CANDIDATES TAFT AND
SHERMAN.


William Howard Taft, the man
who was nominated for Presi-
dent of the United States by the
Republican convention at Chica-
go last Thursday, was born it Mt.
Auburn, a suburb of Cincinnati,
Ohio, on September Is, 1857.
His father was learned lawyer
and Judge, was Attorney Gen.
eral in the cabinet of President
Grant and was Minister to Rus
STA. Candidate Taft is a gradu-
ate Of Yale University, gradual
ing before he was tWenty-One as
valedictOrian of his class. He is
a law graduate of Cincinnati
College. In his early career he
was on the staff of the Gin
cinnati Commercial Gazette. He
has held many important offices,
all by appointment. In 1881 he
was appointed an assistant pros
ecuting attorney, which position
he resigned in 1882 to become
collector of internal revenue I'M
der President Arthur. He soon
resigned this office and returned
to his law practice and in 1887
was appointed judge of the Supe-
rior Court of Cincinnati. In 1890
President Harrison appointed
him Solicitor General of the
United States and later appointed
him a Federal Circuit Court
judge, which position he held until
President Mckinley appointed
him chairman of the Philippine
Commission in March, 1900. La
ter he became first civil Govern
or of the Philippines and on Feb
ruarylst, 1904, he entered Presi-
dent Roosevelt's cabinet as Secre-
tary of War, succeeding Elihu
Root. Mr.. Taft is large man, ply
sically and mentally, and is con-
sidered one of the most efficient
officials in Washington. Part of
his time since he has been
Secretary of War has been spent
in semidiplomatic missions to
Cuba, Porto Rico, Panama and
Japan, and in this work he has
perhaps gained the greatest dis
tinctiOn. He is committed to the
policies of President Roosevelt.
to whom he undoubtedly owes
his nomination, bit he is not
lacking in independence and init
alive, and he accom- dishes things
IN quiet way, without shouting
his intentions to the world. As
characteristic of the man a story
is told of his early manhood
when his father, who was an un-
successful candidate for Gov
ernor of Ohio, was the subject
of what was considered an unjust
newspaper attack. All the other
members of the family were CIV
ing expression to their indigna-
ton, but Bill" never said a word
and they thought he was acting
strangely in not resenting the at
tack, but BILL" instead of
wasting time in words, quietly
walked down town and laid for
and thrashed the writer of the
article.
JamesSchoolcraft Sherman, the
man nominated at Chicago on Fri
dayforVicePresident, was born in
Utica, N. Y, in 1855. He has
been mayor of Utica and has
been for years prominent in New
York State Republican politics
Two years ago he was chairman
OF the national Republican con-
gressional committee. His pres
ent term in the House of Repre-
sentatives is his tenth. He is
one Of the two Republican men,
bers whom Speaker Cannon ap-
pointed with himself on the COM
committee on rules, and it has
been generally believed that he
would succeed Cannon as Speak
e.. He was Secretary Taft's
choice for his running mate.

DE EIks Won.

a wandering band of highwaymen,
composed for the most part Of dan
gerous men gathered from in and
around Kansas City swooped down
upon our peaceful little burg Thurs
day with intentions too cruel to mag
inc. They wandered around in search
Of scalps and finally we're met in open
field by a posse of Elks, who without
further ado threw down the gage of
battle. The aforesaid Elks rolled up
their sleeves and despite the strug-
giles and expostulations of the in
vaders, then and there proceeded to
give them thoroughly good spank
ing to the tune Of s to l.
The game in it's earlier stages
bore all the earmarks Of being a tug
of-war, neither team being able to
bulge an inch. After several ses-
sions of this peaches and cream base
base bali, the Benton Robbery, began
to bungle behind their leader and
various and healthy looking black
marks began to make their appear
ance on the Elks side Of the score
board. Murkle, the Kansas City
motorman, was not very effective in
places of danger and the Elks swat
ted the pill when hits meant runs.
The seventh inning witnessed a
slight moistening of the spirits of the
Bentons, when the Elks punched
blows and scored some several. The
Bentons turned their one trick in the
eighth on bad throw by Campbell
which Myers was unable to get his
lunch hooks on.
Brockman, the human jumping
jack, the man who makes you strike
where the ball amt, and Meyer, the
human calliope, were as usual the he.
roes of the fray. Brockman pitched
a magnificent ball, whiting the sur
prising number of II men and allow
ing only three hits to be poled of hi;
delivery. Both Brockman and his
pal, Meyer, are always favorites with
the local bugs and they deserve all
the bouquets they get, too. We have
to hand it to them. Pete Kinkeai

10000, which is generally given as the
number Of people present, is an ex-

accurate. But the crowd, neyerthe-
less, was enthusiastic and Senator
Stone was undoubtedly pleased at his
reception.
Politicians began to roll in early in
the morning and up to 1890 special
trains would arrive at frequent in
tervals. Several bands, Of various
degrees Of perfection made noises
harmonious and otherwise. The
Bunceton band was undoubtedly best
in regard to both appearance and
musiciauship and the Marshall band
the worst.
The crowd was of the usual picnic

The crowd was exceedingly p eased
