AMERICAN PRESIDENCY.
SUPPLANTING MR. TAFT. A SUBTERRANEAN MOVE. By Cable—Press Association--Copyright. Washington, January 7. According to responsible newspapers the Republican leaders aro supporting a subterranean movement to supplant Mr. Taft's candidature by that of Mr. Roosevelt, because Mr. Roosevelt is more likely to carry the country. The Sun alleges that Mr. Roosevelt is cognisant of the Insurgents' movement, and has moreover shown little repugnance to joining the campaign to discredit Mr. Taft. The situation is almost unprecedentedly difficult and delicate, and only Mr. Roosevelt's categorical statement that he will not accept nomination would clear the air. Such a statement is not expected, anyhow at present.. Meanwhile Mr. Taft's friends are not discouraged, believing that the dignity of Mr. Taft's attitude, compared with the methods of the Insurgents or Mr. Roosevelt's attacks on the administration must tell in Mr. Taft's favor. The Democrats are threatened with a recrudescence of Bryanism.
