II publish this letter without Mr..
Tafts knowledge, because l feel It
my duty to the public that his atti.
tude should be known. The man who
unhesitatingly resists temptation, who
cannot be swerved by any considera-
tion of personal interest from follow
ing the course which his lofty concep-
ton Of duty dictates to him, the man
whose whole concern is for the well
fare of the people, and who has prov
ed in lifetime of difficult and useful
public service his extraordinary capa-
city as an administrator, is surely the
man of all others to be intrusted with
the presidency.
Mr.. Taft's candidacy is not based
upon large and vague promises. part
Of which would be impossible of
achievement and part of which would
be absolutely mischievous to the peo-
pie of the whole country if put into
effect. His candidacy is based upon
his great record III actual achieve
ment, his great record Of service to
the public, upon his inf1exible adher-
ence to the highest standards Of right
eousness, and upon his proved and
absolute fearlessness In relentlessly
warning against evil wherever it may
be found. I appeal to all good fti-
zens, to all high minded conscienti-
GUS men who love their country for
the sake Of their country, to put such
man at it's head.

desire supported and put into
practice.
No Compromise Possible.
THE issue really is whether the
Republicans Of Ohio, therefore,
as the constituents of either SEN
ator or presidential candidate,
support the main policies main
tanned by the administration or
the opposition to those policies.
Representing the policies Of the
administration, I cannot stultify
myself by acquiescence In any
proposed compromise which nee
essarily involves the admission
that the Republicans of Ohio re-
gard this fundamental difference
of opinion as of no Importance
and one that can be waived in
the interest of party harmony or
the settlement Of factional differ
enceS.
There is not the slightest doubt
that the next national conven-
ton Of the Republican party will
sustain in full the vital and main
principles maintained by Presi-
dent Roosevelt and will express
no sympathy with the opposition
represented by Senator Foraker.
Because believe In these princi-
pies and because in my Judgment
the Republicans of the state and
nation are overwhelmingly in ia
vor Of them. cannot favor any
action by members of the commit
tee who do me the honor to sup

CONTROL SOloNS
WANT AN EXTENSION OF TINE
FOR REMOVING TIMBER FROM
THEIR LANDS AND ARE GOING
TO ASK LEGISLATURE FOR IT.

Portland, Ore. Dec. ga special
to the Oregon Journal from Coeur
d'Alene, Idaho, says: Are the timber
companies who own timber standing
upon many thousands of acres Of
state lands planning to secure an ex-
tension of time for the removal OF
such timber at the hands of the
Idaho legislature. which convenes
early in January? There are strong
reasons for believing that they are.
In selling the timber the state grants
a term of 20 years for the purchaser
to remove it, and during all these 20
years the purchaser ge S the benefit
of the use of the land and the growth
of the young timber. The first OF
these purchases was made seven
years ago. hence the companys still
have a period of 13 years in which
to remove the timber. In some cases
they have begun operations and
have made some progress; in others
1t is said they have not turned
wheel.
ODBOSIt IOu VI n vCAy
acter will be presented to this extern
sion. Part of the opposition comes
from the owners of isolated tracts
within the limits of these state lands.
who claim that an extension OF time
would permit the timber syndicates
| to freeze them out and compel them
to sell at their own figures. This,
thew claim. is an injustice to them
which could not be inflicted II the
timber companies were compelled &c
70 ahead and clear up the lands Tne
timber companis would thus Dc
compelled to pay decent price loi
these claims >and there are grea'
many Of them
Another ground for opposition Is
that an extension defates the settle
ment OF these logged off lands. Tnl
! timber companies would keep settlers
out by retaining possession OF the
lands and. as Senator Hepburn sha'
expressed it. 1t is men, not trees
Idaho wants.
II is said that the timber synid
oates will have strong lobby a.
Roise to work their scheme through
the legislature, and the indtvidua
.,r,her holders OF the Northern Ear
NJ the state will send a lobby u
combat them.
H Is there a secret movement on ZOO
uoro certain ambitions politician
