Va.. where Judge Taft has* been staying since his re? tirement, from office, says: There was great excitement and much argufying among the little group of Mr. Taft s friends, well-wishers and friendly poll ttcans when he announced late yes? terday afternoon that he would go to Oyster Pay to consult the President about his speech of acceptance. Some favored the move and others deprecat? ed it. Some were sure they discerned political advantage In It, and others feared It would turn out detrimental')'. One faction held that It savored of too much dependence upon President Roosevelt, of yielding to his Judgment upon a speech, to whose effect upon the people Mr. Taft and not Presi? dent Roosevelt Is to be either tha j beneficiary or tha victim/ The other side contended that in the present temper of the people of I tha fiddle West, where the battle is to be fought, Mr. Taft will make ten friends to one lost in the East, by let? ting the country' understand at every turn that he is in thorough sympthy with President Rooseve't and his pol iceies; that the president approves of his utterances and that there is not the slightest breaking away from President Roosevelt, but, on the con? trary, the closest afflillatlon with him and his political doctrines. This faction was in the majority, and commended Taft for going open? ly to Oyster. Bay to show his manu? script to the president and demon? strate to the country his Intimate re? liance upon the president's Judgment. These men pointed out that already there are demands for President Roosevelt's presence in the coming campaign, to hold the radical Repub? licans Into line, and they went on to say that ff there is such a con? dition in the party there is every rea? son to show to the country now the Intimate sympathy between the pres? ident and Mr. Taft. Mr. Taft himself was very frank about the case. In a little Informal talk with the newspaper men he said ha desired to consult the president about the speech. Ha had great ad? miration far the president's po'itlcal Judgment and the president had been kind enough to interest himself In Mr. Taffs behalf. He therefore concluded to take the manuscript In person and go over It with the pres? ident. He said, in reply to a ques? tion, tha: he did not know whether any one else would be present at the conference or not, but that If Secre? tary Roo: should be in the neighbor? hood, he would be glad to have him read It also. ? There was considerable speculation as to tha aource of the suggestion, which led to Mr. Taft s determination to taks up his speech with the presi? dent. In answer to a question Mr. Taft said the suggestion came from himself. There was much curiosity lo know whether Chairman Hitch? cock, who Is now In the West feeling the radical pulse, advised for or against ;he move. The proposition hag been under consideration for sev? eral days, and was decided yesterday. Mr. Taft Intended to keep It quiet un? til today, so as to avoid being be? sieged en route, but the news came out at Oyster Bay. gompkrs for BllVAN. Democratic Editorial to Appear In Federal Ionl*t.
