I do not believe that Taft e.un carrv Ohio. Indiana.

A deep feeling of resentment -is dally increasing in strength against Taft, on account of th f resident's trying o force hi nomlna- ; Ion on the country.. Thus far this re- . sentment Is against Taft only, but It has weakened the president's ability and Influence as far aa helping another. , while apparently It ha not weakened his own vote-getting power for himself. A number of shrewd politicians opposed to Roosevelt's succeeding himself are -now beginning to believe that he must succeed himself that Taft must b eliminated, and Roosevelt must be sub stltuted. Roosevelt is -naturally tho second choice of the Fairbanks people. If Fairbanks cannot get It, he will want the oM ticket over agalp.
