Of popular sentiment as can possibly
be obtained prior to the primaries.
Many false reports have been
sent out Of Ohio during the last sew
eral weeks for the purpose of mis-
leading Republicans in other states
into belief that president Taft's
home state would not be behind him
for denomination. These reports
which have uttered back to us have
served to arouse not only
the resentment Of the great mass of
Ohio Republicans, but further has
stirred them to unusual activity in
the presidents behalf.
''ohio' is proud of Taft and will
send aasolid Taft delegation to the
Chicago convention in June"

with a paragraph stating that their cor
