Ohioans Call For Taft Backed Reform In Ohio
Representative T R Langdon of Warren County traveled to Washington at Charles P Taft's urging to urge the President toward broader reforms and a more progressive Republican party in Ohio. Langdon advocates Canadian reciprocity and says Ohio Republicans support the plan though few representatives side with it in the state House. President Taft will visit Columbus Friday and may address the legislature if invited.

Democrats charge plot to pack Missouri and win at large
Democrats in Congress allege a Republican plan to redraw districts so Missouri would gain seats and send 14 representatives to 16, or even elect the entire delegation at large if redistricting fails. They warn the plan could leave Missouri solidly Republican in the Sixty third Congress, while Republicans predict victory when reapportionment is decided.

Taft Opposes Big Spending on Aeroplanes for Army
President Taft opposes heavy military aviation expenditure while aviation remains embryonic for warfare. He doubts pilots can judge ground conditions from four feet up over the Mexican border and suggests allowing other nations to develop air use first. The War Department considers seven aeroplanes and aviators offered by International Aviators for Texas border scouting, with Gen. Wood to decide. Gen. Bliss notes California officers trained by Glenn Curtiss can safely handle needed aircraft in Texas.
