His departure from headquarters prevented
any considerable number Of callers. but among
those who came was Sas McBee. editor OF The
Churchman" of New York. Speaking as
Southerner and as a private citizen rather than
editor of his paper. Mr.. McBee said:
II North Carolnian by sirln and a life
long Democrat. I shall vote for Mr.. Taft BE-
cause he has in his heart to bring the people OF
the South back into absolute union with the ma
tional life and with their historic place n
controlling force in the nation, and to do which
would immortalize him a statesman
Il shall vote for him because he more nearly
represents my ideas of government, of social
order and economic policy than any living
Democrat, or any man before the public to-day,
save alone Theodore Roosevelt who Is the only
Republican President 1 have ever voted for Mr..
Taft has administered every trust committed to
him by the nation with eye single TO the ma
tons good and for the highest interest OF the
people that compose the nation. Every perma
nent interest industrial commercial eco
nomic has found and will find another admin
istration a sure protector, judicial and judi
cious friend and guide.

policy disinterested, so altruistic. so full Of
honor to the American nation and so full Of
promise to the Filipino people that I fail to
find in the colonial history OF England, that
great colonzing country, anything worthy to
stand beside it.
There is no nober. more loyal body of cti-
zens than those represented by the great and

that unrest and the constant change OF the
