COCKBAN ON TAFT.

There Is a remarkable unanimity of opinion of Judge Taft in all parties and in all sections. Men pay tribute to his remarkable ability even where party politics may exert such an influence as to demand the espousing of the rival presidential candidate’s cause. As an illustration W. Bourke Cockran In an interview at Boston the other day said: "Yes, I shall support Bryan; he is the best candidate the. Democrats could put up. Taft, however, is the greatest and best qualified nominee ever offered tn any republic in the world. He is a greater man than Roosevelt, and when surrounded by the same environments that made Roosevelt great will prove a bigger man. Taft is a wonderful administrator. the greatest the country lias ever seen, aud Is a wonderful worker.”
