A japanese Citizen for Taft.
Columbus Sent. az. 1914

There are SO many people in the United
State who misunderstood the Japanese,
and form their opinion from the incident
which arose in the State of California,
and which was magnified and miecon.
strued thoroughout the country.
Japan has large standing army and
navy for the purpose of self protection,
and not for the purpose of challenging
war with other nations. Unfortunately
we have had war great many times with
other nations within the past twenty.six
hundred years, and have never been de-
fested for the reason that Japanese
fought for the protection and love of
their country and for the fundamental
principles contained in the farewell sd-
dress OF our great ancestor.
What hearty friendship We have had
or are having for America. 1t is an his
toric friendship-a friendship that
should be lasting.
What nation led and converted japan
to civilization? Who was the greatest
arbitrator in the Russo Japanese war?
Bryan questions Theodore Roosevelt, ad.
vocate of humanity and President of the
United States.
Let me call you attention to the fol-
lowing: What is the mission of the
American people? To uphold the in
stitutions of George Washington. He
said: Observe good faith and justice
toward all nations; cultivate peace and
harmony with all.
To promote the welfare of our own ma
ton, and to retain the respect and con-
fidence of foreign nations and form the
grand union of the Western Hemisphere,
elect as the successor of Theodore Rooee-
welt his trusted friend and able counsel
lor, William Howard T. Taft, and then
the whole world will rejoice that this
country will continue to have as it's chief
magistrate q man who is hOnored and
respected at home and abroad. With
such men as Taft in the Presidential chair
America will live as long as the Pacific
ocean sings the Anthem of harmonious
peace and freedom.
