TAFT BOOM lis
ON In EARNEST

Washington, Feb, S. Secretary
Taft is facing the test OF his
strength. During the next fort
night the president and his friends
will be called upon to exert every
influence at their command to pre-
vent the Observation-Disclosures forces
from obtaining footing which
would be sure to prove a serious
menace to Secretary Taft's candi-
dacy.
That the president will fight, and
fight hard, is realized by his enc
mics. They have turned the man
agement Of the anti-Taft and admin
istration over to Senator Murray
Crane of Massachusetts. Senator
Crane, who directed the anti-TaYt
fight in Florida, is preparing to
follow that contest with another in
the State Of Texas. When he real
ICES that the sentiment in favor OF

as it proved in Florida, he purposes
to have a handful OF men in every
state convention who will be ready
to bolt and elect conrestlEg dele
gates to the National contention.
Should Secretary Taft contfel the
delegates from all the state EAST ~
the Mississippi river and TIE SOLID
South" he would be nominated on
the first ballot. TIE reactioit~fie'
and the money power in Wall street,
however, have realized this from
the start and have been planning
to election-testing delegates from
dozen or fifteen states. They con
troll the national committee Is
shown at it's last meeting when the
administration forces were routed
in selecting a convention city, ana
if is their plan to have the anti
Taft delegates put upon the tempo

Tomorrow is the day the T.-R. force

we will rejoice The rest Of the time
we work.
Marshalltown entertained state
convention of Sunday school workers
this week and did 1t right. 1t was a
surprise to meet so many substantial
men OF business affairs among the DEL
egates. Marshalltown as city would
profit immensely If convention could
be entertained every week.
A professional man has moved to
Marshalltown from Ackley where he
vaca.tes a very fine residence property.
He has his goods stored and his wife
away on a vacation because he can't
find a good house to rent in the city.

Chief OF Police Nicholson wants to
assume responsibility for loaning the
patrol wagon, but he explains that
when the telephone request was made
to him he was told that the courtesy
was being asked for visiting members
Of other city councils who wanted to
be shown about the city. The officer
does not deny that the privilege was
abused by the use actually made Of the
eity's conveyance.
The records Of automobile licenses
show that as many new cars have been
put into operation In Iowa this spring
as were purchased all told up to the
beginning OF this year and even casual
observation shows that this increase
has been fully maintained in Marshall
town. If somebody could only make 1t
bad form for an auto driver to permit
his engine to be heard, the owner OF
horses would feel duly grateful. The
facts are that the noise of the explos-
ion Of the engine need not be released
from the muffler at all.if the drivers of
cars did not like to hear it themselves
hence 1t ought to be made good form
to drive noiseless car. OF course,
there are moments when drivers will
open their mufflers to add a warning
sound to the honk Of a horn, but more
often they use the noise to make an
Impression as to the power of their
machines. Let the public know that an
expert driver can drive noiseless car
If he wants to.
In connection with suggestions 10
motorists 1t is timely to caution them
about speeding on city streets. There
are very few drivers in the city Who
live up strictly to the speed limit pro-
vided by ordinance, and it would be a
terrible thing for some one to run
down a child who. becoming confused
at the sight of rapidly moving ma
chine, might fail to get out of the way
Automobile accidents, and bad ones
are reported daily in the press of the
country. 1t is not unreasonable to ex-
poet that Il bad accident will result
here one of these days. unless more
care is taken. With Mayor lngledue
now an autotst, he can enforce eau
ton without being accused OF pre1u-
dice against the class, and this Is Jus1
what he says he Is going to do. The
mayor says that when his speedomete'
shows he is moving ten miles an hour
and another driver passes him, run
ming two blocks to his half, ne
has evidence of excessive speed. Let us
be sane with our motoring, and adopl
the ounce of prevention policy before
something happens that will always be
regretted. A big, powerful auto
