Taft NoW Looms LARGE
AS Republican Nominee
With League of Nations Leading Issue He Is in Posi-
ton to Unite Republican Factions-Underwood Will
Make Trip to New England This Week
BY HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington. July 27-(special.)
William Howard Taft looms up as the
most formidable aspirant for the repub-
lican presidential nomination.
The league of nations will be much
of an issue if not the issue the nex1
campaign, according TO best judgment
of leaders of both major parties.
After the president Mr.. Taft has al
ways been the most conspicuous sup
porter of the league. His recent state
ment regarding the advisability of at
taching reservations to the treaty, if
by no other means it could be preserv-
ed, has put Taft in line with Will H
Hays, chairman of the republican ma
tional committee.
At the same time, Taft has not hurt
himself with the reactionary wing of
the republican party. The reactiona-
ries are opponents Of the league. But
If reservations are attached, though
they be of no Importance, the reac-
tionaries will be able Ito save their
faces Although each of them would
like to be president, himself, they are
not ungrateful, it would appear, for
Taft's making 1t possible for them to
emerge without an abject surrender,
or burdened with the weight of having
defeated the hope of permanent peace.
Politicians is Washington do not be-
lieve that Mr.. Taft, in his support of
the league, has been animated by sell
fish political motives. At the same
time, they argue that if the league is
popular with the people, Taft must be.
For the former president has not
only supported it from it's inception,
but his proposed reservations might
be the means of compromise which will
result in the leagues preservation.

IS 20 below ZERO
(By Associated Press)

CHICAGO, Nov. 2S.-Snow ranging
in depth from two feet to an inch. to-
day covered most of the country be-
tween the Mississippi river and the
Sierra Nevada mountains and from
Canada to northern Texas with low
temperatures prevailing throughout
the area. A slight snowfall occurred
in Northern Illinois, Indiana and as
far east as Toledo, O.. while word
came that some snow fell In Los An
geles, Calf, and that two inches Of
snow covered the ground at the avia-
ton field near Riverside, California.
South Of the snow belt heavy rains
fell and floods swept the lowlands
bordering the Salt and Aqua Fria
rivers in Arizona, with possible loss Of
life.
Suffering many places in the cen
trail and southwest was in prospect be-
cause of the extreme cold and the
limited fuel supply resulting from the
coal strike. Call on the western
ranges also were reported endangered.
In the western plains states, trains
were badly delayed and wire COM
munication was crippled.
Lander, Wyo., was the coldest place
in the country, according to reports,
the temperature there being 20 degrees
below zero. At Abilene, Tex. it was
six degrees above zero.

Toledo Sees Way to
Settle Car Squabble
(Pv Associated Press)

TOLEDO, O., Nov. 2S.-A hearing
expected to pave the way toward re-
sumption OF street car service here
soon is scheduled in United States dis
trict court this morning.
The hearing involves the Miller pub
lie utilities abandonment law, passed
at the last session Of the Ohio legisla-
ture. which requires that the state
utilities commission be notified Of in
tention to abandon public utilities.
Prominent in the hearing will be
Henry L. Doherty of New York, who
took the cars into Michigan four days
after the now famous custer was ap-
proved by the voters, and Mayor Cor
nell Schneider, who drafted the custer
ordinance and who now is asking Fed
eral court to order Mr.. Doherty to
bring his rolling stock back.
Judge John NJ. Killits. who ordered
the hearing, has given the opinion that
the utilities commission has jurisdio-
ton over street railways because all
interurban cars entering and passing
through the city used the street lines
until the power was shut off.
Mr. Doherty taken the stand that
the law does not cover the situation
here and has said he will appeal 20
the highest court.
