PRESS OPINIONS.

New York World: William II. Taft is
the next President Of the United States
provided the Democratic national conven-
ton nominates William J. Bryan.
1T is an Office for which Mir. Taft has
conspicuous qualifications. But, best Of
ALL his nomination means the end Of

the end Of personal government Of auto
cratic regime. OF militarism. Of jingOism.
Of rough Tiderism. of administration By
shouting and clamor, tumult and denun-
citation. II means the end Of the Roose-
welt reign Of terror and the restoration of
the Presidency 70 its historical dignity
under the Constitution.
Mr.. Taft may be pledged 10 Mr.. Roose-
velt's policies, but he is certainly not
pledged TO Mr. Roosevelts methods"
New York Press: There are Repub-
llcans who have believed that a stronger
candidate than William Howard Taft
could be named for the head Of their
national ticket They have had no doubt.
for example. that a man like Gov Hughes
could poll more votes than the Secretary
Of War, and they have not hesltated 10
say so. Probably they will adhere 70
their opinion.
There are Republicans who have re-
sented the selection Of a candidate for
them by methods and forces which are
not truly representative Of the voting
members Of the party. Perhaps they still
grleve over those facts. But William
Howard Taft Is the Republican NOMINEES
for President. and no one can doubt his
capacity 20 administer the greatest Office
in the world as Il should be admins

dent Of melting riot and panic Of throt-
