Judge Guffy's Plea For Fairbanks

Green River Republican, Morgan
town, Ky. Dear Sir:-As the time
draws nearer for the nomination for
President the Republicans naturally
lection of some candidate. 1t is the
turn their attention to the Sc
privilege of all Republicans to express
their preference. Vive-President Fair
banks, Secretary of War Taft, Gov.
Hughes, Speaker Cannon and Senators
LaFollette and Knox have been men
toned as suitable men to be nomina-
ted for the high office in question.
1t is argued by some that Mr.. Taft
should be nominated for the reason that
he is the most suitable man to con-
tinue and carry out the policies of
President Roosevelt, and that the
President is for his nomination. |
have through the press several times
expressed hearty approval of the Presi'
dents policy and bestowed unstinted
personel praise upon him as an officer
and as an individual. The policy of
the President is of course the policy
of the Republican party. He was ele-
cted as a Republican and of course
nothing but Republican policy was
expected, and he has advocated and
enforced the same with signal ability.
II it be true, as is assumed, by some
that he declares the nomination OF Mr.
Taft, it is his privilege. His desire
in the matter Is not at all binding
on any republican. have not a wor
TO say against MIR. Taft's capacity or
qualification for the office. but ! fail
to see any reason for assuming that
his qualification is superior to the other
aspirants named above. He has not
had the experience in the administra-
ton OF civil government that the other
asspirants have He was for a
time Judge of a Federal circuit court,
and after resigning that office he has
been intTusted with several missions
or appointments among the most pro-
minent of which his mission to the
Philippians Islands, to the Isthmus
of Panama and to retsore order In
Cuba.
II is conceded that he discharged
the duties assigned to him with abili-
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1908-03-13

ty, but those duties we're essentially
different from the administration Of
the duties OF President and the en-
forcement of the great policy of this
nation through the instrumentality Of
civil law.
Mr.. Fairbanks has filled the office
of Senator and vive-President with
ability and 1t seems to me that he
is well worthy ofn omination and es-
pecialIy do ] think that the Kentucky
Republicans should support him. The
protection afforded to some Of the
Republicans OF Kentucky by the In
diana authorities is too well known
to need repetition. 1t may be conced-
ed that the action Of the Governor
of Indiana in refusing to surrender one
of our own countrymen as well as
another distinguished citizen of the
State, was a little out Of the ordi-
nary course followed by governors in
general, and 1t is evident that If the
governors of Indiana had not been
sustained by the counsel and advice OF
such distinguished men as Mr.. Fair
banks and others, the citizens afore-
said would have been given up on de-
mand of the governor of this State.
1t seems to me that every Republican
in this county should be an earnest
supporter OF Mr.. Fairbanks, and in
fact do not well see how the Repub-
licans generally in the State can af-
ford to oppose the nomination of Fair
banks in view of the course token
and advocated by the Republican spea
kers and press of this State for the
last six or seven years.
If the Republicans of Kentucky do
not support Fairbanks for the nomina
ton such failure would suggest that
the Republicans have but little regard
or sympathy for Gov. Taylor or forme
Secretary Finley.
In 1906 Mr.. Fairbanks made speech
es for us in this Congressional Dis
trict and victory was the result. Last
year he made a number Of speeches
in this State and the Republican tick
ct was elected by a sweeping majority
for the first time in many years.
do not say that his species alone pro-
cured such result, but the thanks of
the party are due him for the splen-
did speeches made. Let all the Re-
publicans come to the county coven-
ton April rs, 1908. and see that this
county instructs for Fairbanks.-Mor-
gantown, KY, Feb. % 1908.

lines UP FOR
GOV. HUGHES
New York Republican Com
mittee IndOrSes Him.
Roosevelt Praised For Service To
His Country In Opposing
Wrong-doing.

The Republican State Committee OF
New York has put its seal of appro-
val on the candidacy of Gov. Charles
L. Hughes for the nomination for the
Presidency by unanimously indorsing
him as the choice of his party in that
State before the National Republican
Convention at Chicago.
1t adopted the following resolu-
tons:
New York holds the proud position
of having given to the nation of her
illustrations sons one who now &C.
cupies the Presidential chair. Few, If
any Presidents have ever been held
in so high regard By the nation and
the world. He has done great service
to his country by a rugged determi-
nation to oppose wrong-doing and in
demanding justice for all. We ten
der as his term of office draws toward
its close, our hearty thanks and his
name will undoubtedly go down to
posterity as one of the greatest and
most herioc figures in America history
justly linked with that of Washington
Lincoln Grant and Mckinley.
THE citizens of the Empire State
very properly expect that our dele
gates to the National Republican Con-
vention will present and urge the Sc
lection again of one of our many
worthy sons for the greatest office in
the gife of our people. The State
Committee believes that the wisdom
of our choice will undoubtedly COM
mend itself to all classes of our citizens
and to the nation generally if we
earnestly advocate the selection of the
Governor of our State, the Hon.
Charles Z. Hughes, for the presidency.
He is a man of the Lincoln type
able, upright, intrepid honest, fear
less in duty and devoted to the peo-
pies best interests. Since he has
been prominently before the public
his strong individuality has greatly
inn ressed us all. In all his public
differences he carries conviction by his
evident sincerity and the unquestion-
able purity of his motives.
In placing his name before the coun
try as our standardbearer We are con-
WINGED we are presenting another great
leader to the nation, one who will
add additional glory to our State and
uphold the traditions of the Republic
can party.
Resolved, That we commend the
selection of delegates in the various
congressional districts and of delega-
tes-at-large who will act in complete
harmony with the purpose of this re-
solution, to the end that the delega-
ton to the National Convention from
this State may present a united front
in behalf of our candidate"

PRESS DAY JOYS.

There's trouble in the print-shop
No language can express,
For Fridays rolled round again,
The day we go to press.
The compositors are hustling fast,
Each has a dirty proof,
The makeup man is cussin'
In a way to raise the roof.
The "devel's" pied galley full
OF solid nonpareil,
The foremans saying things to him
That makes the birthstone smell.
The stenographer is jawing' bout
An ink-spot on her dress,
And any gol-durned fool can tell
We're trying to get to press.
Everything is all "baIled-up,'
The forms are in a mess,
And now the old mans asking;
When we're going to press?
Through the room there rigs aloud
A piercing hell-born vail
The office-dog is yelpin' cause
They've stepped upon his tial.
The pressman now is ready-but
The id old forms won't lift"
So he whites out a "dutchman"
And gives this quid shift.
The forms are on the press at last.
The press is running great
But we've got to taken off again
Forgot to change the date!
They're on again; the motors down
We're running swift and slick,
But a papers on the rollers now,
And you bet it's there to stick.
The whole id bunch is mad as sin
And cussin' more or less,
For hell breaks loose on Friday,
When the papers goes to press.
