TAFT IS CERTAIN
OF NOMINATION
Only Thing In Doubt Is Size ot
His Vote at Chicago.
MAY BREAK 1908 RECORD.
Sentiment Growing In Big Republlcen

Party Who Can Be E looted Thio

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
