Washington, May 23.-Claiming
$40 delegates to the Chicago conven-

assure him the nomination, President
Taft in a statement Wednesday de-
clared he was going into New Jer-
sey to make assurances doubly

at 7 o'clock Thursday morning and
make his first political speech at
Camden in the evening.
The presidents statement was Is
sued after a day of activity at the
White House. Political conferences
with his managers and appointments
with members of the cabinet were
followed at 4 o'clock by meeting
of the full cabinet. 1t was stated
later that this meeting was devoted
to routine business" but members
of the cabinet admitted that the po-

in considerable detail

his statement. "and would settle the
question of my nomination. This is
true. I shall have at least seven

delegates-a large, for we have every
assurance that we shall control the

Ohio, delegates elected for me from
other states where 4 have been ad-

These are times in which party
lines are being largely eliminated in
that different schools of thought are
being created with the two great
political parties, leaders are being ar
rayed against leaders and interne-
cine strife and contention prevail. 1t is
an alignment in which predatory priv
ilege is warning with the interests Of
the people. Decisions of courts, of
quasi-judicial tribunals, rulings Of
commissions, acts of congress and
the various state legislatures are
having an anomalous result. The
people are discorNented, business is
stagnant, results are in doubt, peo-
pie are dubious There are constant
ly arising new conditions, and rem
edies must be created to meet these
changing conditions.
