TAFT'S ELECTION IS CERTAIN
THAT'S WHAT GUS A. SCHULDT
OF THIS TOWN THINKS.
Something About Convention Of
League of Republican Clubs.
Views Of Present Situation.

That Candidate Taft is one Of the most
forceful and eloquent orators OF the day
is the firm belief Of Gus A. Schuldt Sec
rotary of the executive committee Of the
League of Republican State Clubs Of the
District of Columbia, who has returned
to the city from Cincinnati. where he at
tended the convention of the National
League of Republican Clubs as a delegate
from this city. He heard Mr.. Taft ad-
dress the convention.
Mr.. Schuldt talked with many politicians
during his trip. and he said from what
he has learned he cannot see how Taft
is going to lose. In speaking today Of
the convention, Mr.. Schuldt said:
I'VE saw no evidences of apathy while
we were away. Cincinnati Is as alive po-
liticaly as If the election were only a
few days off. Mr.. Taft started out on his
speaking tour by making an address
Tuesday evening at the Music Hall, and
this immense hall was crowded to the
doors and thousands were clamoring to
get in.
Taft a Fine Talker.
II predict that Mr.. Taft will make as
much of success on the stump Mr..
Bryan. The audience in Cincinnati simply
went wild with enthusiasm as he delivered
point after point. He is a pleasing talker
and compels the attention of an audience
with his straight. lucid and forceful ex-
plantations of the principles of the party

enthusiastic and active workers / have
ever seen. He has already started on
a tour with the view of organizing clubs
throughout the country. We also elected
as one of our vice presidents Winston
Churchill the novelist. who takes much
interest in republican politics.
Reports Are Encouraging.
"The reports we received from the vari-
Gus states were very encouraging. While
there are some differences in some states
as to local conditions. far as the ma
tional ticket is concerned l believe Mr..
Taft will win.
This talk of New York. Maryland and
West Virginia being doubtful is all fool
ishness When the New York republicans
renominated Hughes the state was saved
to the republicans. If any other course
had been pursued the result would have
been doubtful. Then, too. the upstate

The proofs I submit
should be sufficient to show
to any fair and unprejudiced
mind that I was never en-
ployed by the Standard Oil
Company except prior to
1901, and that my employ
ment then had no relation to
anything that was in conflict
with my public duties.
l do not agree with Judge
Taft that a senator should be
controlled by the legislature
of his state, against his intel
ligence, his conscience and
his judgment, about a great
public question of far-reach-
ing serious consequences.
Notwithstanding the Presi-
dent says that I was the rep
resentative or champion and
defender of corporations in
the Senate, there is not
word of truth in any such
statement, whether made by
him or anybody else.

light, a white one, shows down through
the rubber cushion into the breeches,
enabling the shipwrecked people to see
how to get into the apparatus. Anoth-
err white light shows toward the shore
until the breaches buoy is occupied,
when It automatically turns to bright
red. going back to white again when
the passenger is landed.
Under the old system when the
breeches buoy was sent out to a wreck
It was often hauled back to the shore
by the life savers before II had reached
its destination. Now the position of
the breeches buoy viii always be
known to those ON shore and on the
wreck The green light moving toward
the vessel mutely tells the shipwreck-
ed passengers that help is at hand and
encourages them to hold on until the
buoy reaches them. AS soon as one OF
the imperlled mariners gets into the
breeches the red light signals to those
on land to haul the passenger ashore.
Signaling is further provided for by
rocket discharged by the same method
which shifts the lights in the buoy

The cartridge signal rocket Is placed
in the chamber In the overhead cush-
ion and Is discharged In the air by the

socialism and orthodox Creeda.

Socialism and Orthodox CPeeda.
The notion which is held by some
orthodox teachers that religion and SO
ciallsm are tending toward a union Of
effort which may be permanent and
work marvels IN society Is vigorously
combated by the Rev DR.. r. r. For
syth, an ultra orthodox English divine.
DIR. Forsyth declares that desire to aid
In social reform Is part Of his religion.
Writing In the British Congregational
list, he says that the ideals OF most
Socialists OF the day and OF working
men who are not Socialists are con-
cerned especially with the exaltation
of their own class" and continues:
These ideals practically become their re-
ligion. They win listen readily 10 any
thing the minister of Christ has to say
which serves or promotes them. They
win willingly utilize the church In this
way. They win listen to the tale OF a
Christ who sympathizes with these aspira-
tons and contributes TO them. But when
the church or It's minister claims a hear
ing for message which every man and
every society must absolutely obey and
serve; when we preach q Christ who not
only serves man, but by right OF thar
service claims the total surrender and
service of every man and race; when we
pass. as we must. from the gift of Christ
TO the demand Of Christ the responsibility
to Christ, the total Inundated, uncondi-
tional worshipful triumphant surrender
Of self to Christ, then the social idealists
have no use for us. They talk angry clap
trap about the churchs lust Of dominion,
the aioofness Of the preachers their hang
ing back, their cowardice, self seeking,
pietism and all the rest Of IT,
The doctor argues that the lack OF
harmony between socialistIc and re-
liglous ideals Is fundamental. because
christianity does not make mans
happiness" It's FIRST concern ''Hls own
sympathy with the principles Of so
cialism arises from his belief in Christ
and not simply in human nature" TO
quote further:
Society, we all feel must be slowly re-
organized 20 MS TO provide scope for moral
manhood But we need something more
than that. Society cannot create moral
manhood, cannot provide the dynamic
which demands the scope. And Il Is my
religion that Christ can and that Christ
alone can. And I would like to close on
this note. | would like 10 say that the

but several color lines, though these
are not eternal, hard. fast and un-
