INDIANA FOR TAFT JIM WATSON SAYS

Former Congressman Now Believes It Wise to Nominate President.

RUSHVILLK, Ind., Dec. 20 James K. Watson, former congressman, who has just returned from Washington, where he has b.'en atendlng the meeting of the national Republican committee, gave out the following Interview today: "Taft is not strong in central Indi8 tin, but has gained in strength in the last ninety days. I thought for some time that it wou'd be unwise to nominate him, but have become convinced that It Is probably the best thing to do. was personally aroused to hostility by his reciprocity policy. I did not believe in it then and I do not now, and J had many bouts with Mr. Taft in reytird to It. "In the next place I have not. liked Ms appointments. A great many were made without regard to the Republican party, Its past or present, without reference to political conditions. In looking over the whole situation, however, east and west and I have traveled extensively throughout the country In the last ninety days I have come to the conclusion that tho best thing the party can do is to renominate him. Must Stand by Record. "In the first place we must stand by ;the record of his administration, if we ire to stand at all. If we repudiate his administration we have no basis whatever upon which to justify seeking a (Vote of confidence by the people. If we tottempt to stand by the record of his 'administration and yet repudiate the (man who made the administration we fdiall be placed in a very ridiculous tend inconsistent position, one that icould not fall to destroy us. "In the next place it is very doubtWul whether or not Roosevelt could be elected. After considerable mixing

vlth eastern people I have come to the conclusion that he cannot carry a sinpie state. He has openly advocated ini

tiative, the referendum and the recall even of judges, and eastern people do iot stand for either of those doctrines. "It is very doubtful whether or not he could carry Indiana, for the Demo

crats are feeling very hopeful and confident and ninety-nine out of one hundred will vote the national Democratic ticket, feeling that it is the first chance they have had to elect a President for many years. On the other hand there are thousands of Republicans in Indiana who would not vote for Roosevelt, believing, as they do, that he Is directly responsible for the disintegration of the Republican party and the present condition of business and that four years more of administration by him may leave a more direful result. Administration Defensible. "In addition to this it may be remarked that Taft's administration has done a great many things worthy of commendation. His record on the trust question is admirable, one possible objection being that he may have carried it too far in some instances. His veto of the Democratic tariff bills passed toward the cloe of the last session has reinstated him on the good graces of all protectionists. On the whole, therefore, the record of his administration is fairly defensible and I doubt very seriously whether or not we could better ourselves by swapping hosscs at this time. "Taft has been very kind to me, personally, having offered me various positions that some office seekers would be glad to have, and I am very fond of him as a man, but I am such a vigorous Republican of tho old school that I have at times lost patience and have criticised him freely for his lack of steadfastness and his apparent disposition to wabble at times. "After taking a conservative survey of the entire situation 1 am fully convinced that the best thing to do is to nominate him and to make a most vigorous campaign to elect him."

(Palladium Special)

CINCINNATI, Dec. 20 The world j is to be produced in miniature next March, in Cincinnati, and 12,000 Cin- j cinnatians are preparing to imperson- j ate the people of all nations in "The -World in Cincinnati" exposition, j

which is to be held in Xhe Music hall In Cincinnati from March 9th to April 6th, 1912. The purpose of the exposition is to

show the progress of t'hristian civili-; zation in every part of the world. In order to do this in a most effective!

way, life-like scenes of foreign lands and sections of America in which the work of missionaries is carried on, will be set up in the Music hall. Each section will be surrounded by beautifully painted scenery, reproducing parts of foreign lands and of our own country. Inside of these scenes there will be erected buildings, which will be deplications of the structures which a visitor to a foreign city might look upon. In all there will be between 30 and 40 of these sections. Twelve thousand people, who ate being enrolled as volunteer helpers for the exposition, from 200 churches of Cincinnati and vicinity, will impersonate the natives of each country, and most of them will wear characteristic costumes. They will have prepared themselves by careful study to answer the questions of visitors and explain everything which a person may see at the exposition. The first exposition of this kind was held in London in 1908 and was called "The Orient in London." It occupied the Royal Agricultural .hall, an immense structure in the city of London. Last spring a similar exposition was held in Boston, known as "The World in Boston,'" which attracted between 350,000 and 375,000 visitors from all over New England. It is expected that "The World in Cincinnati" exposition will bring to Cincinnati thousands of visitors from Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky, and probably lesser numbers from points more remote. Visitors will see a section of a Japanese street, true to life; a Chinese village complete in every detail; a group of huts from Central Africa; a characteristic scene from India; a section devoted to Mohammedan lands, a

demonstration of the native life of American Indians, and an explanation of the work which is being done to turn the endless processions of immigrants into good American citizens and God-fearing men and women. The great musical feature of "The World in Cincinnati" will be the Pageant of Darkness and Light, in which several hundred persons will participate. This is a musical drama of great events in the history of missions. There are five brilliant episodes, full of life, action, and color, taken from the four corners of the earth. The pageant will be presented in the Auditorium of the Music hall every afternoon and evening during the exposition. The pageant was first present

ed in London, Engjand, in 1908. Its second presentation was in connection

with "The World in Boston" exposition, and it was the great musical sensation of Boston in the Spring of 1911. The total expenses of "The World in Cincinnati" exposition are estimated at $85,000. A group of business men in Cincinnati are subscribing to a guarantee fund amounting thus far to $45,000. It is not the purpose of the exposition to make any profit, but to spread accurate knowledge of the great work of Christianizing the world. It is the expectation, however, to make all expenses and repay any amount which the guarantors advance. Should there be any profit, ii will be turned over to the Missionary Exposition company for the further

ance of missionary eduaction. The officers of "The World in Cincinnati" are, president, Wb. E. Hutton; vice president. D. B. Meacham; treasurer, G. A. Mayer; secretary, John W. Perkins, all of Cincinnait. The board of directors of 25 men, includes many well known business men in Cincinnati, such as J. T. Carew, J. N. Gamble, C. A. Hinsch, J. P. Orr, W. Cooper Proctor, George Puchta, W. Kesley Shcoepf and Peter G. Thomson.
