Now Believed Taft VIII Have Almost
Solid Delegation From the Em-
plIo State.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.--Presi-
dent Taft will soon start vigorous
speech-maling campaign to further
his candidacy for denomination.
Before the republican national con-
vention meets in June the president
VIII spend many days on the road and
IS expected to deliver scores Of
speeches. He will travel as far west
as Chicago, and north as far as New
Hampshire, and south as far as Geor-
ela. Taft headquarters were opened
here some time ago, and Representa-
tive Mckinley placed in charge
The announcement was made that
,he president has consented to stop on
his way west at Toledo, o. a few days
ago the White House let it be known
that the president would go to Sa-
yannah in April or May and might
stop at Pinehurst. n. c.
After short conference with Sena-
tors Smoot and Gallagher it was
thought the president would extend
his Boston trip which would begin
March Il to at least two New Hamp-
shire cities.
May Answer Teddy.
Although no announcement has
been made as subjects of his speeches,
It is certain he will not fail to in
clude the recall of judges the recall"
Of judicial decisions, possibly the in
itative and referendum and topics
touched by Colonel Roosevelt in his
Columbus speech. Probably Mr.
Taft will make no direct reply to that
speech an dit has been stated With
emphasis that he will not indulge in
personalities. But that he will make
clear his own views on many of the
doctrines advocated by Colonel Roose-
Welt in Columbus is almost certain.
A canvass Of the New York political
situation made today between William
Barnes, Jr.. chairman Of the New
York state committee, Vice President
sherman and others, resulted in an
Informal declaration that President
Taft would have an almost solid dele
cation from New York at the cOnven-
ton.
1t was said today the conference
between Mr.. Taft and Chairman
Barnes. which lasted until late last
night was satisfactory to both insofar
as the selection of delegates and the
proposed wording of the platform was
concerned.
Mr. Barnes returned to New York
late today.
Congressman Mckinley, director of
the national Taft headquarters, re-
turned today from Chicago whore he
made arrangements for the western
end of the Taft campaign.
