GOING OVER no rAEr.

The swing of the Baltimore Sun in
to the Taft column is the most signi-
ficant thing that has yet happened m
The Sun has always been democratic.
1t disliked Bryan in 1886, and for a.
time was identified with the Palmer
and Buckner Democratic boilers, but
in the end it accepted Bryan. In 1900
it supported Bryan, and though it had
opposed his nomination in 1908, as
most of the other great Democratic
newspapers of the south did. the coun-
Wy supposed that in the end it would
give him the same sort of support that
is being furnished him by the Charles
ton News and Courier, the Richmond
Dispatch, the Nashville Ameri-
can and the others of Bryan's recent
opponents which are now urging lie
Democratic voters of their locality 10
make the best of bad situation and
vote for him. But the Sun, which has
always been as robustly Democratic
as any of them, repudiates Bryan and
Organism altogether, and comes
squarely over to the support of .He
Republican ticket 1T is the judg-
ment Of the Sun that the material wei
fare of the people of the United States,
industrial and financial, would be pro-
NOTED TO a greater degree by the el.
ection of Taft than by the election OF
Bryan" The Sun follows these words
by saying that "Mr. Taft's experience
in important administrative posts, his
judicial temperament, his patience
and thoroughness in investigation, JUS
tify the belief that as president he
would execute the law faithfully ana
well, but not spectaeularly."
PROFESSIONALLY the qualities here
cited for Mr.. Taft are having a power
full effect in drawing the support OF
conservative and intemgent demo
Gratis over to him. 1t is dull day
which does not see some prominent
Democrat swing to the Republican side
The drift Taftward in the south among
the sane and solid citizens of that sec
ton has given hope to some Of the
republican campaign managers tnat
one or two OF the old Confederate
states might be captured by the Re
publican party this year.

THE TOP NAME.

Burlington Hawkeye: The Iowa
primary election demonstrated the
value to a candidate of having his
name at the head of the ballot. A
similar demonstration was made at
the recent Illinois primary. Through
out the ticket the advantage of the
top name is apparent Practically ev-
cry nomination made was that of the
man whose name appeared at the
top of the list of aspirants for the
particular Office This is so obvious
ly an unfair advantage that it will
undoubtedly receive the attention OF
the legislators of all the states, where
primary election laws are in force,
with view to eliminating the dis
termination. But how is that to be
done? Not every mans name can be
placed at the top; only one can have
the precedence.
1t has been suggested in Iowa that
on state and congressional tickets,
for instance, the names can be shifted
about in the different districts and
oO tiidI ShSl "''i
have about an equal chance of being
at the head of the list on part of the
ballots. On county tickets ballots
might be printed so as to alternate
by townships. 1t is obvious, however
that this would be a very compli
Gated undertaking, liable to lead to
omission, duplication and inaccuracy
Moreover, 1t would greatly increase
the expenses of primary election
which, in Iowa, costs about 100000
This the taxpayers have got to pay
and which formerly they did not
have to bear. i".'.5
The fact is. the primary election
is virtually full-fedged election, as
much so as the second one held in
November. The state thus has to
bear the expense of two elections in
stead of one. And what is gained by
it? The first election elects nobody
but simply makes nominations, some
or all of which may be repudiated by
the voters at the polls. The state has
interfered with private organizations
of citizens, and by system of pater
nalism conducts the affairs of politi
cal parties formerly managed by the
citizens themselves.

|BIG LOSS4N OMAHA.
0skaloosa Man Interested In De-
stroyed Wagon Works.

Oren Schee, of this city, is interest
ed in the Omaha Wagon Works in
East Omaha, which were destroyed by
fire yesterday. Mr.. Schee was IN Ar
kansas at the time of the fire, looking
after other interests there. He Will
probably go to Omaha at once to look
after his interests. The press report
of the fire follows:
Omaha, Neb., Aug. -6.-Damage APP
preaching 100000 was caused by a
fire which started at 100 O'Clock yes
terday in the coal chutes of the Omaha
wagon works at East Omaha The
building was filled with wood and
much infammable material, and it was
but few minutes before it was COM
pletely enveloped in flames. hight
cars of lumber attached to a switch
engine were standing on the side
track near by, but the progress of the
flames was so rapid that it was not
possible to move the cars out of range
before the sparks settled in the lum-
Der and the cars and their contents
were consumed. The loss of the wa
gon works company is from 100000 to
$4,000. The plant of the Omaha sad
die tree company was damaged to the
extent of $4,000 to $4,000. The big
plant of the Carter white lead WORKS
was saved after the porch had been
burned.

ed by too sudden reception of the
remedy. The tariff is to be placed
en- a revenue only basis by gradual
steps. In this way if the experiment
| is unsuccessful the step can easily be
retrieved, for says Mr.. Bryan, I'VE
elect a congress every two years and
president every tour years and the
people can stop any policy if the re
suits of that policy are not satisfac-
tory"
Those who expected that Mr.. Bry-
an, in his eagemess for Iowa votes,
would retrench somewhat, take an adj
Ivanced stand or tone down the anti
protection utterances of previous years
were disappointed. True, he makes
la palpable plea for progressive repub-
llican votes, and devoted two-thirds of
his time to the exposition of argu-
ments for the revision of the tariff, a
contention which all republicans up
mold and to which the party is pledged.
but in conclusion he reiterates the ar
guments of previous years, arguments
which have been threshed out, proved
the rankest sophistry and received
the invariable disapproval of the vot-
ers, except in one memorable instance,
for generations.
He declares unequivocally for tar
iff for revenue only, denying that
American industries need protection
from foreign competition; acknowledge
ling that American labor is better paid,
but claiming that the reason is be-
cause of its greater intelligence and
better organization. He claims that
foreign trade would expand on the
tariff for revenue only basis, that the
farmer of the Missouri Valley would
enjoy a cheaper market in which to
make his purchases. He does not
deny that prices will be lowered but
claims that "a reduction in price will
enable more people to buy, and this
larger demand for goods will put more
people to work and increase the num-
Der of industries"
The first part of the address deal
ing with the necessity for tariff re-
vision is illustrated with incidents and
lis largely practical in its trend, but
in conclusion in drawing the vivid
pictures of the nequalled prosperity
which will follow the RELOCATION of the
protective tariff principle, the speak
err ascends to heights of theoretical
argument, sustaining his reputation as
one of the most brilliant theorists of
the age.

Mr.. Sherman is correct in saying
that the policy of the republican
party guarantees exact equality be-
fore the law for all men and all ac-
tiyities. No class divisions will be
fomented by republican officials, and
no class legislation will be enacted by
republican congress, Black and
white, laborer and capitalist, will
have all the rights promised to them
by our laws, but no more. This has
been the policy of the republican
party during all tn decades which il
has been in power, and there will be
no change in the term or terms in
which Taft and Sherman will be in
office.
