TAFT HURT; IS SILENT
AFTER ANNOUNCEMENT

WASHINGTON Feb 26.-The only
remark emanating from the president
that at all bore upon the political
situation was made to a senator who
asked that his name not be used. 1t
was this:
Il know we are right and | am con-
fident we will be successful
1t has been only in the last fort
night that President Taft has been
willing to admit to his closest friends
that he believed Colonel Roosevelt
would enter the race against him for
the nomination. 1t is doubtful whether
up to the last minute he was convinc-
ed fully that any announcement COM
ing from his predecessor would be
without a string attached.
That President Taft was hurt deep
ly to know that from now on he
must engage in an open contest
against the man under whom he had
served for many years became known
soon after the Roosevelt letter was
made public.
Mr.. Taft's friends have pointed out
that Secretary of War Stimson, who
ran foE. governor of New York with
Mr.. Roosevelt as his most conspicuous
backer, and also Secretary of the Navy
Meyer, who was in the Roosevelt cab
1t has been a matter of comment that
Secretary Meyer and Stimson have
been frequent visitors to Colonel
The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1912-02-26

Roosevelts offices in New York or his
home at Oyster Bay.
So far as Secretary Stimson is con-
cerned, it is known that he entered
the Taft cabinet unhampered as to
future political activity. Colonel
Roosevelt is known to be one of the
men he consulted before accepting the
war portfolio and it is said upon un-
questioned authority that he stipulat-
ed he should not be expected to do
campaign work. Yet he has accepted
an invigation to speak in Chicago on
March at the Taft club meeting
Only as recently as last Friday Sec
retary Meyer met a rumor that he
was about to resign with this state
ment:
"If | remain in the cabinet as l
intend to do, it is quite evident that
my loyalty will be with my chief"

Manford Harland, pioneer farmer of
American ridge south of Troy, one of
the best known and most conservative
farmers in Latah county, was in, Troy
Saturday and for the first time since
the court house discussion started, eX-
pressed himself openly relatively to
the sitution. When the first conven-
tion met in Moscow in December Mr..
Harland was opposed to a new court
house, he says, believing that the prop
er thing was to repair the present
building. But he is fair minded man.

TRAMPLE OVER WOMEN TO Club STRIKERS
TEDDY'S HAT IN RING;
HE'S NOW A CANDIDATE

NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-Active work
in lining up delegates favorably to the
Roosevelt candidacy was begun early
today. The ink on Roosevelt's letter
to eight western governors in which
he said he would accept the nomination
had hardly cooled before Roosev elt
headquarters in the Metropolitan
building were established, and Oliver
Carpenter, one of the shrewdest pol
iticians in the state, had been put in
charge.
His friends expect Roosevelt to be-
gin a personal campaign Wednesday
here.
1t is said he will first go to Phoenix,
Arjz., where his son, Archie, is study
ing, making speeches enroute. Branch
headquarters will be opened in Chi
cago and San Francisco.
Roosevelt's letter to the governors
is remarkably brief and is as follows
Gentlemen: l deeply appreciate ,ou
letter and l realize to the fullest ext ,nt
the heavy responsibility it puts upon
me, expressing as it does the carefully
considered convictions OF men elected

of their several states.
