MIR. TAFT'S REAL MEASURE

We quote an editorial from the

tlcrnan who is playing golf and run.
ming tor the Presidency:
"Mr. Taft, primarily. is an exhibit.
He is an artificial creation whose
making involved the prostitution of
every principle of civil service reform
his master ever possessed. He has
never experienced II test of the pOpu.

lativc capacity. His father was IL pub
lie functionary, and through ancestral
influence and their family wealth he
has ripened during twcnty-three years
into n burcaucrat of uninterrupted ca.

nOtoriety rests upon injunction writs.

Thus far in his public speeches he
has been simply parroty. superficial
and prone to misreprcsent according

rolls him among the ignorant or the

BRYAN A GREAT LEADER

Never enthusiastic over Bryan and
rather disposed to adverse criticism,
we were never counted among the
Bryan worshipcrs and we will not bc SO
counted today. This, however. cannot
prevent us from regarding Bryan as he
is today and stating the opinion thus
formed openly and above board.
The like of Bryan has never appeared

instance has heretofore occurred, nor

to occur in which the people have SO

lecture, complex beyond solution and
intricate beyond demonstration.

Guiding both Roosevelt and Taft.
What II Is that has put him next tu the
hearts Of the people we do not pretend
to say. II is beyond II reasoning and
above our conception.
Some say that he Is loved likcCIay WAS
loved; others that he has magnetic
power over the hearts of his partis,ns
as Blaine had. and more contend that
he is rcvcrcd. But the truth is. that
neither the case of Clay nor Blaine nor
of Lincoln furnishes u parallel. The
love for Clay was largely sectional and
partisan, and the affection Of the masses
for Blaine was largely confined to the
ranks Of his " party. Lincoln was
not rcycred in his lifetime. In two.
thirds Of the land of this great country

Clay had patronage and represented
wealth; Lincoln had patronage but he
stood for the lowly and the weak,

until death removed the din and dust of

lips ut this hour than any leader living

by pointing their sons TO Bryan; old
men, whitened in the seasons of strug-
gle, and boys just girding on their
armor, pronounce the name of Bryan us
the most illustrious and powerful
champion of human liberty.
Why is it? We do not know. History
furnishes no explanation. Presidents

A REPUBLICAN ON THE RE.
CEPTION OF L~ARRAZOLO
In Hagerman Messenger.

In Hagerman Messenger.
There are two types of politicians,
the old and the new. The ~charactey'
acrimony and unreasoning adherence
to party. That of the new is a more
patriotic regard for country, a saner
reasoning Of cause and effect. a spirit
of consideration and a generous e
spect for the opinion of others.
In the reception of Mr.. Larrazolo
these two features of the modern pol
itics were distinctly pronounced.
In the speech of the eminent gen
tleman who desires to represent us
in congress, there was a spirit of
man1iness, a regard for the feelings
of his opponent, a ready willingness
to convince OIL be convinced, and
while he exhibited a disposition to
a wide latitude for variance of opin-
ion, he was fearless and uncompro-
missing in his rebuke of d~ishonorable
practice and politics.
Our previous good opinion of MT.
L~arrazolo was in no wise belittled by
his fair minded discussion of state
and national issues, and we can re
iterate the statement made in the
last issue of the Messenger, that
Larrazolo would sacrifice every chance
Of Office and power rather than per
form a questionable act"
Courtesy, perhaps, demands that
for these kind words on the part of
a Republican about the Democratic
we should say something
equally complimentary about And
really we can't say n
more that he is a remarkably quiet
man to be such a bowling success
at doing things."-Ed.)

scented. The cowboy mayor said he
did not know what he would do with
a rope in New York unless it was to
rope Bryan with. His remark was
overheard, and for two days the pa
pers were full of stories about the
cowboy mayor of Omaha going to
rope Bryan, and to make good Mayor
Dahlman carried the joke through.
This morning he said he was never
much of a roper, but while he had
not done any of it in a long time be
believed he could throw a lasso just
as true today as he could in the early
days when he was on the plains.

In a county where the Republicans

that the object in holding their coun-
ty convention at night was to cut out
the country delegates and enable the
town bosses to run the whole works.
But in Roswell the fact is that the
purpose of holding h convention at
night is to get enough Republicans
together to fill out the list of dele
gates to the Territorial convention.

Andrews leads with the number OF
delegates instructed to the Repub-
twenty-five to his credit. Spiess fol
lows with twenty-five. and Mann has
five. Twenty-four delegates already
selected go uninstructed. The dele
gates not yet selected number 104,
there being a total of $50 delegates.
Looks like anybody's ace but just
chalk it down that Andrews will get
the lemon.
