Your letter reached me. just as / have
been making postal card canvass WIN a
view OF ascertaining the sentiment OF the
eioctorate in this locality as regards Presi-
dnnt Taft and Mr. Roosevelt. Returns to
date show that President Taft is in the
iead curious and interesting fact is
that the Taft vote has materiahy Increased s.,1
since the announcement OF Mr.. Rooseveit
HnIr,,hns speech and the declaration OF his
Candidacy. Public sentiment as eNpress,e,u p,,t
Personally at this time is almost WnoIy
favorabl TO the President. Such sehtifhent
as accrues TO Mr.. Roosevelt Is largeiS con-
tributed by what we might term the so
c,aJistic class. II Is my Judgment that the
eist Congress District Will give fresiueh'
Taft a solid delegation
