Off for Beverly Today.


Not in three years have old-line republi-
cans generally been so inspired over the
political outlook as they are at this time.
Whether this hopefulness will keep up
after the campaign opens remains to be
seen.
President Taft himself is decidedly in
the same frame of mind. His friends
say that if he had been picking the
nominee of the Baltimore convention
Woodrow Wilson would have been his Sc
lection. The President has told some OF
his friends that Wilson's nomination will
make the issue square between radicalism
and moderate progressivism, and that
he believes the conservative people OK
the country will repeat their work in
every presidential election since 1896.
The President did not. however. make
any statement today as to the Baltimore
convention and is Withholding anything
he may have to say until later on. All
his callers found him greatly pleased with
the situation generally and ready to ex-
tend him hearty congratulations on the
rapid improvement in the prospects of his
reelection.
The Taft managers believe that con-
will flock to the republican nominee.
while the radical democrats and radical
republicans will split their strength be-
tween Wilson and Roosevelt. The demo-
cratic nominee, it is prophesied, will put
the Roosevelt party out OF business en-
tirely removing every chance IL had OF
making showing, but at the same
time Roosevelt will poll enough votes in
some states to prevent Wilson carrying
those states.
Wilson's Writings Handicap.
White House callers today made much
of the serious effect the writings OF Will
son will have upon his campaign. 1t
was asserted that these writings are SO
injudicious in some respects as to array
against Wilson some of the big voting
elements of the country. Representative
Rodenberg touched upon this as ne was
leaving the executive ofnces.
81 came to congratulate the President
upon his practically sure reelection, SAID
Mr.. Rodenberg. I'VE will shoot WOODY
Wilson so full of holes next November
he won't know what struck him. II there
is nothing else to do 1t his fifth volume
of THE American People, pages 2l2 to
213. ought to do the job. In this ne
practically says that Chinaman Is tar
better than the people from southern
Europe, and compares the Irishman to the
Chinaman to the disadvantage of the
sons of Erin. Wilson is impractical.
There is little doubt in my mind
that President Taft will be re-elected
in November" said Senator Burnham.

great experience in governmental ousi-
ness will cause the voters to hesNa1e
before voting for man with virtually
no experience and without the knowi-
edge of men that Mr.. Taft has. Presi-

to head the government than Mr.. VIII

TAFT will carry New York by more
| than 100000 majority" said former Rep
| resentative Bennett, who Is candidate
for the gubernatorial nomination In New
York. 1.-The people of New York have
more money in banks. building and loan
| associations and other institutions than
any other people in the country. Sta

New York has never gone of after new
| nostrums and never will. This Is merely
another Bryan campaign, with a college
professor masquerading as Bryan.
Third Party Dead in Kansas.
1.-THE third party movement has petered
out in Kansas and Taft will carry that
state easily" said Representative Anth-
ony Of Kansas who was with the Presi-
dent.

President with Representative Sells. 1t
certainly looks as If the republicans ma

Before leaving the White House Rep
resentative Bartholdt OF Missouri made
the following statement Il weigh my
words in making this statement" he be-
gan. Missouri will cast her electoral
vote for President Taft. Thousands of
level-headed democrats will help us swell
the majority"
President Taft will not bother much
about politics until after his vacation
at Beverly. which he will begin as soon
as Congress adjourns. Republican leaders
think that adjournment will take place
about August 1. The President will go
TO Beverly this afternoon with Mrs. Taft
and establish their summer home. He will
remain there until Sunday afternoon. re-
