There Is all likelihood that Taft VIII

Julien, wealthy mining operator Of Mont
pelier, Idaho, at the EpSs.t, last nisht.
Mr. de Julien is practical miner. hav-
ing served his time in the mines from
bcyhood I'd. He is familiar with the
business and political interests Of his
state. and seems TO be thoroughly con
versant with the sentiment OF the people
of Idaho regarding President Roosevelt's
attitude toward the trusts
Ny personal preferment for the Presi-
Dental nomination is Hughes. He is Of a
conservative mind. and has the confidence
Of the business interests OF the country.
Fairbanks, Cannon. and Foraker are good
men. all Of them better than Roosevelt.
1T seems 10 me that the election OF
Bryan would be preferable TO that OF any
OF the other candidates. Bryan. with a
Republican Senate and a Republican
House 10 keep a check on him, would do
no harm 10 the business interests.
Roosevelt should keep his hands Of
business What has he accomplished
He claims 10 be the friend Of the poor
man. and there have never been as many
poor men out Of work in good times as
there are now. Along a line Of railroad OF
1000 miles. from Ogden. Utah. 10 Mont
peller, Idaho. there are 5000 men out Of
work. There is no excuse for such
state Of affairs. Farmers FIVE years ego
had mortgages on their farms. and to-day
they have money in the banks. Crops
are fine. and prices are good Why then,
this business DEPRESSION
The President does more harm by
sending his messages to Congress than
he is probably aware. Why does he stir
/ UP the whole country and bring about
an upheavaI along all lines OF business
/ Why can't he go 20 work and tell H9rri-
man or the life insurance companies and
other concerns that their criminal opera
tons would have 10 come 10 an end.
without sending special messages to Con-
gress every week and unsettiing the whole
business fabric Of the United States2"
