is splendid and as strong as any ever
put in the field by the republican party.
He made comparison of the two parties,
saying. 1.-The democratic party has al
ways had a tendency to check progress
and promote dissatisfaction. What we
want and should support is a party that
finds work and not a party that finds
fault-therefore. we must rally around
the republican party and do all in our
power to aid in the election of Taft and
Sherman"
