"Why not Mr. Taft again?" asked Major Jonas M. Cleland, of Chicago, formerly major of Sioux City, Iowa! at the Wiilard. "The President has given, the country a splendid admin istration. There is absolutely no fault that can be found with the manner, in which Mr. Taft has con ducted affairs.

There is a determined fight being waged by Colonel Roosevelt's adherent in the State, but when the time comes to vote, hte President, in my Judgment, will get all the delegates. Of course he will carry the State in the elec tion. It Is my opinion that Mr. Taft not only will be renominated, but that he. will surely be re-elected. I do not agree with some of my Re publican brethren, who are dubious as to the outcome. I think we are going to win in the election. There is in fact no good reason for believ ing we shall not. The party will line up at the polls and cast its full vote in November, which will mean that the Republican nominee will be elected."
