A contrast

A Contrast
Lafayette Gill; Democratic nominee
for state senator, accepted the nominal
tion under protest, and at a personal
sacrifice. Miguel Estudillo, Repubii-
can nominee, spent several months
salary advertising his candidacy in the
papers of the district. Which of the
two is likely most truly to represent
his constituents ?-Santa Ana Bulletin.
Not "Owned"
There are some fifteen Democrats
holding county offices, including three
members of the board of supervisors.
With the exception OF a single member
OF the board we cannot recall that one
of these fifteen officials was on the
pay roll of the local monopolies" when
elected or ever on such pay roll at all.

Political Points
Taft Tame

AS a possible successor of Theodore
Roosevelt, Mr.. Taft could not appear
otherwise than decidedly tame to
the hero worshipers. AS a candidate
seeking the highest Office and relying
upon his ability to initiate his patron
faithfully, rather than upon any apti-
tude for taking the initiative, he must
appear to the voter as a man asking
much and offering little. The lack of
enthusiasm for Mr.. Taft is logical and
vitable.-Louisville Courier Journal.

TarIn Evils

Mr.. Bryan's Des Moines speech is a

tariff system.-Kansas City Star.

statement was given out:
I'm addition to the communication

foreign office, the German ambassador
has also conveyed to the American
government the assurance of the En-
p"r"r that there has never been any
change in his attitude towards Mr.
