On Board President Taft's Train, Columbus, Ohio, September 20—(Special to Daily Democrat)—From all over the country President Taft is receiving congratulatory messages today over his encounter with the “big stick at New Haven yesterday. “The most important political victory of recent times is yours,” is the way one of the United States senators put it. In a single step the friends of the executive say, Taft has gained the right to claim the active leadership of the republican party. His refusal to aid Colonel Roosevelt is taken as a determination to refuse to give up the leadership. The fact that Roosevelt sought the aid of Taft is taken as a confession of weakness on the colonel’s part. The president is highly commended for declining to break his rule against mixing in state politics.
