Obligations OF Civil War

Money Indebtedness is not the only
obligation we incurred and assumed
in the great civil war. There was
still greater debt, an everlasting obli-
cation that could never be paid in full.
But in the years that have followed
the Republican party has inaugurated
and developed pension laws under
which over three and one-half billion
dollars have been paid to disabled
veterans or TO the survivors Of those
who gave their lives for their country
and their flag This pension system.

party. has no precedent in history and
no equal in justice and generosity

TAFT COMES FROM GOOD STOCK
Family Ranked Among the Plain
People for Many Years.

The TaGts-those who at present are
the Tafts-hail ancestrally from Tx
bridge, Mass. They say that Tafts are
so thick in UXbridge that even WON
an can't throw stone without hitting
one.
Some years ago-in 1874, to be exact
there was Taft reunion in Tx
original Robert Taft came fOcking
from all parts of the country. One OF
the conspicuous features of the affair
was Il historical address by AlphOnso
Taft, father of the present Republican
candidate. He traced the history Of
various branches of the family, and
when he came to the one to which he
and his children belonged he said:
Our family have not embarked much
upon national politics, except that they
have shared in the battles of the coun-
try when national independence was
to be won, and also when the Union
was at stake. But brilliant political
careers have not been characteristic of
the Tafts in the past, 1t is not safe to
say what may be in store for them.
There is a tide in the affairs of men
and also of families"
This is taken from the account Of
the reunion published at the time. AL
phonso Taft would perhaps have been
somewhat dazzled if he could have fore
seen how quickly and brilliantly the
family would proceed to embark upon
national politics" He himself started
the turn of the tide which he predict
ed. 1t seems to be reaching it's flood
in the career Of the son who that year
was entering Yale.
AS Alphonso Taft described his i'm
mediate ancestors one sees where his
son got certain characteristics. Peter
Taft (1715) was "a large, cookbook
ing man of magnanimous disposition"
He had four SONS.
Aaron, the candidates ancestor, was
also so magnanimous that ne lost
money by indorsing a friends notes !;
he was a man "of great intelligence
and integrity" And then, going some
what further back, there was Captain
William Taft, who took Barney Gas.

new JERSEY GOES REPUBL lCAN.
Taft's Plurality Will Ee About Seventy
Thousand.

Trenton, n. j., Nov. 4.-Revised re-
turns indicate that Mr.. Tafts plurality
in New Jersey will be 10000. The Re-
publicans elect seven of the ten
congressman, the Democrats two, the
Sixth district, which is now represent
ed by Democrat, William Hughes, be-
ing very close and in doubt. The
Democrats elect their congressional
candidate, Kinkead, in the Ninth dis
trict and Hamill in the Tenth. Thomas
Foxhall is the Republican candidate
in the doubtful district. The Republic
ans have reelected Loudenslager in
the First, Gardner in the second, Low
ell in the Third, Wood in the Fourth,
Fowler in the Fifth, Parker in the
Seventh and have elected Congress-
man Wylie in the Eighth, which now is
represented by Democrat, Pratt. The
present congressional representation
is now six Republicans and four DEM
ocrats, so that the Republicans gain
one and possibly two congressman.

HOW TAFT WAS SOUGHT BY
M'KINLEY.
The Manner in Which the Republic
can Candidate Was Called to
Larper Snhere Of Action

The Manner in Which the Republic
can Candidate Was Called to
Larger Sphere of Action.
One afternoon early in 1900, when
Judge William II. Taft was debating
a decision of the United States Court
in the Federal Building in Cincinnati,
a telegram was placed in his aands.
He tore off the envelope and was sur
prised to find telegram from Presi-
dent William Mckinley, reading:
81 shall take it as great favor if you
will call on me some time next week"
Judge Taft guessed at the meaning
of the summons and guessed wrong.
He went to Washington and was shown
into room at the White House, where
he met the President and Secretary
Long of the Navy. Later, Elihu Root,
the Secretary of War, came in. Then,
to use Mr.. Taft's own words:
"Mr. Mckinley said that he wanted to
send me to the Philippines to help in the
work of establishing civil government as
the army moved on. l thought of my
place on the bench and hesitated. Be
sides, / believed and said we could get
along without the Philippines.
"'But we have them and must take
care of Them the President replied.
"'You are at the turning of the ways
in your life,' Mr.. Root then observed.
The bench is the easy road You can
stay there and be comfortable. On the
contrary, the Philippines will demand per-
sonal sacrifices and risks and much hard
work. but you will have an opportunity
| of doing your country very great SER
vice. went home and argued the mat
| ter for two weeks"
The telegram to Cincinnati opened
the door of American history to vii.
| liam III. Taft and made him the Repub.
lican candidate for President Of the
| United States.
