Republicans to Meet.

Chairman John B. Hanna of the repub-
lican state central committee has sent
out a call for meeting of his campaign
committee next week to plan for the
Taft and Sherman campaign in this state.
Whether there shall be reconyening or
the state convention to choose electors
favorable to the election of the regular
nominees of the republican party will be
decided definitely at this meeting.
Chairman Hanna Is at work upon plan
for systematic campaigning in the coun-
ties. There will be district workers
throughout the state. and they will make
daily reports to the central headquarters
in this city. The Taft leaders expect many
of those now on the Roosevelt band
wagon In various sections of the state
to get in touch with the Iarty organiZa-
ton at an early date and work in the
interest of the regular ticket. They base
this belief upon the fact that in other
states many followers of the colonel are
beginning TO realize that Roosevelt can
not win and are returning to the party
fold. Only yesterday City Chairman Han
son received a letter from a prominent
here. who wrote: II intend TO support
President Taft during the coming cam
paign. for the reason that j believe Col.
Roosevelts election an mpossibility.
Anything that / can do for you in this
campaign ] will, and shall expect you to
