gether with the nominees of the Re
publican State Convention.
The policies of Theodore Roosevelt,
which have had tremendous influence
in uplifting the plane of American
craftsmanship in the administration OF
public affairs; which have held that
no man, corporation or trust is above
the law; which have compelled the
greatest corporations and captains OF
industry as well as the common male
factor to stand on equal footing,
answerable for wrongdoing before the
bar of justice; these policies will be
safe in the hands of William H. Taft,
and the American people know it.
We heartily indorse the candidacy
of Patrick l.. Flanagan for the office
of United States Senator as in him
the people find man broad guaged,
liberal mineded and constructive
statesman, warm and earnest ad-
vocate of the principles Of the Re-
publican party so we'll exemplitied
