President Taft did not believe until

Theodore Roosevelt was to declare
himself, even in effect, an active can

Story Pleased Taft.

II was only few weeks ago that
President Taft was told this story OF
the words of the man whom even
then it was expected might be his
rival in the 1912 field. He liked the
story and said it was good to hear it.
Before the country knew generally
that Mr.. Roosevelt hoped that his
secretary of war could be induced to
become a candidate for the presidency
a visitor at the White House asked
him what progressive Republicans
were to do on election day the fol-
lowing November provided the party
insisted on nominating reactioDary.
The president said that he hoped it
would not be necessary for anybody
ito go fishing; that If the party
should nominate as he hoped it would,
William II. Taft, 1t would have a
progressive candidate and If he was
elected the country would have pro-
gressive president. Then he added
that his associations with Mr.. Taft
and his close friendship with him
made him know just how he felt about
real progressive legislation and just
what he would do to further its cause
~ ever he became president.
There are few Washington believ-
ers of a story somewhat widely told
that Mr.. Roosevelt broke with Mr..
Taft before inauguration day, 1909. 1t
is pretty well known that the prede-
cessor watched with some misgivings
the successors cabinet making en-
deavors. but II is to be doubted II Mr..
Roosevelt said, as be is reported to
have said. "A cabinet like mine does
not seem TO be good enough for him

The Ranking officer.

There is Washington newspaper
story to the effect that the society
editor of local journal went to the
White House one morning when Mr..
Roosevelt was president to get some
information on precedence and while
there he asked some one who the
ranking officer of the cabinet was.
The president overheard the question
and turning said: The secretary OF
war" So he was to Theodore Roose-

Many things showing the affection
between Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Taft
are brought to mind today by the
breach between two men who ono

circumstances would admit. One
night in December, 1907, two or three
months before Mr.. Taft became an
announced candidate for the nomina-
ton, President Roosevelt, talking to
some friends in the White House, said
that the country was calling certain
legislative policies ''the Roosevelt
policies" Then he said that he did
not know whether they were Roose-
welt policies or Taft policies. His un-
certainty as to the proper name was
due, he said, to the fact that long be-
fore he had any thought that one day
he might be president of the United
States he was thinking along lines OF
what ne considered to be proper pub
lie policies, and wondering If ever
they might be given legislative effect.
While wondering he found out that
another man was thinking along the
same lines and also wondering If his
thoughts might one day take the form
of legislation. The other man, Mr..
Roosevelt said, was William II. Taft.
AS the story came from Mr.. Roose-
vet he entered into correspondence
with Mr. Taft, exchanged views and
opinions and found that they were
identical Roosevelt said that from
that date until the day he was speak
ing the two had been close In counsel,
in friendship and in endeavor.

In Event of a Dead Lock.

Although at the present time
all signs indicate the election of
Woodrow Wilson as the next
President of the United States,
yet the history of elections is so
full of surprises that no man
can make safe prophecy rs to
the outcome. One great danger
for the adherents of the Demo
cratic nominee for President is
over. confidence. Over-conf-
dence has defeated more people
in the political and the business
world than any other cause.
This being true, il may be
worth while to consider the
possibilities, should any one
candidate fail to receive clear
majority in the electoral col
lege. The people of the United
States will vote indirectly for.
the President by voting for
electors from their respective
States. Each State is entitled
to IA many electors as it has
Senators and Representatives.
The total membership in the
present House of Representa-.
tives il 39i. This, with 90
Senators, makes n total of 400
members of the electoral col
lege. Ii requires u clear ma,
iority of GAG votes to be cast for
one man to elect him President.
Should any one OF the candi-
datea receive 245 electoral
votes, no one would have the
majority, and the election
would be thrown into the House
of Representatives.
The same rule applies to the
Vice President. Should no can
didate for the Vice President
receive 346 electoral votes it
will then devolve upon the
United States Senate to elect
the Vice President. When the
election of the President is
thrown into the House each
State casts one vote, this vote
