gun in defense Of a fundamental prin
ciple underlying the life of the Re
public itself. and "the agitation"

. Should Mr. Taft be chosen President
those who look for him TO parallel the
strenuous administration Of Mr..
Roosevelt will meet with disappoint-
ment. There Is no resemblance be-
tween the two. Mr.. Roosevelt is a

ing an enemy, and deciding the war

This, In effect, is what tne Bee has
repeatedly said.
IL Is a critical period IN the history
Of the Nation, and Taft is not the man
for the White House job. II calls for
q strenuous. aggressive nghter; for a
man who will sally forth from behind
the breastworks and attack the forces
