Notwithstanding it is 18 months be fore the convention, the fight may be said to be "well under way. Koraker is using every means to head off tlie Taft movement; 'he is bidding for the South ern vote by bis course in regard to the discliargo of the nepro troops, and has the support of corporation Sen- ators who have given up all expecta- tion of naminjar Fairbanks. The Vice President, however. was first in (he Southern field and bears the pledge of scores of influential Republican lead ers in that section, a fact that is apt to upset Foraker's plan of Kettinjr the solid South. Fairbanks Is apparently not aware that the corporations are afraid to nominate him, but ttierc is apt to be an awakening in the next year and a half. Kven if it comes, it will not deter him from Klng Into the convention. He ia ndianus favorite son, and is going to get all the credit that he can. Secretary Taft. being a receptive candidate, will, of course, do nothing in his own behalf. He has let his friends know that they can go ahead tf , they like, but they need not look to' him for support. He will pursue this course to the end, unless, in the meantime, the Chief Justice ot the Su preme Court tenders his resignation. In which event Taft would succeed him -and leave Koraker a clear field in Ohio. But for the time being it is a contest between merit and machine polities Koraker has the advantage of- all the wiles known to the political boss, but Taft, on his side, has the confidence of the people, and is at least regarded y financial and business men as perfectly safe and sound.
