(AFL) visited President Truman
and asked that he run again.
Union President Hugo Ernst and
his associates reported that Mr.
Truman told them he had one or
two things he had to take care of
before he could make any an
nouncement.
Taft in his statement today sa|i
he has not wished to be a candidate
unless he is convinced that “a ma
jority of the Republicans really
want me to run.”
The statement was in response to
a letter from 13 Wisconsin party
leaders—some of whom have sup
ported Harold E. Stassen in past
national convention contests—urg
ing him to 4 enter the Wisconsin
presidential primary next April 1.
Taft said he appreciated the of
fer of support, but could not make
a decision until he has studied a re

potential strength being made by
David I. Ingalls of Cleveland and
Ben Tate of Cincinnati.
Ingalls is a cousin of Taft’s and
a former assistant secretary of the
navy for air. Tate was treasurer of
Taft’s Ohio campaign last year
when he won a third term in the
Senate by a resounding majority.

mean the addition of a large staff.
To get started, $300,000 was set
aside by the legislature for this
purpose.
The sales tax is Just another tax,
as are all new added taxes. They
go on, but never come off. Already
the initial appropriation is said to
be inadequate for the collection of
the tax and the commission has
been granted an additional $850,000
for the administration of the law.
