the Madison State Journal says
The press of the country with practi
cal unanimity takes the view that yes
terday's developments have removed
all anxiety among republican leaders
as to where the state will be found in
the fall. The remarkable demonstra-
tions for Judge Taft and the pledges
of support given him by state leaders
regardless Ct their own personal
differences indicate that the republi
cans of the badger state will be found
in their usual places in November
rolling up the usual republican
majority. This will give cheer to
the distinguished nominee and his
managers and have wholesome n oral
effect on other states that have been
claimed as dou btful. The speeches
of Judge Taft ring true to the political
ideas that prevail in this section and
with his personal visit will have the
effect of rouslng ethusiasm that will
increase all along the line as election
day approaches. -

our people in war with every ma
ton on the globe. But the people
did not scare worth cent, and Roose-
velt was elected by the most tremend-
GUS pluralities ever given ANY presi-
Dental candidate, and when the presi-
dent declared that he would not run
again, Bryan with faint smile as
OF a man slowly recovering from a
solar plexus blow, allowed that is
the best news the democrats have
heard in long time. -
He takes a trip to Europe. He
comes back "a safer and saner"
man. So his worshipers proclaimed,
so the people fondly believed. But
the very moment he landed upon his
native heath again, he dashed in
pieces all these fond hopes and declar-
ed for the governmental ownership of
public utilities as the cure all of our
nationl ills.
Now, without repudiating one of
the follies for which he has stood
during the past twelve years. he
comes before the people and asks
that they give him the opportunity
to put into operation new reforms in
respect to trusts, and in respect to
guaranty of bank deposits, wholly
untried, wholly theoretical, and on
their face bearing evidence Of their
impracticabilty and of having been
devised by the ready brain of one
looking for plausible arguments rather
than real reforms. "-Milwaukee

The man without party is a
tramp, in his way, and his wander
lust of mind causes him to swing
fl ON one side to the other and back
again. He generally claims to be in
dependent and yet when the indepen-
dent editor Hearst puts up an In
dependent ticket he bolts from it as
he would from reptile. He knows
not where he is at. He has no party
affiliations and claims no party and
no party recognizes him, in fact he is
a wanderer politically who has lost
the respect of both parties. 1t is far
better not TO bolt your party just be-
cause few clauses of it's platform do
not please you or because you have a
personal enmity against one of. its
candidates. Stick by your party, be
it a winner or loser, and you will
have the respect and not the enmity
of both sides.

THE TAFT CANDIDACY.

The unqualified endorsement Sena-
tor La Toilette has given the candi-
dacy of Secretary Taft insures him
the electoral vote of Wisconsin The
stalwart faction in that state wa:
already in line for the secretary and
it is certain now that he will have
the full support of both factions.
The same is true of Iowa. Each
faction in. this state procIaims Its
loyalty to Taft from the housetops.
He is not mixing in the contest for the
senatorship and the electoral vote OF
Iowa will not be endangered by any
reprisals that the factions may make
upon each other.
In Illinois it is a contest between
the Deneen and anti-Deneen forces in
which no threats of hostility to Taft
are involved. The republicans of
Nebraska, South Dakota, Washington
and other western states are quarrel
ing over place and power within. the
state and on the congressional delega-
ton. 49, 49,.
Ohio and New York are the only
states in which fractional hostility ex-
tends to the presidential nominee. It
does not exist in Indiana, where Gov.
Hanly's calling of special session of
the legislature to pass county option
bill has occasioned local trouble.
Taft,s. course towards Foraker eince
Hearst's attack upon him will
diminish fractional bitterness in that
state, which we'll informed and dis
tinguished representatives of the re-
publican party consider as safe for
Taft as Vermont
The secretary is heir to some OF the
feeling against Roosevelt and Hughes
which exists in New York, but he is
as strong there as any other man who
could have peen named by the republi
can party. He is stronger than the
president would have been and strong
or than Hughes. The democracy of
the Empire state is united against the
governor, but it is not united in sup
port of Bryan. Taft will poll the
full strength of his party represented
at the polls and considerable num-
Der of democratic votes besides. He
has the confidence of the country,
while the east has no more confidence
in Bryan than it had twelve years
ago. Dubuque Times Journal.

WISCONSIN NOT DOUBTFUL.

Along about August and September
of most presidential campaigns the
ever hopeful democratic press and
politicians begin carrying number
of reliable republican states-in their
minds. This year Wisconsin has
been announced by them as "a doubt
full state" one that would furnish
good fghing ground. Four of the
presidential candidates have visited
the state during the campaign, three
of them during the past few days.
Nominee Hisgen, of Hearst's In
dependence party, made an address
at Milwaukee two weeks ago, and last
week both Taft and Bryan were at
Madison. Milwaukee and other Wis
cons;n cities, while Chain, the pro-
hibition nominee, has been fitting
around through the state all summer.
There is really about as much hope
for the democracy in Wisconsin in
November as there will be in Yer
mont, and we all know about how
much that is. Speaking with re-
ference to this, following the republic
can interest and enthusiasm created
by Judge Taft's visit last Thursday,

THE HISTORY OF BRYAN.

Those democratic boomers who
nave been fondIy imagining that Bry-
an was to have his own sweet way in
this campaign without let or
hindrance must have received rude
awakening when they read Taft's
mastery speech at Cincinnati before
the League of Republican clubs.
Taft appeared in a new role before
the country. He has shown himself
an expert judge and executive and
handler of great national and interna-
tional problems. Now the people dis
cover that as a scalper OF political
hides he is indeed no novice. With
a wave of his hand, Taft sweeps away
the maze of fairy tales with which
his opponent is seeking to confuse and
bewidler the people. and reveals Bryan,
the aritfcer of theories that time and
experience have proven visionary and
dangerous, the dreamer of dreams that
never came true, the prophet OF
disaster that never materialized, the
herald of promises that never have
been fulfilled.
Taft insists that Bryan be held to
his record and history. He was
member of the ways and means COM
mittee that drafted the infamous Will
German bill, in 1893 an act that
paralyzed the industries Of the nation
sand called forth the denunciation of
athe only president the democrats have
been able to elect in fifty years.
Bryan next boDs up as the ardent
champion of the widest financial
.heresy since the days of the greenback
craze, and prophesied all kinds of
disaster to the country if his advice
were not followed. and the nation re-
sduced to a free silver basis. In less
than two years, the falsity and
absurdity of every one of his prophecies
had been amply shown. and Bryan 8
only excuse was that Providence
was on the side of the republican
party"
He has never repudiated the herPsy
OF free silver, and dares not to it
today, though he has been repeatedly
asked to do it during this campaign.
Bryan next raised the bugaboo of
anti imperialism. His tender soli
citude for the dear Filpinos, who
were being crushed beneath the iron
heel of our Washington despotism
was touching, while his violent
trembling for the safety of the ark of
the republic built at SO much ex-
pense and sacrifice by the fathers
might have led the uninitiated to be-
1ieve that he had spent a season in
the swampy bottoms of the Wabash
and contracted a genuine case of
old fashioned fever and ager "
But the people did not take Bryan so
seriously, and somehow the republic
is 1sill doing business at the same old
stand. the Filipinos themselves have
repudiated Bryan's plans for them,
preferIing to follow the wise leader
ship and craftsmanship of Taft, whom
they know and trust, while the whole
world recognizes the broad humani-
tarianism and disinterested philan-
throphy of our government in behalf
of those people whom the fortunes
of war have made dependent ex
ponents.
Fooled again. but nothing daunted,
Bryan comes back at the American
people in the campaign of 1900 with
a new political scarecrow, named
Theodore Roosevelt. This ';Terrible
Teddy" is a man of war. He is

Committee Appointed to Select
 Board of Directors.

The Douglas Country club will socn reach it's first anniversary, as the action taken at the meeting of the directors held last night at the Hotel Gadsden is remindful. A com mittee was appointed to nominate a board of directors for the second year of the association. The commit tee appointed for this purpose IS composed of T. H. Collins, chairman; c. o. Ellis, P. O. Mcmullen, Dr. l.. J. Futile and w. L. Smith. This com mittee will have the selection of a board of directors and those selected will be posted at the club house on Monday next Any member may vote for whom he chooses for directors re gardless of the action of this com mlttee, but the nomination plan has been adopted as the most feasible way to secure an efficient board.
 At the meeting last night two new members of the club were accepted, Tim Lambertson of this city and Dr. l.. D. Ricketts of Cananea, who be comes a nonresident member.
 The Douglas Country club has scored a positive success since it's organization a year ago. A hand some club building, golf links, ten his courts. etc, have been provided. Around the club house has been plant ed lawn and a number of trees and the club is a source Of recreation and pleasure for all of it's members who have taken up the game of golf
