NUNS the

st. Paul Dispatch: NUNS the
word"
This is Congressman Halvor steen-
erson's stand on the Taft-Roosevelt
controversy. Congressman Sydney
Anderson and Congressman Steener-
son are the only congressman here to
attend the meeting Of republican
nominees.
"Congressmen are not being inter-
viewed these days." said Mr. Steiner
son. Il am not saying a word"
Sydney Anderson is taking the same
position. He refuses to say where he
stands. but it is understood that Meth
ell Stevenson nor Anderson will sup
port Taft.
Congressman Stevenson has no op-
position for the election and his Sc
lection at the primaries is virtually
election. unless the ~progressives file
some one against him by petition. Mr..
Stevenson intimated today that he
had been assured. by the progressives
this would not be done.
The voters are not saying much on
the Taft-Roosevelt controversy" said
Mr.. Anderson. but they will do a
powerful lot Of voting"
