WHAT TAFT PROPOSES TO DO

WHAT TAFT PROPOSES TO DO.
In a talk before the Cincinnati Com
mercial club recently President Elect
Taft gave some hint as to his poll
cies when he is inaugurated as presi-
dent of the United States.
There was nothing to point to any
change of views, nothing to show that
Mr.. Taft has withheld any opinions
from the public whom he has been
addressing for many months. The
one important note in his speech was
that the reactionaries might expect
nothing of favor from him. He in
tended to carry out the reforms began
in the present administration. He

SENATORIAL FIGHT NOT sETTL

SENATORIAL FIGHT NOT SETTLED
Developments in the senatorial con-
test would indicate that there is to be
@ lively scrimageSEat Bismarck this
winter. The apparent majority for
Johnson Of about 1900, taken in con-
nection with the fact that about 10000
more votes were cast for senator than
were given the Taft electors, furnishes
pretty good proof that the law which
provided for separation Of the party
votes was not effective. The supreme
court recognized the force and logic
of thejlaw when it enjoined the demo-
crats5 from voting for the republican
candidates for, the. senate. The re-.
turns, show that this Injunction was
disregarded, and as a result the demo
Gratis really. cast two votes on the
senatorship-one for their own candi-
date id June and one FOR the republf-
can candidate in November.
/ The pledge clause Of the law having
been knocked out by the court itsswould
seem that the=legislators were entirely
absolved from all obligation, either
legal or moral, and that their duty
now is to elect senator who will best
!. serve the interests Of the state rather
than the. interests OF any faction OF
: any individual.
( Again, the johnson managers have
accepted the terms of the Mckenzie
machine and agreed to do what Nc
Kenzie wants in the matters of pat
