Republican chief executive of an
overwhelming Republican city. He
had l in>: experiet c i i- a practical
politician of the better sort before a
reform wave swept him into office In
the noted recall election. As a mem-
ber of the State Legislature he be-
came nauseated at machine and cor-
poration methods and became forth-
with a militant insurgent of an ex-
ceeding!}' keen anil practical type.
In an interview publish al widely in
the West, Mayor Hilling throws a
strong light on the nature of the re-
ception tendered President Taft on
hts recent visit to Seattle. He says:
Seattle gave President Taft a cor-
dial reception, but that does not
mean that there was any wild enthus-
iasm over him, for there was not. It
Was enthusiasm for the office rather
than tne man.
I took part in tbe parade and pub-
lic affairs arraicnei for him, and I
am sure there were not one-tifth of
the people out to s._-e hi m or hear him
that were out to see Roosevelt last
•lay, an 1 there was nothing like the
enthusiasm over him that there was
over Roosevelt.
There was no Taft sentiment. I am
a republican myself, but 1 would not
vote for Taft if Wilson were a candi-
date acainst him. I found the same
conditions exsisting in the Middle
West when I spent some time there a
short time ago. There is a great deal
of Wilson talk back there, but no
sentiment for Taft.
Courtesy to the President sums up
the story of the crowds which greeted
Mr. Taft on the Coa-t. Oregon,Wash-
ington and California ..reivally more,
insurgent than Kansas or Nebra.-ka.
Repeated election results show that
between the people of the Pacific
States and an ultra->oo.-ervative type
there is not the slightest affinity.
Ma\or Hilling's interview is a better
index of coast sentiment than the
mere tact that vast crowds, actuated
by respect for the Presidential ollice
and natural curiosity to see i:s in-
cumbent, turned out to greet Mr.
Taft.
