had thrilled the Badger state, and
from that day this great issue leaped
from our Commonwealth to compass
the entire union of states.
Commissioned to the United States
Senate. the great work has been a r
ried forward. Senator LaFolIette has
chnmpimed five great measures:
First, a bill designed t. conserve the
national resources; second, a bill
which justly protects the injured en-
gerous ocupation; third, a bill to de-
termiae the real value of the railroads
OF the country, to the end that the
government shall be able adequately
to protect the public from railroad
extortion in matters of rates ant
services; fourth, a protest against a
system of currency issue that reposes
in the judgment of a political APP
pointee, the Comptroller of the Cur
|rency, the basis OF value upon which
American dollars are issued and
guaranteed by the government; fifth,
he has challenged a leadership in the
United States Senate which we believe
menaces the best interests of the
whole country.
The successor of Theodore Roose-
welt should be a man who is neither
a rampant radical nor a cowardly co1-
~servative, but a man strong to I'M
derstand, fearless to execute, and just
to conserve the honest rights of all.
We believe that the pioneer in this
movement who was good enough to
break the stubborn soil and plant the
seed, is good enough to reap the gol-
den harvest and bring it home to
h people in it's bounty. Through
all the years Robert NJ. LaFollette
has stood like "a bold mountain about
whose SUBMITS the hurricanes have
raved in vain and upon whose base
the angry waves have beat their
surge, mistaken and unshakable." For
ten years he has carried this war
upon the point of his sword and from
the light that cleaned from his shin
ing blade was lit the blaze that car
| ried forward the war in Wisconsin,
fired the heart of Roosevelt, and to-
day, like the face of the morning, is
leading the national crusaders along
the pathway of reform.
The 1aborer is worthy of his hire.

zen, Robert H. LaFollette.

than he to lead America to her true
position in this later day when the
boundaries established in centuries
past are becoming less distinct and
kingdoms n races are beginning to
realize that they have all one common
destiny?
Secretary Taft has exceptional ia
miliarity with conditions in the dis
a Orient,-in Japan, in China. We
may rest assured that our traditional
friendship with Japan will continue.
Moreover, the future promises that
the ~slumbering millions of China will
awake from the lethargy of ages, and
b hen will realize hat the morning
look comes to her across the broad
Pacific from free America, her truest
friend and helper. We covet no por-
ton of her territory. We desire from
her, as from all nations, Increased
good will and that mutual respect
which knows neither clustering nor
%cringing on either side. Thus in this
new era of larger relations, Secretary
Taft, with his comprehension of ma
tional and international subjects,
would furnish a certainty of peace
and sustained prestige. Under him,
at home and everywhere, this mighty
people would have an assured conf
dence in the secure development a1d
progress of the country and would
rest safe in the reliance that a Chief
Executive was at the helm who, in
peace or in war, Would guide the
destinies of the nation with a strong
hand and with a gentle, patriotic
heart.
And so today, in the presence of
more than ten thousand, and with the
inspiring thought of the well-nigh ten
times : ten thousand who
dwell within our borders, I nominate
for the presidency hat perfect type
of American manhood, that peerless
representative of the noblest ideas
in orr national life, William H. Taft,
of Ohio.
