MASQUERADE BALL HERE WEDNESDAY WISE TURKEYS TRAINING DOWN EOR THANKSGIVING WHY SINK WITH TAFT. IS THE CRY “Organization” Men See Doom of Party If He Is Elected OhioPajier Up in Arms. M There are indications here that so called "orgamratmu" Republicans are getting ready to ditch Taft I'p until three or four days ago they were as mum as oysters on the quo* tiou of Taft’s caudidancy for reaomina- tion. Like all good bread and butter politician» they were waiting to see whirfi wav the cat ;uin|ie<l so they could jump the same way. But this week there has lieen a no tice« Ide change in tbeir attitude. These same Republican leaders mid ob- holderi have begun to talk openly against Taft'« renotn ¡nation. To an impartial observer it looks ar if the word bail been passed down ttie line from "lea-hirs up above.’’ There can lie no doubt that many of the Republican job-holders who are now openly knocking Taft are doing so from unrely selfish motives. One Repnbli- «P who holds a state position, was frank enough to put it this way: " Taft will he beaten if lie ia renom inated, and he will carry Republican candidates in all parts of the country down to defeat with him. Why aboulil all of us sink just because he ia rink- Ing?" Furthermore, word conies to Coluin- bns from out over the stat« that post masters generally are extremely wor ried lest Taft ia renominated. They, too, would lose out if Taft should lie de feated . The opposition to Taft among Repub licans who heretofore have lieen count ed his staunch supporters has not reach ed the stage where they are naming the men who should be nominated. They agree, however, that a progressive must lie named. «Uiis new opposition to Taft is entirely <!' »net from that of the so-called in surgent and progressive Republicans who are organising in different parts of the state to tight for the nomination of La Follette, or some other Republican of his type. They are headeii in the same general direction, hilt their motives are as far apart as the poles.— Columbus Despatch.
