Taft the Man

att the Man
The presidential situation is attract
ing attention in all parts of the country
and there can be no mistake as to the
trend. early in the game" there is
always a divergence of opinion as to
who the nominee should be but they
soon crystalize as a rule so that each
locality is certain of the action it will
take.
Those who follow such matters close
ly cannot fail to see that William How
ard Taft of Ohio is far in the lead, and
he has no CLOSE secon aside from
Hughes of New York, and even he can
not be regarded as a really close sec
ond.
Taft has earned his way into the
good will of the people of the nation
and has never fallen short of any trust
placed upon him. He has a record OF
service probably longer than n mar
who has ever been a candidate for the
presidency and thus the people have
come to know him.
That Wyoming would be in the Tat
column was a foregone conclusion some
time ago. The majority of the people
