THE PRESIDENCY.

The expected has again happened
and inasmuch as 1t was so much eX-
pec;ed by everybody, it takes but
a few lines to chronicle the event.
Mr.. Taft has been nominated by the
Republicans for the Presidency. Ev-
erything went off in the Chicago Con-
vertion with the exactness and precis-
ion of a dress rehearsal, II not more
so. The different acts, the shifting
of scenes, the memorized words, the
promptings from the stage manager at
Washington-th whole play was rem
dered perfectly, bur the applause, as
in the usual trial presentation, was
lacking in volume. The pieces was
well put on so far as theatrical eff
fects were concerned.
But we have no words Of reproach
or disparagement for the Republican
nominee for the Presidency, nor for
his running mate, Congressman sher-
man. If Mr.. Taft is elected, he will
be the President of the whole people
of the United States, ourselves among
the number. AS such, in any conflict
with a foreign country or with any
alien forces that might seek to make
war against or disrupt our national
organization, he would have our 10y
al. though humble support. No force
of circumstances could conspire 20
make us a traitor to our beloved
country.
But while reverencing him as a
possible President and respecting him
as the nominee of the strongest oppos-
ing party, we still disagree with him
upon broad questions of national poll
ty and political policy. We do no,
nor could we be brought to believe
as does he respecting the policies
which he is pledged to promulga.e'
and advance as the representative of
the party at which he stands the
head. 1t is the righ. and the hertz
tage of American citizens to dis
agree along these certain lines while
they are all brothers in common ma
tiorality.
At Denver, Col, along about the
18th day of next July will be nominated
candidate for President whom We
think more nearly believes in and
advocate s those principles of govern
me t which, combined, CONSTITUTES
our ideal of governmental policy, He
shall have our earnest and hearty
support. We believe, as We hope,
that he will be elected President over
Mr.. Taft, AndiA such shall be the
happy contamination of wishes which
thrill thousands of other hearts other
than ours, we bespeak for him thai
same confidence and loyal support, as
Pixsidentof this great country, which
all true Democrats, as American cit
liens, are ready and willing to bestow
upon whomsoever the people, in their
sovereign rights, shall choose as
their nations head for the next four
years.
Hurrah forW. ]. Bryan!

When Secretary of State Powers was
arrested in his flight from the scene

The Hartford Republican takes ex-
captions to the recent State Demo-
cratic platform because It did not con-
denim Roosevelts administration.
There are two reasons for this. The
first is, Roosevelt traded for and is
carrying out the last Democratic Ma
tional platform and the second is, the
adjectives were all used in exposing
Governor Wilson's administration.

Powers-Howard Pardon.

The Times Is sincere in Its belief
tina. all the fol de i'ol as to Gov.
Wilson debating the question as to
the pardon of Powers and Howard
was settled when he was allowed by
Democrats to be elected Governor Of
Kentucky. Gov. Wilson is a kindly
man, but from the crown of his
head to che sole OF his foot he is
Republican. The question of pardon
was settled in advance and 1t was
alone question as to the time it
was to be granted. 1t has been grant
ed and we are glad that the Repub-
lican Governor of Kentucky has SCI
tied a question whereby he acknowl-
edges that he was afraid to leave
decision to jury over which he had
the power to name the Judge He did
not dare to pardon Powers without in
Guiding Howard. Howard knew too
much and II he had been left in the
penitentiary and Powers freed, certain
men in Kentucky would have had un-
cay days and restless nights. 1t is
well that a Republican Governor has
been afraid to test his own admins
tration of justice in the courts of
Kentucky, and Democrats can join
with Republicans in viewing such
an act of mercy as conclusion to
partisan warfare that the Republican
party of Kentucky did not dare to
allow jury of Kentucky citizens to
pass decision Charlottesville Times.

had nothing to do with Mr.. Goebel's

people who we're in Frankfort at or

The Hartford Republican in its lasi
issue says:
The Hartford Herald affects

reference to an alleged con-
tradiction between Col. Brad
ley and this paper. No use
arguing with the "twiddle-dee-
detes." We never said Taft
could not be elected, neither
did Gov. Bradley. That's our
candid response without var
nish.
Let's see what this candid response
without varnish" amounts to. Here
is what the Republican said:

he says there would be no
chance for the Republicans
to carry Kentucky with TAFT

Senator w. o. Bradley, in his talk
before the Credentials Committee of
his party in Chicago, said:

members of this committee of
my party that there never was
i primary so corrupt and so
foul as the one held in Louis
vile on April 20. l am here
to say that there never could
be one equal to it in this
respect"
Senator Bradley has not only been
an observer of things in his own
party, but a commentator on political
rottenness as he saw it in other par
ties, and when he says there never
could be one equal" in corruptness
to the Republican primary in Louis
vile, you may well guess what the
Colonel and many others of his par
ty think about It,

And poor Henry Youtsey is made
the scapegoat of the whole bloody bus
mess and must undergo the ignomi-
ny and the years of prison life for
daring to tell who were engaged in
the plot to assassinate VIM. GOebel.
There is not a person in Kentucky
not even the most biased Repub-
ncan-who believes that Henry Yout-
sey, alone and unaided, plotted and
brought about Mr.. Gooebel's murder.
Without doubt it was the work Of a
gang of assassins. But the Repub-
lican leaders put 1t all on Youtsey,
and he is in no position to kick.

The Hartford Republican, comment
ing upon the selection of the senior edi-
tor of The Herald as chairman of the
recent Democratic convention here,
says:
He made a short talk, in
which he predicted that the
Democrats would elect the
next President and that they
would not only redeem Ken
lucky, but would also carry
Ohio county. This caused his
hearers to open their eyes,
and smile incredulously.
We repeat the hope and possibility
that Ohio county can be carried for
,hc Democratic ticket this year, If
ell Democrats will only come out and
vote. Not only this, but work assidu-
ously beforehand. While the Repub-
licans are smiling incredulOusly,"

nothing. Then they will have cause

And now Mr. William Taft is a can
didate on a platform that declares that
the Presidency is not a perquisite OF
New York.
There is not much of an argument in
favor Of Taft. or against Hughes, in
that. Indeed, there is not much merit
in the locality argument. anyhow, un-
less a State gets the notion, as Ohio
has had 1t for several terms, that the
Presidency, while II Is not a per-
qrisite OF New York, really does belong
TO Ohio. There Is so much Of that

so continuously that II has got on the

RAILWAYS IN THE SOUTH.
Better Understanding Imminent be-
tween CorporatIons and PUBLIC,

President Finley Of the Southern Railway. in
Manufacturers Record.
I express the opinion not only Of my
self. but Of many Of the most intelligent
and thoughtful men Of the South in all
lines Of business, when I declare that.
under present conditions, It is much more
important 10 the people OF the Southern
States as a whole TO have increased and
improved railway facilities than TO have
any possible reduction in either freight
or passenger charges. I also express the
views OF many men in our section when
say that every increase or improve
ment IN the transportation facilities Of
the railways OF the South tends 10 IN
crease the value Of Southern farms and
OF every industrial enterprise IN our sec
tion.
If this is true every individual in our
section IS personally and vitally interest
ed in the adoption by the Southern States
Of public policies that will facilitate rail-
way development. The railways OF the
South ask no special favors. They rec
ognize the prCpriety Of such public regu-
lation as IS necessary for the prevention
Of wrong and for insuring 20 every indi-
vidual equality of rights on the high
ways All they ask is that they shall
be permitted, under just laws, TO earn
such a reasonable margin over the costs
OF operation as viii enable them 20 make
fair return on the capital already in
vested thus strengthening their credit
so as TO enable them 20 secure the addi-
tional capital required 10 provide the
increased and improved facilities so ur-
gently needed. I have unbounded faith
IN the sense Of justice and fairness Of
the Southern people. have always be-
lieved that all that was necessary TO in
sure 10 the railways 0f our section fair
and just treatment was a fair under
standing Of the situation. I believe that
such an understanding is being brought
about and that we are on the eve OF an
era In which the Southern people and
the railways Of the South will cooperate
harmoniously for Southern advancement,
and in which such questions as may arise
affecting the charges and service Of COM
mon carriers will generally be adjusted
by amicable conferences between those
interested instead OF being made sub
jects Of political agitation.
