The Taft Campaiun.

The press bureau of the Republican
campaign committee started in upon
its work promptly, vigorously and, we
are bound to say, a~rtistically. The
literature" which it supplies is at
tractive,~ anecdotal, intimate and read
able. But on the more serious lines
it is hardly convincing even when it is
entertaining.
Take, for instance, the matter OF
the southern vote. 1t is gravely pre-
dicted that Taft will break up the
solid SOUTH" and business men there
are quoted as favoring Taft because
the south owe it's prosperity to a Re-
publican regime"
This is probably intended for en-
couragement here at the north. But
the ina gination of the Taft boomers
