It was decided that an active campaign would be mado to carry the district for Taft and the republican national commit tee has promised to send d speaker here from among the inoflt prominent men of tho party. 1 Postmaster Din- muko states that this speaker will probably be either Senator Beveridge of Indiana, or Hon. Leslie M. Shaw.
