Up to a month ago, it was quite certain that a majority of the committee was opposed to the to tho nomination of Secretary Taft Now Mr. Taft’s friends are claiming the control with all the confidence that Is characteristic of them. Mr. Frank Hitchcock, Taft’s campaign manager, is quite positive that more than half of tho members of the com mittee nro Bupporters of tho Secre tary.

In add-on, Mr| jlltchcock has communicated directly with the pommltleemcn themselves, wlt^ii all of whom, through his previous con nection with national campaignu, he Is well acquainted. Quite naturally, the Contest has not been one-sided. While Mr. Hitchcock and other friends of Secretary Taft have been working vigorously, the other candidates and their friends have not beqn idle. All realize not merely that tactical, but the practical advantages that will acruo to the can didate or candidates in control of tho commltee. It is unlikely, Indeed, that It may carry with It the power to niuke the nomination. In the course of the contest, an Im portant fact has been developed pret ty conclusively, that is, that the fight just now is Taft against the field. It is assured, substantially, that tho oth er candidates have formed a woricln„ agreement, by the terms /of which for certain purposes, they will stand as «. E.
