TAFT TO CARRY MISSOURI.
C. S. Jobes Back from Chicago Thinks
Republican Candidate Has a Chance.
Kansas City's contingent to the Chicago convention returned yesterday, all of them enthusiastic over the results.
"It was not a great convention from a numerical point of view," said Mr. C. S. Jobes, one of the alternates from this district, "but it was a great one, in the work it did. We all know Mr. Taft and we all know him to fill the specifications for president. Congressman Sherman is fully up to the standard. About Mr. Taft's age, or perhaps a year or two older. Mr. Sherman is an ideal running mate. He is not an orator, but he is a forceful speaker, logical in his deductions, of splendid physique and has great endurance. The men are right and so is the platform. Missouri went into the convention in excellent shape, the delegation being on good terms within itself, and with the enthusiasm the Chicago convention warrants, we will carry the state. There is nothing the Democrats can do to beat us. They could not make a ticket so good that they could get Missouri from Taft and the Taft men."
Senator William Warner, who attended the convention and who was put on the notification committee, will not arrive here till about Wednesday or Thursday. I will be a month before the campaign begins by the start at organizing. Senator Warner will not take an active part in it further than making speeches at large central points, his health being too precarious.
