Taft IB Nominated.
New York , Aug. 26. The Outlook , of
which Theodore Roosevelt Is contrib
uting editor , prints in Its current edi
tion nn eulogy of Gov. Woodrow Wil
son of New Jersey.
Henry B. Nccdham , who when Col.
Roosevelt was president , ranked as
ono of the "official press agents of the
administration , " Is the author of the
article.
New York politicians are wondering
if there Is a political significance to
this fact.
Col. Roosevelt , since the defeat of
his candidate for governor at the last
election , Henry L. Stlmson , now a
member of President Taft's official
family , has refused to take any part in
republican politics in this state. The
man whom ho most bitterly denounced
at Saratoga , William Barnes , jr. , is
now chairman of the republican state

go to the next national convention ho
, will personally have to ask them for
that honor.
