THE GEORGIAN’S NEWS BRIEFS.
NEWS OF WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 25, 1911
PROGRESSIVES OPENLY *
OPPOSE PRESIDENT TAFT
Washington.—With the hope of In
trenching Itself In the public confidence
as the militant advocate of progressive
legislation, the National * Progressive
Republican league is openly opposing
the rcnumlnation of William Howard
Taft for the presidency.
The league hopes to strengthen the
popular Impression that Taft is a reac
tionary and in thorough sympathy with
the “old guard.” The president does
not propose, however, to allow the
league to take the wind out of his sails
In'this fashion. In his two remaining
years of office he hopes to prove himself
a sound and sane progressive and re
gain much of the popular .support tl».»t
was lost thru the passage of the Payne-
Aldrlch tariff.
There is no denying the fact that
seasoned Republican managers arc
afraid of the new organization. The
president himself is said to feel that
the league Is a direct menace to his
nomination In 1912. and is not making
the mistake of underestimating Its in
fluence. Vitality Is assured to the new
movement by the presence among its
organizers and supporters of Jonathan
Bourne, of Oregon; Charles R. Crane,
of Chicago, and Gifford PInchot. All of
111• ■ v *■ in* r. have ample fortunes and
have shown a disposition not to be
niggardly In supporting any movement
which they conceive to be for the pub
lic good. PInchot and Crane are bitter
enemies of Taft, in fact, most of the
members of the league are anti-Taft
men.
The relation of Colonel Roosevelt to
\the league Is a matter of endless spec-
illation. Some say the organizers of the
movement declined the co-operation of
the ex-president because they feared
the public might regard It os merely an
instrument to promote the third-term
movement. Others say Roosevelt has
refused to come out in the open against
Taft.
