POLITICAL FIELD.

Coionel'S intimate friends say
that he will not make any such
statement and would be foolish
to do so. They claim that Presi-
dent Taft would like to have him
declare explicitly, but that they
see no reason why he should.
Both the President and the ex-
President have undou otedly been
much wrought up over the situa-
tion. Mr.. Taft, at the heat Of
the excitement which prevailed
in Congress, passed out the
word that nothing but death
would prevent him from being a
candidate. This was said a little
after Gov. Osborne, of Michigan,
a half baked progressive, made a
speech suggesting that both Sen
ator La Toilette and President
Taft should withdraw, and allow
ex-senator Beveridge or EXPIRE.
