CLEAN CANDIDATES;
CLEAN CAMPAIGN

The voters of the country can con-
graduate themselves that in Secretary
Taft and William Jennings Bryan
they have men of the highest char
acter for candidates for the pres-
dency.
Secretary Taft has been in public
life for p years, almost ever since he
reached his majority. He has filled
many official positions and has been
IN the public eye year after year.
Aside from splendid record as Judge,
governor of the Philippines and cab
met officer he has never been the
subject Of criticism so far as his per-
sonal character is concerned. He
measures up to the highest standard
of the clean, upright American citizen
~" Mr.. Bryan. has-spent7-sb*at-- a.
-. . .. sHablic Office he has been
:. imelight continually since his
frs. nomination twelve years ago.
During all this time he has been
recognized as the leading Democrat
OF the country. In his extensive
travels he has come in contact with
the American people. has spoken in
almost every city in the country. and
is, without doubt, the best known
private citizen Of the republic
Men may not and many do not,
agree with Mr. Bryan In his views on
governmental affairs. but all agree
that his private life and personal hab-
its are without blemish. He stands
before the voters, in this respect, with
clear record
So far as clean lives are concerned
the two candidates are on an equal
footing. and it is gratifying to know
that whichever is elected the country
will have chief magistrate who is a
clean and honorable man and against
whom, in this respect. the finger OF
Eorn and SANDER cannot be pointed.
1t is not on personal merits of the
candidates that voters must make
their choice, but on the differences ir
the policies which they represent II
is fortunate, indeed. the two parties
have named as standard bearers two
men having such splendid persona
attributes as William Howard Taft ant
William Jennings Bryan
