TAFT IS NOT AFTER
1916 NOMIN ALTON
Informs Friends He Must Not b
Regarded as Candidate Four
s Years Hence

washington, D. c., Nov. 27.-Presi
dent Taft has quietly Informed friends
that no matter how active his partici.
patton in a reorganization OF the re-
publican party may be he is not to be
regarded or publicly referred to in
political speeches by republicans as
a possible candidate for the party in
1916. .
The president intends to do all In
his power to help rejuvenate the party
and probably will make many political
speeches before March and after he
re-enters private life; but, according
to close friends. he is in the fight to
continue the party and to try to return
it to power as a man who has been Its
standard bearer for four years and
not as man seeking denomination
four years hence. 5

Washington, d. c., Nov. 27.-More
than two million acres Of land will
be distributed among small farmers
