spondent of a st. Louis paper, whom
he took to task over the matter be-
fore leaving the National capital. The
correspondent, he said, defended his
action by saying he had not quoted
Governor Hadley but had credited
him with being out for Mr.. Taft's re-
nomination, under the belief that
such was the case.
