NINE GOVERNORS WILL
SUPPORT WM. TAFT
Tenor, of Pennsylvania, Among
Otlicrs, Gives Reasons Ho Pre
dicts His He-election.
Washington, Feb. 2S. Nino Re
publlcan Governors of States of tho
Union to-day united In tendering
their unqualified support to Presi
dent Taft for renomlnatlon and re
election. They havo unanimously
Joined in predicting that Mr. Taft
will bo re-elected in November and
have said that ho Is to-day tho
Btrongest candidate tho 'Republican
party can nominate as its standard
hearer at the Republican national
convention in Chicago, Juno IE. In
mis respect President Taft has gonot
colonel Roosevelt one better, tho
latter having tho indorsement of
only eight Governors for his candi
dacy Tho executives, going on record
In favor of the President's renomlna
tlon, aro:
Eberhart, Minnesota.
Carroll, Iowa.
Hay, Washington.
Goldsborough, Maryland.
Toner, Pennsylvania.
Hooper, Tennessee.
Spry, Utah.
Pennewlll, Delaware.
Pothler, Rhode Island.
In addition to the signed state
ment, made public, the Taft man
agers claimed the support of Gov
ernors Deneen, Illinois; Oddie, Ne
Tada and Mead, Vermont.
Governors Give Reasons.
The nino Governors who havo
come out for President Taft all take
the position that his record entitles
him to renomlnatlon and election.
Following are the more striking ex
tracts taken from the Governors'
despatches:
Eberhart, Minnesota
President Taft's administra
tion, measured by all standards
of accomplishments and fidelity
to duty, entitles him to the in
dorsement of a second term,
which I believe the inherent
sense of fairness and Justice of
the American people will un
grudgingly give him.
Carroll, Iowa
There is no justice in the op
position to President Taft. His
administration has been clean
and capable and in harmony
with platform pledges. A just
and righteous application of the
square deal would accord his
renomlnatlon without a con
test. Hay, Washington
Few administrations can
point to the enactment of so
many wise nnj-progressive laws
as that of President Taft's.
I feel It the duty of every true
progressive Republican to sup
port Mr. Taft for renomlna
tlon and re-election.
GoldsboroiiKli, Maryland
It Is my opinion that Presi
dent Taft has given the coun
try one of the best administra
tions in its history. I firmly
believe that when the record
of the Republican party under
his wise leadership is fully
made known to the people they
will rally to his standard, re
nominate and re-elect him.
Tencr, Pennsylvania
In view of the able manner
In which President Taft has
conducted his office, the con
structive and substantial
achievements of his administra
tion i unhesitat
ingly predict his re-election.
Hooper, Tennessee
President Taft is personally
popular in Tennessee and his
administration commands gnn
oral public confidence. The
Mate organization is loyally
supporting the President and
rrom present indications he will
rrot the vote of Tennessee in the
national convention.
Spry, I'ljih
I am glad to relterato my
personal preference for Mr
m Taft as Presidential nominee.'
I regard him as tho
most logical as well as tho
strongest man whoso name has
jnont'onod In connection
