Show President Will not Dictate Platform. Beverly, Mass. President Taft on Saturday stated with striking empha sis the position he is taking on Republican Re-publican state platforms and candi dates. The president does not think he should be called upon to write the party declarations in the different com monwealths or to name men for any of the elective offices. A president, it was intimated, has a pretty big job on his hands when he undertakes to fulfill all the pledges in the national platform and to bring congress around to the same way of thinking. |
