Sentiment Growing In Big Republlcen Stetee That He le Only Men ef Hie Party Who Can Be E looted Thio Year—Voters Satisfied With Admin- ietration’a Polieiee. President William H. Taft Is on • fair road to reborn! nation ue the Re publican standard bearer in the cam- pnlgn of 1912. With approximately JOO delegates to the Chicago conven tion nlready Instructed for him. the president Is more than likely to break ills I-H ord of 1998. when he was nomi nated with 702 votes on the first bal lot in the Chicago convention of that year There Is no longer any question that lie will be renominated, and ths only question now puzzling the mana gers of the Taft eumpalgn is the com pleteness of his victory. Coupled with the assurance of bls renoudnntluu Is the growing sentiment in the big Republican states both east and west that President Taft is the only Republican candidate who can possibly be elected this fall. It will be recalled readily enough that when Mr. Tuft took office three years ago. March 4 last, the great Issues of tariff with the alternative of a change In administration, a change In policies and a continuation of business depres sion and general unrest. In estimating the probabilities of President Taft's renomluatlou and re election it is necessary to recur only to recent history The president car ried every northern state In 1998. Be tween the election of that year and 1910 occurred the tariff legislation known as the Payne tariff law. It Is a well known maxim of politics that that party which revises the tariff is defeated at the next election, and the only exception to the rule in recent years was the passage of the Dingley law. which was followed so closely by the outbreak of the Spanish-American war as to bury the tariff issue In a wave of patriotic enthusiasm The more recent by-elections In the big Re publican states east of the Mississippi river, notably in New York. New Jer sey and Pennsylvania, have shown a return of Republicans to the fold and u restoration of the old time Republic an majorities, which justifies the pre diction that they will be safely In the Taft column In November. That they will so unanimously support any other Republican candidate, particularly If the third term issue is injected into the fight, is denied by the best In formed leaders in those states. As to the nomination there is no longer any doubt but that President Taft will have a majority ot the dele gates both from the north and the south. New England will be practical ly If not entirely solid for him. He will have sweeping victories lu New York. Pennsylvania and the other mid die Atlantic states. Ohio has never yet failed to support a favorite son candidate or failed to cast its electoral Vote for a Republican candidate for president. Indiana. Illinois. Iowa, Mis souri. Minnesota. Kansas.
