has won in every presidential

this prediction on the campaign

IF Truman runs again and
Taft is nominated, he will beat

elected"
George G. Van Buren,, retired
coal and grain business operator

Taft gin preference to Truman"
as Taft is "better qualified in
every way, has been in Washing

all about, is very capable and a
man of unimpeachable integ'
rity."
Mr.. Van Buren, retired about
eight years ago and now lives at

in many elections, it can be cited
