wCElling on the levce today to prevent
the swollen Mississippi from making
further inrOads. Tons Of sand and stone
are being deposited on each side of the

President Taft Fears
Third Party Movement;
Calls Halt on Mckinley

The friends Of President Taft who have
been talking to MIN in relation to the
movement for a third party say he has
known for some time that such an agi-
tation was under way.
1t is declared in the Presidents be-
naIf tina. ne has never believed the
former President Roosevelt conceived
the idea. hut that its inspiration came
from those who sought to profit by en-
IarGing the quarrel between President
Taft and Colonel Roosevelt.
IT was really because of this knowl-
edge. it is explained. President Taft
recently called a halt on Congressman
FicKinley's verbal and literary assaults
on the former President, ana why Mr.,
raft himself has adopted his presrnl
policy OF saying nothing mere that will
irrit ate Mr.. Roosevelt controvcrsially.
Mr. Taft explained something of al
this 10 a close friend who called at the
White House Yesterday.

who are trying to urge Colonel Roose
