The Company He Keeps.

Says the Spokesman Review OF Spo-

counsels and basking in the sunshine
of his political smile. John W. Kern

and friend and intimate of lawless
Indiana gamblers; Tom Taggert, boss
gambler and corrupt Politician; the
notorious Boss Murphy Of New York.

there was never such a disreputable
and scuryey lot rounded up in the
leadership of a political party. What
a contrast to the men who are the
political intmates and associates Of
William Howard Taft.
In choosing between the presidential
candidates next month the American
people cannot leave out of consdera-
ton the kind of company that each of
them keeps Who can doubt that the
men Taft would appoint to the cabinet
positions, to the Supreme court. to
foreign posts and to the many posi-
tions of responsibility within his gift
would be of higher grade. a safer
class. than those upon whom Bryan
would bestow reward for their support
In politics, as we'll as in society or
business. man is known by the COM
pany he keeps. and whatever one may
think of Bryans personal integrity Or
sincerity there is no getting away from
the fact that in this campaign, more
than in his earlier campaigns, he has
fallen into evil company. He has
shown that to woeful degree he lacks
a knowledge of human nature and is a
poor judge of men. Such a man aside
from all other considerations--hs shift
mess and shallowness, his political
follies and fallacies. his menace as an
agitator and demagogue-is wholly
unfit for the presidency.

employer of 10000 laborers on the Pan
