twenty-nine days at the old rate OF
salaries and one day at the new.
This seems strange but must be
done by Postmaster Nimocks, as the
law authorizing the increase in pay
goes into effect on September 80 In
stead Of October l.. just why the law
is put into effect on September 80 In
stead of October 1 Is unexplainable
and furthermore it will cause some

New York, Sept. 25-President Taft,
In an interview issued last night, De.
clared that his recent claims OF
strength were entitled to respect. He
repeated that he believed he would be
elected, and gave his reasons for
denying that he had been over-sang'

He analysed the political situation
as he saw it, maintaining that the reg
ular republicans would carry the solid
east and hold enough OF the central
and western states to win.
The president made these state
ments at the home of his brother
Henry w. Taft, where he went on his
arrival from Washington late yester
day and received number OF his
friends and political associates. The
presidents interview follows:

and that the third term party would

middle west as debatable ground. TO-
day, with the election still one month
away, the republican party finds itself
with strengthened hold on the solid
east. having routed the third term
party in Vermont and the democratic
party in Maine.
"The third term leaders recently
conceded that we would pick the state
of Utah out of the solid west, and, az

is every reason to believe that the re-

II is believed the British govern

grant free passage through the canal
To American vessels I'm coastwise trade
and that relating to the passage of
railroad owned ships. The Canadian
railways are deeply concerned i'm both
and Il is thought some representation

The canal bill is now i'm the senate
committee with the prospect of being
soon reported.
Great Britain's request for a post
ponement is likely to have little effect
in delaying the passage of the canal
BILL according to leading members in
the senate. Several members of tho
canals committee declared there will
be no backing down" by the senate
from the position favoring the free
passage of American ships
The committee has never been
agreed on that point. however. and
there is a wide divergence of opinion i'm
the senate as to the rights of the Unit
ed states under the existing treaties.
II seems certain that any representa-
tions Britain may make will be sup
ported by Germany, France and other
powers.
The matter of moment is how far
these power may go to sustain the
protest against the proposed control Of
the canal by the United States.

he proposed to be guided entirely by
