TAFT'S RENOMINATION CERTAIN
T. RS Ohio Managers About Ready
to Throw Up the Sponge as the
Result of Presidents Popular Vote
Victory In Massachusetts.

OOluHDuS, O'J May - -NOPSNloi'l
AS the result of the Massachusetts
primaries this week, in which Presi.
dent Taft defeated Roosevelt in pop
ular vote of the Republicans of that
state, it Is more certain than ever that
he will have more than enough votes
pledged to insure his denomination at
the Chicago convention before tho
Ohio Republican primaries on May 21
next.
The significance Of the result of the
Massachusetts primaries lies in the
fact that it was the first state in which
President Taft made an active cam
paign for the election of delegates,
and his decisive defeat of Roosevelt
there has had the effect of thoroughly
discouraging the managers Of Roose'
velt's Ohio campaign. 1t is now Under
stood that Roosevelt's Ohio managers
are seriously considering the advisa'
bility of cancelling his Ohio speaking
dates on the theory that even without
Ohio President Taft's denomination is
now assured and that continuation
of the fight in this state can serve no
other purpose than to arouse such bit
terness as to endanger Republican
success in the state, if not the nation,
next November.
However, should Roosevelt still
conclude to invade Ohio, he will have
lot of explaining to do to Ohio Re-
publicans. He will be compelled to
face many indignant Republicans who
believe that in seeking denomination
and reelection for a third term and
opposing President Taft for second
term he has permitted an unbridled
ambition and passion for power not
only to threaten the life of the Re-
publican party, which has so often
and so greatly honored him, but also
believe that he has been false to the
square deal" doctrine, false to his
own word that under no circum.
stances would he seek or accept a
third term as president, false to the
memory and example of George Wash.
ingtOn, and false to the sacred tradi-
tions of not only the Republican
party, but OF the American people
against a third term for any presi-
dent. When he comes into the home
state of President Taft seeking, as he
has in other states, by misrepresenta-
tion and abuse, to destroy the faith Of
Ohio pnnnhlinonC in thair Hicfin.
guished son, he may be forced to ex-
| plain to them by what rule of reason
or common honesty he justities his
present candidacy with his promises
of 1904 and 1908, that under no cir
cumstances would he seek or accept
a denomination for third term.
Roosevelt will also be forced to ex-
plain away, if he can, many other
| glaringly apparent inconsistencies in
the course he has pursued in his cam
paign in other states. Ohio Republi-
cans will be curious to know how
| Roosevelt, in his canvass in Illinois,
could honestly seek to secure politi-
cal advantage for himself by SO gross
| " AAAlSA SPA NoNllIiLo IAO hIbAIuuC VI
President Taft by coupling the lat.
ter's name with that of the unpopular
Boss Lorimer, when he had first hand
knowledge that President Taft has
continually and consistently opposed
| Lorimer.
Nor can Ohio Republicans appreci-
ate the point of view which enables
Roosevelt to denounce President Taft
In other states for receiving the sup
port of so-called political bosses, when

whelmingly repudiatel by the voters
of that city at the last municipal elec-
ton.
! If Roosevelt expects to receive any
support from Ohio Republicans he
will have to explain away many other
evidences of Inconsistency, insincer,
ity, radicalism and unfairness on his
part in connection with his present
| candidacy. For illustration: Before
| he became a candidate for a third
term he gave his whole-hearted and
| unnnnlifod onnTpVaI tn
Taft's reciprocity program; after he
| became candidate he denounced the
reciprocity program in those sections

proposal was unpopular. In other
states he has been denouncing and
misrepresenting President Taft as the
candidate of "big business" while at
the same time it is common knowl.
edge that Roosevelt is receiving the
active political and generous financial
support of two of the greatest trusts
in the world-the Steel trust and the
Harvester trust.
Roosevelt will also find in Ohio an
overwhelming sentiment among Re
publicans against his "rule or ruin
policy. He will find few even among
his supporters who approve of his
evident discrimination to wreck the
Republican party If he cannot secure
denomination for third term.
