ROOSEVELT PROCLAIMS
TAFT AS HIS ONLY
CHOICE.

The true friend OF reform, the
true foe OF abuses, Is the mniA
who steadily p~crs"vcrcS in right
ing wrongs, in warning against
abuses, but whose character and
training are such that he never
promises what he cannot per.
form, that he always n little
more than makes good what h"
does promise, and that, while
steadily advancing, he ncv"r per.
miis himself to he led into foolish
excuses which would damage III"
very cause he champions. In Mr..
TAFT W" have n man who com
bincs all Of these qualities TO n
degree which no other man In
our Public life since the civil
War has surpassed
There Is no fight for dccency
and fair dealing which | hay"

RELIGIOUS FIGHT
ON TAFT A FAILURE
Desperate Attempt by Opposition
to Stir Up Prejudice Proves
Boomerang.
Clergymen Of All Denominations
Rush to the Defense Of Judge
Taft and His Attitude
Toward Religion.

The effort to arouse prejudice against
William II. Taft because of his rcllg-
lous belief has, In the opinion Of tho
campaign managers, not only proved a
failure, but has had n salutary effect,
for many clergynrn Of prominence have
FASTENED to express their confidence In
the high religious standing Of the Re-
ligious grounds began long before tho
candidate was nominated, when friends
Of II CT the "%allics" sought TO spread
The report that Mrs. Taft was a Cath
Ollie. The story was widely told, but 1t
never gained much credcncc. It was
too well known that Mrs. Taft was an
E~piscOpalian and II regular attendant
ut st. Johns Church In Washington,
where only n year ago her daughter,
Miss Helen, VAS confirmed in that
faith.
After the domination the attack was
renewed from n wholly different quar-
ter and was based on the ground that
Mr.. Taft was n Unitarian. When this
report was brought to the attention OF
Mr.. Tafi, who has been conspicuous for
his breadth of view in religious mat
tiers and the assistance which he has
rendered on every opportunity to Chris
tian minister's and missionaries OF ev-
cry denomination. he became indignant
aud refused to defend his creed.
This method of attack has proved q
boomerang, and many Christian minis
tcrs, Indignant at the character OF tho
articles and editorials published on tho
subject, have FASTENED to testify to
their full confidence In the high char.
actcr and deep religious conviction Of
the Republican candidate.
Praise from Bishop TnIlows.
One OF the most notable declarations
- this character was that Of Bishop
Samuel Fallows of I'll" Reformed Epis-
cOpal Church Of Chicago, who declared
from the rOStrum ut Toledo his high
opinion OF Mr.. TAFT, saying In part:
"lIc Is easily n master among all the
mnstcrful men who are to. day c%ontroll-
ing the governments of the earth. Ile
~ deeply religious, without II trace OF
bigotry, fearing God and working right
collsrcSs as did the two Alamscs and
Abraham Lincoln. lie IL equally tho

President should be-. | can aver with
out fear OF successful contradiction that
no man ever cam" before the American
people for the highest honor In their
Iift, the proud"st political position

10 meet It's w"ighiy responsibilities as
Mr.. TAFT. He Is broad IN the back,
broad IN the brow and broad In the
heart"
