them for any man or measure.
For Senator Bradley / have ever

and / feel safe in saying that he does

Secretary Taft for president
"If any fear could be melted in the
federal ofiice-holders OF Kentucky. and
especially IN Democratic districts, or
II any pressure could be brought TO
bear to induce federal oflice-holders
to support any one candidate, 1t seems
that your letter would be calculated
TO produce that fear; but take Il
that you do not intend 1t that way,
because you say that no injustice will
be done any man because he has the
courage of his convictions. am
honestly and conscientiously for Mr..
Taft, because / think that he is the
strongest man the Republicans could
nominate, and having always in view
the success of the party, regardless of
my personal welfare, | am, and have
been, doing all | honestly could for

holders of the First congressional dis
trict should be permitted to do for
Mr.. Taft, without censure, what
Franks and other federal ofliceh hold
ers under him, are doing in the Sec
ond district for Fairbanks. As citi-
zens, we have a right to use our in
fluence for whomsoever we please and
for any man to censure us for so doing
Is demagogy, pure and simple.
''In this county, and so far as /
know, in this congressional district,
the people, so far as the Taft follow

is no effort on our part to throttle
