be more than Offset by
democratic assertions to Taft and Roose-
welt and that the party is sure to make a
splendid showing in the county at the
November election.
Mr.. Waggaman Takes Part
Among those who attended the confer
ence was Charles d. Waggaman, re-
publican candidate for Congress in this
district. Mr.. Waggaman told those who
attended the conference that he expects
to be elected. He said he would have
the solid support of all factions of the
party throughout the district and that he
had received assurances from many
democrats, especially in his home county
of Washington. that they would cast
their votes for him in November.
Mr.. Waggaman does not believe that
his failure to declare himself on the
presidential question will lose him any
-n$4r t. EN- -
both President Taft and Col. Roosevelt
throughout the district appreciate the
delicate position in which he is placed
and are satisfied with the stand he has
taken.
Several of those who attended yester-
days conference had been holding aloof
and, as some doubt had been felt as to
what their attitude might be, their pres
ence caused much qualification. Among
these was Brainard H. Warner, jr., who
was the republican candidate for Con-
gress in this district two years ago. Mr.
Warner made a short speech. in which
he made it clear that his republicanism
is of the right stripe and that he earnest
ly desires and will work for the re-
election Of President Taft and the sue
cess Of Mr.. Waggaman and the other re-
publican candidates.

meetings in the various districts, and
