TITE MORXTN'G OREGON'IAX, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1912. TAFT KURT DEEPLY BY TURU OF EVENTS Belief Held Until Recently That Roosevelt Would Not Become His Foe. OPEN CONTEST REGRETTED Attitude of Cabinet Members Who Wrre In Colonel's Official Finn lly la Subject of Specula tion In Washington. WAWnNOTO.V. rati. IS. Newspapers and tha office of Washington corre spondent were bestea-ed today and to night with personal and telephone nlli from politician and statesmen 'asking- what Colonel Roosevelt had to say. In tha list of callers were several . BwMTCt boomers who recently had called on tha ex-Preslrtnt and to whom St waa aupposd advance In for nation of hla Intentions had been giv en. It waa evident that few were pre pared for the crisp, unequivocal state- inent from tha Colonel that ha candidate for tha Republican nomina tion. PreeMent Taft would make no com aaent. White Houee official also were reticent. Pmldeat Caafldeat at arrra. The only remark, emanatlns; from tha President during- the day that at all bore upon the political situation wa made to a Senator who aaked that hla name be not used. It waa this: "I know we are rlrht and I am confi dent we will be successful." It has been only In the last fort night that President Taft haa been willing to admit to hla closest friends that ha believed Colonel Roosevelt wouM enter the rare against him for the nomination. It la doubted whether up to the last minute he waa convinced Sully that any announcement com In a; from his predecessor would be with out a string- attached. That President Taft waa hurt deep ly to know that from now on b mus ensure in an open contest ajralnsi the man under whom ha bad served for years became known soon aft the Roosevelt letter waa mad pub ire Relallaaa Eseeprleaally CI' The relations between Colonel Rooe vlt and President Taft. when Presl drnt Taft served aa Secretary of War, were exceptionally close. For months Tresident Taft refused to believe that Crlonel Roosevelt would oppose him for a renomtnatlnn and that b was convinced the Colonel would turn draf ear to ail ursine that be blmaelf become a candidate waa known to all Mr. Taft'a friends. These friends have pointed out that Secretary of War Stlmson. who ran for Governor of New York with Mr. Roosevelt aa bis moat nsptcuons backer, and also Beer fc.r7 of the Navy Meyer, who waa In t.ie Roosevelt cabinet, were In th Taft official family. It has been a matter of comment that Pecretarle ftlmson and Meyer have been frequent visitors to Colonel Roosevelt's offices In New Tork. or hi home at Oyster Bny. These visits were accepted aa proof that Taft and Roose velt were not wholly estranced. Thar Is a arret deal of speculation tonlcht as to the probable attitude of the mem ber In the Cabinet. If their support a Riven to Colonel Roosevelt their reslKnatlona may b expected. o far as Secretary dtlmson Is con cerned. It Is known that ha entered the Taft Cabinet unhampered aa to future poll: lea I activity. Colonel Roosevelt Is known to be one of th men he consulted before accepting th war portfolio, and It la amid upon un questioned authority that he stipulated he should not be expected to do cam- palirn work. Tet he haa accepted an Invitation to speak In Chicago on March 4 at the Taft Club meeting. Only aa recently aa last Friday Secretary Meyer met a rumor that ha waa about to resign with this statement: "If I remain In the Cabinet, aa I In ten.i to do. It Is quite evident that my loyalty will be with my chief." Many who Inquired aa to th phrase- aiocy of the Roosevelt letter were tent upon learning whether It waa made clear that the Colonel would be a can didate only until the Chicago conven tlon made Its choice. Many political leaders professed to believe that If th Colonel failed to get the nomination he would head a third party. Third-Party Idea IMerredlted. Kven before the Roosevelt letter was received, the bureau which has charge of his interests issued a statement de n Ing the third-party rumor. The let ter issued from New York waa taken as positive evidence that Mr. Roose velt had no such purpose. It waa reiterated tonight by friends of the President that he waa willing to let stand hla announcement of sev eral weeks ago that nothing but death would take him out of the flghr for the nomination. The Rooaevelt letter waa read to Ker.aiora La, Follett and Cummins, cot n avowed candldatea for th R publican nomination, but neither would make any comment. The Woodrow Wilson and tha Jud- sun Harmon headquarters issued state ments expressing their delight at the muddying of Republican waters, and several prominent Democratic leader took occasion to predict an easy task for their party In the coming cam paign.

Then ha added with a chuckle: "I am having a quiet, literary even ing. I haven't talked politics with anyone."

Statements recently made that the ex Presldent would take such action are declared to be without foundation. "That such a proposition has been made to Colonel Roosevelt haa not been denied.

It would be well to give the people a chance, to express their sentiments at the. polls, an inde pendent party being formed to place Colonel Roosevelt's name before them.

PETITIONS ARE STILL OUT Party Lender Kxprese Disappoint ment and Chagrin Nottingham Says Colonel Not Flavins; Fair With President. Announcement by Roosevelt that he would be a candidate for the Presl dency, although not wholly unexpected. came aa a surprise to many Oregon Re publicans. The surprise Tas occasion ed from the belief that Roosevelt. In view of his positive anti-third-term declarations of four years ago. would withstand any pressure that might be applied to force him Into the contest at this time. Assurance that Roosevelt will be a candidate before the Chicago conven tion will serve only to Incite the sup porters of President Taft to redouble their efforts In his behalf. Circulation of Taft petitions has been under way In several counties for ten days, and probably three times the required num ber of signatures for placing his name on the ballot have been obtained. These petitions will be gathered in the first of next week and arranged for filing In the Secretary of State's of fice prior to March 9, the final day for filing. PetKloaa Still Clrenlated. Oliver M. Hlckey. who has assisted to circulate Roosevelt petitions, said last night that although more than enough names had been signed, the pe titions would not be filed with the Sec retary of State until Wednesday. Ad ditional names will be obtained today and tomorrow. "I am glad to learn 'that Mr. Roose velt has finally Ylecided to become a candidate." aald Mr. Hlckey. 'Aa soon aa hla nominating petitions have been filed, some plan of organization work In his behalf throughout the state probably will be outlined. From the response shown by Republicans In signing his petition there is no doubt but that Roosevelt will carry the state." Thomas McCusker. who la managing "-a toilette's campaign In Oregon, did not manifest any surprise last night wnen apprised that Roosevelt had agreed to become a candidate. In fact, be evidently was In possession of ad vance information concerning th course decided, upon by the ex-Presl dent. Active Caadldacy Surprises. 'I had anticipated that Roosevelt's answer would be to the effect that he would accept the nomination If It should be tendered to hlra," said Mr. McCusker. "But I did not understand that he would be an active candidate. The purpose of the progressive leaders In opposing President Taft has always been to bring about the election of as any progressive delegates to the Re publican National convention and then unite that strength In the support of the candidacy of Roosevelt.

W. Nottingham, chairman Repub lican state central committee Taft sentiment Is so strong throughout the country that he Is sure of the nomlna tlon at the Chicago convention. There Is no denying that Roosevelt Is not playing fair with Taft. Having brought Taft out for President, Roose velt should not only consent to giving him another term, but should also get In and assist In his re-election. Actio la Disappointment. D. O. Lively: I am greatly disap pointed In Mr. Roosevelt. That he should take the action ha has Is more than a, surprise to me. There Is no call for his coming out ss a candl date. The country does not require his services at this time. Taft has made good and he Is entitled to an other term. I feel as badly over the course Roosevelt has adopted as though an intimate personal friend bad gone back on me. W. B. Ayer: I regard the action of Mr. Roosevelt as one of the most la mentable things that baa happened In the history of th Nation. I always hav been a great admirer and sup pcrter of Mr. Roosevelt, but the tra dltlons that have been banded down together with our written Constitution sre too sacred to be dealt with in such a light and changeable manner as Mr. Roosevelt bas assumed. He has de clared on more than one occasion that he would respect the traditions of. Wsshlngton and our other great Pres Idents and would not again be a can dldate. I can only be grieved at hla decision. . Ananias Club Growing. John F. Logan, secretary Portland Taft committee I am convinced that Roosevelt has made up his mind that President Taft cannot be nominated and Is afraid that La Follette or Cum mins or some one else would be nom inated and shut him (Roosevelt) out aa a candidate for the Presidency for four or eight years. By the time another eight years have rolled around Roose velt would have made enough more enemies and Increased the membership of the Ananias Club sufficiently that their number alone would be adequate to defeat him for the Presidency or any other office to which he might as pire. Dr. Henry W. Coe Although I am friendly toward President Taft, I feel It Is up to th Republicans to nominate a man they are certain of electing. I am certain Mr. Roosevelt would not consent to be a candidate except for the fact that a very great pressure has been brought to bear on him. I be lieve he Is putting his personal views to one side to answer a call from the people In which he must feel that what he may have said or thought some years ago must be made subsidiary to the call from the people. I believe be will carry Oregon by a large vote. I. W. W. ROUTS PREACHERS Anarchistic Remarks of Leader of Band Make Clergymen Leave Hall. SPOKANE. Wash, Feb. 25.- When Rev. U. A.

The President smiled as the hundred men present cheered. Dean Jones referred In his speech to the improvement In the moral atmo sphere of the college and said the stu dents were taking the Initiative In consulting with him even in such things as prohibiting billiard playing In the clubs on Sunday. "To sit here," the President said laughingly," and hear Dean Jones tell of the moral tone at Tale and com pare It to wbat It was In my day. Is an Indication that we are progressive at Tale. To go to the dean and ask If 11 Is proper to play billiards on Sun day certainly is changing some."

Capital and Surplus $ 1 ,400,000 JOHNSON AROUSES "PROGRESSIVE" IRE Many Insurgents in California Decline to Be Delivered to Colonel. TAFT LEAGUE IS FORMING Governor's Attitude of Glvlnjr Over Support of Wing of Party to Roosevelt Resented Candi dacy of President Favored. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 25. (Spe cial.) The "progressive" wing of the Republican party In California, or, at least a very large percentage of that element, gives promise of enrolling it self within the next few days as a Taft league, pledged to work for the renomlnatlon and election of Presi dent Taft. The Interesting fact developed at a meeting of prominent "progressives" yesterday afternoon, that leaders among the "progressive" Republicans In this city are unqualifiedly opposed to the third-term aspirations of The odore Roosevelt, refuse to be tagged and delivered to Roosevelt's managers by Governor Johnson and his political managers, and are unequivocally pledged to the support of Taft because among other things, he represents the integrity of the tariff policy of the Re publican party, the civilized sentiment or "peace among nations" and other principles that make up the progres sive sentiment of the country. Many Close to Governor. Those who have already identified themselves with the Taft "progressive" movement include men who took an active part In the "progressive" cam paign that resulted in the election of Hirara Johnson to the gubernatorial chair. They would have It understood that they were In full sympathy with the "progressive" principles on which that state campaign was waged, but that their support of Johnson on a set of principles dealing with state ques tions does not entitle Johnson to de liver the "progressives" to whatever Presidential candidates his political In terests may prompt htm to Indorse from time to time In the course of a Presidential campaign. President Taft Is declared by these "progressives" to be the logical candi date to succeed himself and they set forth In a plain and straightforward declaration of principles and purposes their reasons for giving him their sup port. They ask all the "progressives" of the state to get under the same banner. Taft League Formed. The Taft League of Progressive Re publicans Is the name of the organiza tion which Is being brought into exist ence by the progressives to aid In the renomlnatlon of Taft. A temporary organization was formed at a meeting held yesterday afternoon. That a declaration of principles was i then drawn up and subscribed to by those present. The declaration follows in part: "As progressive Republicans we are opposed to the political ascendancy of special interests and assert our adher ence to the principles of the Republi can party. "We favor the nomination and re election of President W. H. Taft and assign the following reasons why Cali- fort-'o is especially interested in his candidacy. "Taft was elected as a progressive Republican to carry out the policies of his illustrious predecessor. His nomination was due solely to the pro gressive sentiment of the country. "Taft has always manifested strong friendship- for California. It is common knowledge that the Panama- Pacific Exposition would have gone to New Orleans but for the assistance of the President. "There is a strong tendency to di vert the Republican party from Its fundamental principles, but we believe that the welfare of the United States will be best promoted by adherence to the policies of the party unrfftr which the country has always prospered." State Haa Much to Gain. "California, at least, has much to gain from the policies of the Repub lican party and has cause for deep gratitude to President Taft, who Is the best friend this state has ever had in that office. "We condemn the unfair crtlclsm of Mr. Taft and his Administration, which have sprung from unjust prejudice and a sensational political tendency. "We request all citizens of California to Join the campaign for the nomina tion of President Taft." , Only Olive OH Is "Sweet Oil." WASHINGTON. Feb. 25.

BEST TREATMENT FOR GROUP If your child has ever had croup, you need no description of the symptoms, but to the inexperienced, the peculiar ringing cough is often unnoticed until the disease Is well under way. A child may go to bed at night In his usual health, except perhaps a cold, only to awaken a few hours later with a well- developed attack of croup and the re mainder of the night is spent by the anxious parents in trying to relieve his suffering, which is usually more or less experimental. It 13 usually difficult to secure the services of a physician in the middle of the night, and he should never be depended upon as the case must be treated at once. A bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in the house will save anxiety, expense and perhaps the life of the child. When this medicine Is given at the first Indi cation of croup, the attack may be avoided, and even after the croupy cough has appeared, it will prevent the attack. We have never known it to fail to effect a cure in any case of croup, and It Is, we believe, in more general use In the United States for that dis ease than any other remedy.
