TAFT INVITED TO ILLINOIS Wanted at the State Convention, but Can't Attend TarifTKeTiBion. ITot Sprinjrs. Va.. An jr. 20. Optimis tic political Information was b'-ouxht to Judjre Taft from several sources yes terday. Though he participated In several conferences none of them, he said, was at his Initiative. Senator Hopkins, of Ililnois. who has been In Wash;njr,ton to attend the meet'nj of the Burrows committee of the joint tariff commission, wantpl Taft to be present Sept. f) at the Republican state convention, at Spr'njrfield. 111. A plat form is to be adopted at this conven tion, nnl trustees of the state univer sity nominated. If Taft would attend. Hopkins said, arrangements would be made to open the state campaign at that time. The national candidate, however, said it would be impossible for him to accept the invitation, but if a speech making tour for Taft is de cided upon Illinois will be included. Senator McCumber, of North Dako ta, hringing with him James Kennedy. Republican national committeeman from that state, was an unannounced visitor. Taft was made to know that North Dakota wanted to be Included In any speech making itinerary that might be arranged for his execution. Senator Hopkins, who is chairman of a subcommittee of the tariff com mission having to do with the fix?ng of schedules on articles of import which come in competition with T'nitei States manufactures, said lie should call his committee Into action in the near future. The tariff, be believed, .would develop into the chief isue of the campaign. It was also his opinion that the revision which was to be pre pared for this summer and enacted at a special session, would result In the reduction of many schedules and the adoption of a maximum and minimum tariff which would include in the lat ter clas3 a sufficient number of articles to make this method of dealing with foreign nations much more effective ! .
