Ralph M. Easley tells William Loeb about a recent talk he had with Archbishop John Ireland, and is confident he said what the Star reported him saying. Easley discusses the impressions various groups have regarding the potential nomination Secretary of War William H. Taft or Secretary of the Treasury George B. Cortelyou as the Republican presidential candidate. He warns that organized labor seems to be set against Taft, as is “organized capital,” and is worried that there is not anyone who will be able to beat William Jennings Bryan.
