The White Pine news. [volume] (Ely, Nev.) 1906-1910, 1908-07-09

The drift of the times is well told
in recent New York interviews, given
by business men, bankers and others
in touch with the pulse of the ma
ton and more largely interested in
its enjoying general prosperity than
are most people of the country. The
tone of these expressions varies lit
tie. They all have the same keynote
confidence in Taft and the Repub
lican party and certainty that they
will win in November. few of the
more important which have lately
been given out are quoted herewith
that the reader may Judge for him
self:
Carpenter, Baggott & Co. Much
criticism is heard in business and
financial circles that the assembly in
Chicago was an administration con-
vention: that it was not representa-
tive of the people at large: that the
orders were given by a commander
in-chief and no disobedience allowed;
that We are thus drifting away from
old fashioned conservatism and have
as a candidate man already under
the greatest possible political obliga-
tions, which must be liquidated later
on. All of the above Is true, but
there is another side to H. Mr.. Taft's
nomination will he acceptable to the
people for the following. among other
reasons:
"First-It eliminates Mr. Roose-
welt from the position of dictator, and

ton of spending year in Africa, he
will probably find on his return
happier and more prosperous coun-
try. II removes the probability of an
over night eruption that sends chills
from one end of the country 10 the
other.
.'Second-It encourages the belief
among property and security holders
that their rights will not be raided

will be the opportunity of all.
Henry Clews: '.The convention
did its work admirably in nominal
ing our next president. The best evil
dence that Mr. Taft will make sat-
isfactory executive is his splendid
record. No man in the country has
filled so many high official positions
as Mr. Taft and all with great abil-
ity, good Judgment and scrupulous
honesty. Business men can now go
ahead with confidence. feeling as
sured that Mr.. Taft will surely be our
next president and that they have,
therefore. nothing TO fear for the next
four years from that source.
Marshall Spader & Co: .'Witr the
results of the Chicago convention as
a basis for calculations The political
situation. as far as 1t can affect Sc
curity values. should be regarded ia
vorably. The convention at Denver
will he awaited with interest, though
it is by no means probable that the
present outlook and forecasts of It's
proceedings will be materially chang
ed We are not inclined to look fol
an active market pending this last de-
velopment. but there is no reason to
expect less favorable feeling on the
part of investors and operators than
now obtains.
Washington +. Conner: 4 think
that Mr.. Taft will make an excellent
president. and am well pleased with
the political outlook for the next
eight years, during which time | ey-
pect him to be in Office, Washington
will cease to be disturbing factor
for that time. Under Mr.. Taft's di-
rection do not look for any legisla-
ton hostile to capital His interna-
tional experience and training are
such as to insure confidence. lSs soon
as the campaign gets under way
have no fear of dull market.
