LEADER WORTHY OF HIS PARTY
William Howard Taft Well Fitted for
Presidential Office.

Since the foundation OF the govern
ment no man has come to the presi-
dental Office so adequately prepared
by experience and training for it's du-
ties as William Howard Taft. He Is 81
years of age and in the very prime OF
his powers. He is both a scholar and
one acquainted with business affairs
By the time he was 40 years of age
he had won success at the bar as a
practicing lawyer and, later, had dis
tinguished himself as a Judge In his
more recent career as an administra-
tor he has been for 4 considerable
period in each post, the governing
head of two essentially foreign coun.
tries--Cuba and the Philippine islands
and the head OF one of the great de-
partments of our national administra.
ton. In the character of special en-
voy he has visited the principal coun.
tries Of the world and come into direct
and personal relations with their fore
most men. 1T may be said of Mr.. Taft,
recalling his experiences at home and
abroad, that his acquaintance with the
governing forces of the world to-day is
more comprehensive than that of any
other man, certainly than any other
man of similar responsibilities and
prospects.-San Francisco Argonaut.

HIGH PRAISE FOR TICKET.
Republican Principles Stand for True
Progress.

Taft and Sherman will appeal to the
best and traditional instincts of the
Republican party. The ticket is typical
OF that progressive conservatism for
which the Republican party stands
which holds fast to that which is good
while seeking that which Is better
The ticket is not reactionary. Neither
is Ii touched with the faint of the
demagogue in its Endorsement OF rad.
ical policies. 1t stands for the middle
course, which is that of true progress
1t may not appeal to the mob. whose
shouting Is sometimes mistaken for
the voice OF the people. But 1t will ap-
peal TO the men who stop to think
calmly and to form intelligent judg
ment upon the problems of the day
and who base their political acts upon
that judgment, rather than upon some
passing whim or impression, which is
miscalied opinion. Confidence in the
continued prosperity and the future
welfare of the nation. in the perman-
ence OF the constitution and it's in
stitutions of government rests upon
the belief that these men are in the
majority in the country and will vote
in the majority at the polls at the next
national election. Taft and Sherman
are worthy leaders for such men,

that he would interrupt his elders,

by Bridges. Before the autumn storms

that only two long wooden beams and

There was absolutely no danger in

He Has Never Failed.

Quite aside from his relation TO the
president, Mr.. Taft is the man of the
hour because he has high qualifica-
tons. In respect to brains and char
acter, which are fundamentals of fit
ness, he is eminent. The country
knows him well, and he knows the
country thoroughly. Indeed, next to
his ability and uprightness his init
mate knowledge of the machinery his
hand is to direct. should he be elected,
must be counted chief among his DUAL.
ifications. No recent president, save
Mr.. Mckinley, has been his equal In
knowledge of public affairs, and he
surpassed Mr.. Mckinley in this. that
while the martyred presidents expe.
rience of national affairs had been con.
fined to the legislative branch. Mr.
Taft has long had the run of the ex.
ecutive field, where his services have
been most intelligent and valuable.
and before that he sat upon the bench.
of mind are first-rate qualities in a
president. Some OF our presidents
have lacked them. The secretary has
made an impression upon the nations
policies, notably upon those newborn
policies growing out of territorial en-
gagements to which the Spanish war
committed us. 1t is very high praise
and just praise to say that he has at
tempted multitude of great tasks.
and has failed in none-New York

make Roadway. IL means the preser-

deliberate, comprehensive planning
from the beginning. Like Dalny In far

along previously determined lines; but
such instances are possible only in
new countries, and are exceptional
even there. Tie Chicago, Cleveland.

FOR FAIR PLA@@

DENVER. Col, July 1O-Former
Congressman L. Irving Handy, Of Del
aware. who placed Judge Gray's name
before the Democratic National Con-
vention early this morning, had a
difficult time because of the many in
terruptions and disorder in the gall
leries of the convention at that hour.
Mr.. Handy began his speech about 1L45
o'clock q IS Eastern time). While he
was speaking the committee on plat
form entered the hall.
Mr. Handy's reference to Judge
Gray's part in the treaty with Spain
in which that man stood out against
taking over Of the Philippines and his
finding in the anthracite coal commits
son won applause.
The galleries called for time and as
soon as quiet was restored Mr. Handy
with some feeling asked, Where is
your fair play? I have not spoken
one-ouarter as long as the gentleman

go on" greeted his remarks and quiet
followed Mr.. Handy continued.
Shouts greeted Mr. Handy when he
stated that he did not recommend
Judge Gray because he has all of the
qualities of the present President, but
he recommended him because he is en-
tirely different
The galleries again interrupted Mr..
Handy and called time Chairman
Clayton was compelled to rap for order.
Mr. Handy finished at - o'clock In
his speech he said:
Mr.. Chairman and gentlemen Of the
conventions:

upon me by the Democracy of the
State from which I come. In the per-
formance of that duty ny heart leaps
with pleasure.
Because of his ability. because Of his
patriotism. because OF the maturity of
his judgment. because of his devotion
to true Democratic principles, because
of the width and depth of his expert
ence in governmental affairs, and be-
cause of his devotion to justice and to
the Constitution, the man who is best
fitted to perform the duties of Presi-
dent of the United States is George
Gray AS a general rule the man best
fitted for the place is most available for
the nomination.
If you are to nominate a man be-
cause he is eager to be President, you
will not name Judge Gray. There are
other candidates who want this nomi-
nation more than he does. This man
is as modest as he is great. Ambition
is the last weakness Of great minds.
and ambition is the greatest danger the
people have to fear in rulers. George
Gray is a public servant without per-
sonal ambition. In this he is like our
first and greatest President.
