dent Taft, he says, but the rank and
file of voters are out for the ex-presi
dent. He cites one Vermont community
which he recently visited as an example
of this sentiment. Storekeepers almost
without exception were loyal to Taft,
while in the outlying districts, Roose-
Welt had strong following among the
grangers.
