JOHN I. 8AYS TAFT
IS BEST FOR COUNTRY
Now York, Oct. 30. Friends of
Taft and Bryan aro discussing today
the statement made by John D.
Rockefeller In which ho declares tor
tho Republican presidential nominee
In what ho terms a "campaign of
personalities." Rockofellor declares
that the party lined ou various Is
sues aro not clearly defined by oot ti
er candldato and that the question
In his mind resolves Itself Into a
decision by tho voters as to who Is
the better man.
In dimming tho matter, the Oil
King said:
"It seomB to me at this time, when
the question is put directly to any
citizen, which candldato he shall
support for the presidency by hlo
voto ,he should bo manly enough to
answer It directly. I expect to cast
my voto for William H. Taft.
If for no other reason, I support
Mr Taft becajuse on comparing him
personally with Mr. Bryan, his chief
opponent. I find the balance at flness
directly on his side. The'olectlorj of
Mr T"ft 'vlll. I be'lev. make for
