Taft Buttons Reach This State.

The first consignment of Taft buttons was received at republican state headquarters at Indianapolis Tuesday. It consisted of 10,000 buttons, which Secretary Riddick says is “only sufficient to relieve the immedia'e and pressing demand.’’ From all over Indiana are pc uring in requests for Taft buttons, and Mr. Riddick promises that a further supply of 100,000 will be forthcoming later, and that they will be dfstributed equitably through the county committees. The buttons re ei e<l Tuesday were in three designs. One represents the presidential candidate and his running mate, Mr. Sherman. Another is Mr. Taft surmounting all eagle. This is a very pretty design done in colors. The third is a small button and presents Mr. Taft’s smiling face with the following introduction: “For President, William H. Taft.”
