much more TO labor and to everybody

the law and to treat all men and all classes

Fitn.-. of tn. Republican Candidate.


Topeka Capital (rep),
Bishop FRllOws' tplbute paid to Mr.. Taft at
Toledo can be put against the mean and
narrow-minded campaign which certain
enemies of Mr.. Taft has been quietly work
ing against him on the ground Of his re-
ligious belief, a campaign that would have
barred George Washington. Thomas Jeffer-
son, Andrew jackson and Abraham Lincoln
from the highest office in the gift OF the
nation. Mr.. Taft is, as a matter Of fact,
a religious man, but this goes for nothing
with his bigoted opponents.
At Toledo Bishop Fallows occupied a
seat on the platform and paid a glowing
tribute~to the nominee for president. His
experience on the bench, in the Philippines,
as secretary of war, In the construction
OF the Panama canal, In all tine positions
he has filled" said Bishop Fallows, has
been such as to qualify Judge Taft almost
beyond any other man for the presidency"
Senator La Toilette has paid a similar
tribute to the eminent qualifications OF
Judge Tart for president. President Roose-
welt has styled him the fittest and logical
successor OF himself. Governor Hughes OF
New York was a candidate against Mr..
Taft at Chicago. but Immediately on his
nomination spoke OF him as ''the best

Formal Opening.

The Standard Drug Store which has
been located at 81 Monroe-ave., In the
Elks Temple building for several
years Is now settled in new quarters
at IA and 16 Gratiot.ave. The move
was made the first OF the month, but
as extensive alterations had to be
made to the building the formal open
ing was deferred. II will now be held
tomorrow afternoon and evening.
Elaborate preparations have been
made for the occasion In the way Of
decorations. Music has been arrang-
ed for the entertainment OF the
friends and visitors who call at this
time.
The building is the one which was
formerly occupied by s. s. Kresge's
&c and 10c Store. 1t has a frontage
Of 80 feet and depth of 120 feet,
which makes II the largest store used
for the retail OF drugs in Michigan.
A great deal Of expense has been in
Cured In alterations, decorations
and fixtures, thus giving Detroit a
drug store which is second to none in
size and beauty to any metropolitan
city.
The proprietor of the store, Mr.. An
drew r. Cunningham, has exemplined
his belief In greater Detroit by es-
tablishing this spacious store. Twenty
years ago he started in the retail bus
mess at 264 Jos. Campau ave. The
little business grew under his genial
watchfulness and active energy until
he deemed II wise TO start down
town store. This was done at 81
Monroe-ave. three years ago, In part
nership with two others.
But Mr.. Cunningham was not sat
ished He wanted to work out some
thing larger and better than Detroit
has ever had. He recently purchased
the interests of his colleagues and
this gave him the opportunity he had
awaited The present handsomely ar
ranged store which will be formerly
opened tomorrow Is the result.
