Taft Endorsed.

was done, and although our tw'
senators lifted up their might!
voices against endorsement a
this time, the committee heark
. ened not to the voice of the char
mers but rather chose to obey
the behest of their constituency,
Ohio, as every careful reader Of
the papers we'll knows, is on the
Taft side. The general senti-
ment throughout the state proved
more potent with the committee
than the eloquence of Foraker or
the whining of Dick.
And why not? Are these two
men the owners of the Republi-
can party in Ohio? Are they not
rather servants of the people? ?
The voice of the people is not al
ways the voice of God, but it is
more to be trusted than the voice
of any two persons out of har-
mony with the trend of their
party.
Our two senators are making
themselves ridiculous these days,
especially the senior senator. He
is very angry and spiteful and
without sufficient cause. Why
does he feel so hostile to Taft?
Is there any reason than because
Taft is in better favor with the
Republican voters? Senator For
aker declares that he himself is
not a candidate for. any office;
very well, then why not let 9TH
ers go their way in peace? Sec
retary Taft is a candidate for the
nomination for the presidency by
the next Republican national con-
vention, and since Senator Fora
ker is not, why does he show SO
much anger because Taft is likely
to receive the coveted prize?
The Republicans of Ohio are
bent on having an Ohio man in
the White House the next term,
and in VIM. H. Taft they see the
most available man for the place.
They mean to have his name go
before the convention as OhiO's
choice. We see nothing in all
this to make Senator Foraker
justly hostile. He could not pos
sibly pass muster himself at this
time, because he is out Of har-
mony with his party's trend.
This is obvious. His party may
be wrong and Foraker absolutely
right; but still the party rules,
not the senator.
Senator Foraker resents the
idea of being eliminated; well, he
is doing more to bring about his
elimination than any one else.
Why does he rave against the
president and the war secretary?
They are doing him no harm.
He is really harming himself.
He wants Taft to enter into a |
public debate with him on politi-
cal questions. The secretary has
no time for that. He is too busy
a man attending to the duties of
his Office. If Foraker wants a
public debate why does he not
accept the challenge Of Senator
Tillman of South Carolina? The
pitchfork man is keen for such a
fight, and he is a man Of real alb
ility, a man far worthy of Sena-
tor Foraker's steel. In such q
debate, if it could be brought a
bout, we venture to say that SEN
atOr Foraker would prove more
than a match to the radical FIRE
eater" Of South Carolina. But q
public debate with Taft might
