| ARE OPTIMISTIC
Washington Star: Taft supporters
at the White House today were i'm
mensely pleased over the Frightening
outlook for the nomination of the
President at the Chicago convention.
An optimistic view was general
among all callers, and they reported
finding the President feeling espec-
tally welland in about the most salts
fed frame of mind he has shown for
many days.
| The outcome of the congressional
convention in the fourth district of
Oklahoma had much to do with the
optimism of callers and with the
White House view. The mere fact
that President Taft had syon two
delegates in that state did not count
for half so much as the widespread
belief that the methods used to STAN.
pede the convention for Roosevelt
would react. throughout the country
in bringing into line for Taft thous.
tnds of republicans d,sgusted with
that sort of business, who have here
tofore assumed waiting positions as
TO tine fight for the nomination.
Without exception republican call
! ers believed that the antics of the
anti-Taft people at Coalgate, Oklo.,
would set large numbers of people In
all directions to thinking and that the
immediate effect would be a big Access
| sion to the Taft strength in every
state.
Hotbed Of insurgency
Oklahoma, it was pointed out has
been a hotbed of insurgency and of
insurgents ever since it came into
statehood. Democrats and the SEN
sational specialties are in line with
what might be expe ted there. In
spite Of all this, Taft won the dele
gates, instructed by a large majority.
Many visitors declared that if Taft
could win in that state under the cir
cumstances he has fear in other
quarters, where stampedes would be
attempted on such a novel scale.
There were suggestions during the
day that Col. Roosevelt may consider
it wise to denounce such efforts. Jack
Alternately, who playe such a part in
the convention, Vas United States
marshal under Roosevelt.
Senator Bradley of Kentucky told
the President that there is no chance
in the Taft sentiment in that state
and that the president will have the
delegation Representative Caleb Pow
ers, which had been limited at as likely
to oppose the President in the eleven
tn district of Kentucky, because Of
alleged disgruntlement over an ap-
pointment, came out last night for the
President.
Good News From California
Representative Hayes of California,
the state where insurgency is suppos
ed to be knee deep. told the Presi-
dent today that California would rally
to him in most satisfactory way.
Senator Guggenheim, Galhnger and
Crane were among other republican
callers who cheered the president
with news they were getting. There
were also Representatives Burke,
Needham of California, Calder, Kahn,
Sulloway, Mccall, Dalzell, Payne,
Roberts, Fordney, Kendall, Young,
Catlin and Delegate Cameron of Ari-
zona.
Representatives Payne, Dalzell and
Mccall, besides talking politics with
the President, conferred long time
with him over the steel and iron bill.
The visitors would say nothing ex-
cept that the republicans will oppose
any bill introduL ID by the democrats
that is not based upon q scientific
report by the tariff board. The Presi.
dent is understood to approve this
attitude.
J. Edward Addicks, one time the
most talked of man in Delaware poll
tics, called at the White House today
and left his card for President Taft
and Secretary Hilles. He did not see
either. Mr.. Addicks said there would
be some hot times in Delaware next
November. As to the republican dele
CATION from that state there would be
no fight. Both the senators and
everybody else is for Taft said Mr..
Addicks.
Maryland for Taft
The Presidents visitors this after
noon included Representative Parran,
John B. Hanna, republican state chair
ma and w. H. Jackson, national
committeeman of Maryland. They
tod the President that the Maryland
republican leaders and the masses Of
republican voters were for him, and
that he would win in the primaries to
be held in May. The visitors told the
President that they represented Gov.
Goldsborough, and that so far as they
knew there would be no opposition to
the President in that state.
