Men Who Launched Petition Against
Taft Want 1t Kept Very Quiet.

Washington, July 10.-The scheme
of republican 'progressives" in the
house of representatives to launch a
fresh campaign against President
Taft by means of a petition asking
him to withdraw as the republican
nominee proved a "flash in the pam"
When pinned down to it, the members
who participated in the conferences
which developed the idea hastily
joined the "don't mention my name"
club. Those who started the move
ment abandoned their efforts to show
the participation of the regular re-
publicans and it was apparent that
there was little support forthcoming
from that direction.
